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.

More quotes by 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
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.
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
Let women paint their eyes with tints of chastity.
Tertullian
The blood of the Christians is seed
Tertullian
Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading.
Tertullian
Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
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
It is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions.
Tertullian
The soul whose bosom lust did never touch Is God's fair bride and maiden's souls are such.
Tertullian
The first reaction to truth is hatred.
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
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.
Tertullian
The state of faith allows no mention of impossibility.
Tertullian
Discipline is an index to doctrine.
Tertullian
Prayer is the one thing that can conquer God
Tertullian
You can judge the quality of their faith from the way they behave. Discipline is an index to doctrine.
Tertullian
The Christian does not hurt even his enemy.
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
It is absolutely forbidden to repay evil with evil.
Tertullian
