We say, and we say openly, and while ye torture us, mangled and gory we cry out, We worship God through Christ! Believe Him a man: it is through Him and in Him that God willeth Himself to be known and worshipped.

More quotes by Tertullian
How many men of rank (to say nothing of common people) have been delivered from devils, and healed of diseases!
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
The angels as the guardians of men are set over men as instructors and monitors. This shows the relationship that is to exist between them. Man's attitude is to be one of obedience and subjection. He is to follow the lead of the angels, and consequently some reverence is already implied in the very relationship that exists between man and angel.
Tertullian
Now then, you dogs, whom the apostle puts outside and who yelp at the God of truth, let us come to your various questions.
Tertullian
If the Tiber rises too high, or the Nile too low, the remedy is always feeding Christians to the lions.
Tertullian
See how these Christians love one another.
Tertullian
The usual complaint is, 'I have no other way of earning a living.' The harsh reply can be, 'Do you have to live?'
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
The blood of Christians is seed.
Tertullian
The blood of the Christians is seed
Tertullian
He who lives only to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies.
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 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
Illustrious confessors of Jesus Christ, a Christian finds in prison the same joys as the prophets tasted in the desert. Call it not a dungeon, but a solitude. When the soul is in heaven, the body feels not the weight of fetters it carries the whole man along with it.
Tertullian
Where our work is, there let our joy be.
Tertullian
Let women paint their eyes with tints of chastity.
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
I believe because it is absurd.
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 blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
Tertullian
