Quote

And this food is called among us the Eucharist, of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins and to regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined.

Justin Martyr

No one who is rightly minded turns from true belief to false.
Justin Martyr
Image
Sound doctrine does not enter into the hard and disobedient heart but, as if beaten back, enters anew into itself.
Justin Martyr
Image
In that we say he [Christ] made whole the lame, the paralytic, and those born blind, we seem to say what is very similar to the deeds said to have been done by Esculapius.
Justin Martyr
Image
The world suffers nothing from Christians but hates them because they reject its pleasures.
Justin Martyr
Image
We have strayed from the Immortal's ways And worship with a dull and senseless mind Idols, the workmanship of our own hands, And images and figures of dead men.
Justin Martyr
Image
When we say that Jesus Christ was produced without sexual union, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended to heaven, we propound nothing new or different from what you believe regarding those whom you call the sons of Jupiter.
Justin Martyr
Image
Not as common bread or as common drink do we receive these.....We have been taught that the food that has been Eucharistized by the word of prayer, that food which by assimilation nourishes our flesh and blood, is the flesh and blood of the incarnate Jesus.
Justin Martyr
Image
We pray for our enemies we seek to persuade those who hate us without cause to live conformably to the goodly precepts of Christ, that they may become partakers with us of the joyful hope of blessings from God, the Lord of all.
Justin Martyr
Image
Let it be understood that those who are not found living as He taught are not Christian- even though they profess with the lips the teaching of Christ.
Justin Martyr
Image
But if so great a power is shown to have followed and to be still following the dispensation of His suffering, how great shall that be which shall follow His glorious advent! For He shall come on the clouds as the Son of man, so Daniel foretold, and His angels shall come with Him.
Justin Martyr
Image
And if we even affirm that He was born of a virgin, accept this in common with what you accept of Perseus.
Justin Martyr
