But another party\r\nmight object, that not all those who have narrated the appearance\r\nof the dove and the voice from heaven heard the\r\naccounts of these things from Jesus, but that that Spirit\r\nwhich taught Moses the history of events before his own\r\ntime, beginning with the creation, and descending down to\r\nAbraham his father, taught also the writers of the Gospel the\r\nmiraculous occurrence which took place at the time of Jesus’\r\nbaptism. And he who is adorned with the spiritual gift,<a id=\"r1192\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1192\"><sup>[1192]</sup></a>\r\ncalled the “word of wisdom,” will explain also the reason of\r\nthe heavens opening, and the dove appearing, and why the\r\nHoly Spirit appeared to Jesus in the form of no other living\r\nthing than that of a dove. But our present subject does not\r\nrequire us to explain this, our purpose being to show that\r\nCelsus displayed no sound judgment in representing a Jew\r\nas disbelieving, on such grounds, a fact which has greater\r\nprobability in its favour than many events in which he\r\nfirmly reposes confidence.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN CONTRA CELSUM.","ORIGEN AGAINST CELSUS.
