Whether is it Moses or Jesus who teaches falsely?\r\nDid the Father, when he sent Jesus, forget the commands\r\nwhich he had given to Moses? Or did he change his mind,\r\ncondemn his own laws, and send forth a messenger with\r\ncounter instructions?” Celsus, with all his boasts of universal\r\nknowledge, has here fallen into the most vulgar of errors, in\r\nsupposing that in the law and the prophets there is not a\r\nmeaning deeper than that afforded by a literal rendering of the\r\nwords. He does not see how manifestly incredible it is that\r\nworldly riches should be promised to those who lead upright\r\nlives, when it is a matter of common observation that the best\r\nof men have lived in extreme poverty. Indeed, the prophets\r\nthemselves, who for the purity of their lives received the Divine\r\nSpirit, “wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being\r\ndestitute, afflicted, tormented: they wandered in deserts, and\r\nin mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.”<a id=\"r1437\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1437\"><sup>[1437]</sup></a> For, as\r\nthe Psalmist says, “many are the afflictions of the righteous.”<a id=\"r1438\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1438\"><sup>[1438]</sup></a>\r\nIf Celsus had read the writings of Moses, he would, I daresay,\r\nhave supposed that when it is said to him who kept the law,\r\n“Thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou thyself shalt\r\nnot borrow,”<a id=\"r1439\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1439\"><sup>[1439]</sup></a> the promise is made to the just man, that his\r\ntemporal riches should be so abundant, that he would be able to\r\nlend not only to the Jews, not only to two or three nations, but\r\n“to many nations.” What, then, must have been the wealth\r\nwhich the just man received according to the law for his\r\nrighteousness, if he could lend to many nations? And must\r\nwe not suppose also, in accordance with this interpretation,\r\nthat the just man would never borrow anything? For it is\r\nwritten, “and thou shalt thyself borrow nothing.” Did then\r\nthat nation remain for so long a period attached to the religion\r\nwhich was taught by Moses, whilst, according to the supposition\r\nof Celsus, they saw themselves so grievously deceived by\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_442\">442</span>that lawgiver? For nowhere is it said of any one that he\r\nwas so rich as to lend to many nations. It is not to be believed\r\nthat they would have fought so zealously in defence of\r\na law whose promises had proved glaringly false, if they understood\r\nthem in the sense which Celsus gives to them. And if\r\nany one should say that the sins which are recorded to have\r\nbeen committed by the people are a proof that they despised\r\nthe law, doubtless from the feeling that they had been deceived\r\nby it, we may reply that we have only to read the history of\r\nthe times in order to find it shown that the whole people, after\r\nhaving done that which was evil in the sight of the Lord,\r\nreturned afterwards to their duty, and to the religion prescribed\r\nby the law.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK VII.","Chapter XVIII."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-495"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"e31f79ae87e3221b159450de0369d6a982333bff3843405c4bf4e1ce86c812c9","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
