Testimonia

{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p class=\"c006\">It was for these and similar mysterious reasons, with which\r\nMoses and the prophets were acquainted, that they forbade the\r\nname of other gods to be pronounced by him who bethought\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_317\">317</span>himself of praying to the one Supreme God alone, or to be remembered\r\nby a heart which had been taught to be pure from\r\nall foolish thoughts and words. And for these reasons we\r\nshould prefer to endure all manner of suffering rather than\r\nacknowledge Jupiter to be God. For we do not consider\r\nJupiter and Sabaoth to be the same, nor Jupiter to be at all\r\ndivine, but that some demon, unfriendly to men and to the true\r\nGod, rejoices under this title.<a id=\"r990\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f990\"><sup>[990]</sup></a> And although the Egyptians\r\nwere to hold Ammon before us under threat of death, we\r\nwould rather die than address him as God, it being a name\r\nused in all probability in certain Egyptian incantations in which\r\nthis demon is invoked. And although the Scythians may call\r\nPappæus the supreme God, yet we will not yield our assent to\r\nthis; granting, indeed, that there <i>is</i> a Supreme Deity, although\r\nwe do not give the name Pappæus to Him as His proper title,\r\nbut regard it as one which is agreeable to the demon to whom\r\nwas allotted the desert of Scythia, with its people and its\r\nlanguage. He, however, who gives God His title in the\r\nScythian tongue, or in the Egyptian or in any language in\r\nwhich he has been brought up, will not be guilty of sin.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK V.","Chapter XLVI."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-373"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"a36631cb71e708a244779c9a78b1920a8d09aff512b1696e9901f7ec9a453191","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
