It is our care for the helpless, our practice of loving kindness, that brands us in the eyes of those who oppose us.
TertullianIndeed it is better to postpone, lest either we complete too little by hurrying, or wander too long in completing it.
TertullianEnoch predicted that "the demons and the spirits of the angelic apostates would turn into idolatry all the elements, all the adornment of the universe, and all things contained in the heaven, the sea, and the earth, that they might be consecrated as God in opposition to God." All things, therefore, does human error worship, except the Founder of all himself. The images of those things are idols; the consecration of the images is idolatry.
