The ever-living One

He who is spiritual sought out the earthy in the womb; He who is the ever-living One sought out him who, through disobedience, is subject to death; He who is heavenly called the terrene to the things that are above; He who is the nobly-born sought, by means of His own subjection, to declare the slave free; He transformed the man into adamant who was dissolved into dust and made the food of the serpent, and declared Him who hung on the tree to be Lord over the conqueror, and thus through the tree He is found victor. Hippolytus of … Continue reading The ever-living One

Marcia, the God-loving concubine

But after a time, there being in that place other martyrs, Marcia, a concubine of Commodus, who was a God-loving female, and desirous of performing some good work, invited into her presence the blessed Victor, who was at that time a bishop of the Church, and inquired of him what martyrs were in Sardinia. And he delivered to her the names of all, but did not give the name of Callistus, knowing the villanous acts he had ventured upon. Marcia, obtaining her request from Commodus, hands the letter of emancipation to Hyacinthus, a certain eunuch, rather advanced in life. And … Continue reading Marcia, the God-loving concubine

Hippolytus of Rome. 1886. “The Refutation of All Heresies.” In Fathers of the Third Century: Hippolytus, Cyprian, Novatian, Appendix, edited by Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson, and A.

Gnostic jesus vs Jesus

God and His people were was wise to not allow the gnostic gospels to be included in with the Gospels of Scripture but rather to expose them! Two claims were made in the first and second centuries. The gnostic Naasseni and Jesus of the Gospels both made testable similar predictions. The Jesus of the Gospels in the Bible—and not the Jesus of the Naasseni writings—fulfilled their own prediction. The non-gnostic Jesus won! And He keeps winning, and only He fulfills Isaiah 49:6! Nobody would even know about Jesus if it weren’t for the Jesus of the non-gnostic Gospels in your … Continue reading Gnostic jesus vs Jesus
