More quotes by 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
Daily, every moment, prayer is necessary to men.
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
Where our work is, there let our joy be.
Tertullian
Those who fled will fight another time.
Tertullian
Patience is God's nature.
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
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 state of faith allows no mention of impossibility.
Tertullian
If the sky stands still, if the earth quakes, if there is famine, if there is pestilence, at once the cry is raised: Throw the Christians to the lions! So many to one?
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
It is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions.
Tertullian
I believe BECAUSE it's impossible.
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
To forbid birth is only quicker murder.
Tertullian
The soul whose bosom lust did never touch Is God's fair bride and maiden's souls are such.
Tertullian
Nothing that is God's is obtainable by money
Tertullian
The Christian does not hurt even his enemy.
Tertullian
It is absolutely forbidden to repay evil with evil.
Tertullian
