More quotes by Tertullian
Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading.
Tertullian
A man becomes a Christian, he is not born one.
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
See how these Christians love one another.
Tertullian
Whatever is born is the work of God. So whatever is plastered on, is the devil's work.... How unworthy of the Christian name it is to wear a fictitious face - you on whom simplicity in every form is enjoined! You, to whom lying with the tongue is not lawful, are lying in appearance.
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
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
What has Athens to do with Jerusalem.
Tertullian
Nothing that is God's is obtainable by money
Tertullian
Let women paint their eyes with tints of chastity.
Tertullian
The Christian does not hurt even his enemy.
Tertullian
To forbid birth is only quicker murder.
Tertullian
Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
Tertullian
It is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions.
Tertullian
Fear is the foundation of safety.
Tertullian
The soul whose bosom lust did never touch Is God's fair bride and maiden's souls are such.
Tertullian
Daily, every moment, prayer is necessary to men.
Tertullian
Indeed heresies are themselves instigated by philosophy
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
The blood of the Christians is seed
Tertullian
