More quotes by Tertullian
Prevention of birth is premature murder, and it makes no difference whether it is a life already born that one snatches away or a life that is coming to birth.
Tertullian
I believe BECAUSE it's impossible.
Tertullian
The Christian does not hurt even his enemy.
Tertullian
But now inquiry is being made concerning these issues. First, can any believer enlist in the military? Second, can any soldier, even those of the rank and file or lesser grades who neither engage in pagan sacrifices nor capital punishment, be admitted into the church? No on both counts.
Tertullian
The Son of God died it is by all means to be believed because it is absurd. And he was buried and rose again the fact is certain, because it is impossible.
Tertullian
Patience is God's nature.
Tertullian
The first reaction to truth is hatred.
Tertullian
Away with the one who is always seeking, for he never finds anything for he is seeking where nothing can be found. Away with the one who is always knocking, for he knocks where there is no one to open away with the one who is always asking, for he asks of one who does not hear.
Tertullian
Now we allow that life begins with conception, because we contend that the soul also begins from conception life taking its commencement at the same moment and place that the soul does.
Tertullian
Thus the connection of the Father in the Son, and of the Son in the Paraclete, produces three coherent Persons, who are yet distinct One from Another. These three are one [thing], not one [Person], as it is said, 'I and my Father are One,' in respect of unity of substance not singularity of number.
Tertullian
Daily, every moment, prayer is necessary to men.
Tertullian
Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading.
Tertullian
For those women sin against God when they rub their skin with ointments, stain their cheeks with rouge, and make their eyes prominent with antimony. To them, I suppose, the artistic skill of God is displeasing!
Tertullian
The state of faith allows no mention of impossibility.
Tertullian
Against Him those women sin who torment their skin with potions, stain their cheeks with rouge and extend the line of their eyes with black coloring. Doubtless they are dissatisfied with God's plastic skill. In their own persons they convict and censure the Artificer of all things.
Tertullian
Prayer is the one thing that can conquer God
Tertullian
Where our work is, there let our joy be.
Tertullian
There are still preserved among Christians traces of that Holy Spirit that appeared in the form of a dove. They expel evil spirits, perform many cures, and foresee certain events.
Tertullian
Let women paint their eyes with tints of chastity, insert into their ears the word of God, tie the yoke of Christ around their necks, and adorn their whole persons with the silk of sanctity and the damask of devotion.
Tertullian
Fear is the foundation of safety.
Tertullian
