It is not consistent with truth that a man should sacrifice half of his stomach only to God-that he should be sober in drinking, but intemperate in eating. Your belly is your God, your liver is your temple, your paunch is your altar, the cook is your priest, and the fat steam is your Holy Spirit; the seasonings and the sauces are your chrisms, and your belchings are your prophesizing...[such] a grossly- feeding Christian is akin to lions and wolves rather than God. Our Lord Jesus called Himself Truth and not habit.

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?

See how these Christians love one another.

Now then, you dogs, whom the apostle puts outside and who yelp at the God of truth, let us come to your various questions.

Discipline is an index to doctrine.

A man becomes a Christian, he is not born one.

Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading.
