The church has been planted as a paradise in this world.

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

Jesus Christ, in His infinite love, has become what we are, in order that He may make us entirely what He is.

And when we come to refute them, we shall show in its fitting place that this class of men [i.e., the gnostics] has been instigated by satan to a denial of that baptism which is regeneration to God, and thus to a denial of the whole faith [by denying all physical aspects of spirituality, including the incarnatian and bodily resurrection of Jesus].

[Peter] testified to [the Jews in Acts 2] that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, the Judge of the living and dead, into whom he did also command them to be baptized for the remission of sins.

The preaching of the Church truly continues without change and is everywhere the same. It has the testimony of the Prophets and Apostles and all their disciples.

Through a tree we were made debtors to God; so through a tree we have our debt canceled.
