More quotes by Tertullian
What has Athens to do with Jerusalem.
Tertullian
[Hermogenes] despises God's law in his painting, maintains repeated marriages [almost certainly a reference to remarrying after divorce or perhaps even widowhood, which Tertullian, who became a Montanist, opposed], alleges the law of God in defense of lust [likely same reference], and yet despises it in respect of his art.
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
Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
Tertullian
It is absolutely forbidden to repay evil with evil.
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
A man becomes a Christian, he is not born one.
Tertullian
Daily, every moment, prayer is necessary to men.
Tertullian
The state of faith allows no mention of impossibility.
Tertullian
Patience is God's nature.
Tertullian
It is certain because it is impossible. -Certum est quia impossibile
Tertullian
It is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions.
Tertullian
See how these Christians love one another.
Tertullian
The Christian does not hurt even his enemy.
Tertullian
Men remain in ignorance as long as they hate, and they hate unjustly as long as they remain in ignorance.
Tertullian
The nature of rumor is well known to all. It was your own poet who said: 'Rumor, an evil surpassing all evils in speed.'
Tertullian
The Lord challenges us to suffer persecutions and to confess Him. He wants thiose who belong to him to be brave and fearless. He himself shows how weakness of the flesh is overcome by courage of the Spirit....A christian is fearless.
Tertullian
Fear is the foundation of safety.
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
It is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions. One man's religion neither harms nor helps another man. It is assuredly no part of religion to compel religion, to which free will and not force should lead us.
Tertullian
