Image
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
Image
Men remain in ignorance as long as they hate, and they hate unjustly as long as they remain in ignorance.
Tertullian
Image
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

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
Image
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
Image
The Word, then, the Christ, is the cause both of our ancient beginning, for lie was in God, and of our well-being. And now this same Word has appeared as man. He alone is both God and man, and the source of all our good things

Tertullian
Image
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.
