No man can know God unless God has taught him; that is to say, that without God, God cannot be known.

He [Jesus] came to save all through himself; all, I say, who through him are reborn in God: infants, and children, and youths, and old men. Therefore he passed through every age, becoming an infant for infants, sanctifying infants; a child for children, sanctifying those who are of that age . . . [so that] he might be the perfect teacher in all things, perfect not only in respect to the setting forth of truth, perfect also in respect to relative age

No man can know God unless God has taught him; that is to say, that without God, God cannot be known.

Since it is impossible, without God, to come to knowledge of God, he teaches men through his Word to know God.

The glory of God is a human being fully alive; and to be alive consists in beholding God.

It is not necessary to seek the truth among others which it is easy to obtain from the Church; since the apostles, like a rich man [depositing his money] in a bank, lodged in her hands most copiously all things pertaining to the truth.

God became man, that we might be gods.
