Now, as these statements\r\nhave been condemned as falsehoods invented against the Christians,\r\nand this admission made by the multitude and those altogether\r\naliens to our faith; so would the following statements\r\nof Celsus be found to be calumnies invented against the Christians,\r\nwhere he says that “he has seen in the hands of certain\r\npresbyters belonging to our faith<a id=\"r1228\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1228\"><sup>[1228]</sup></a> barbarous books, containing\r\nthe names and marvellous doings of demons;” asserting further,\r\nthat “these presbyters of our faith professed to do no good,\r\nbut all that was calculated to injure human beings.” Would,\r\nindeed, that all that is said by Celsus against the Christians\r\nwas of such a nature as to be refuted by the multitude, who\r\nhave ascertained by experience that such things are untrue,\r\nseeing that most of them have lived as neighbours with the\r\nChristians, and have not even heard of the existence of any\r\nsuch alleged practices!</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK VI.","Chapter XL."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-433"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"16ce892928b7825938a5d490b4871aceaeea0dc9b1e49234b34ea4606d71a282","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
