Chapter VII.—Continuation: inconsistency of Satan. And how, again, does Christ not at all appear to thee to be of the Virgin, but to be God over all,849 and the Almighty? Say, then, who sent Him? Who was Lord over Him? And whose will did He obey? And what laws did He fulfil, since He was subject neither to the will nor power of any one? And while you deny that Christ was born,850 you affirm that the 118 unbegotten was begotten, and that He who had no beginning was nailed to the cross, by whose permission I am unable to say.

Epistle to the Tarsians, chap. ii. 850 Literally, “and taking away Christ from being born.” 851 Literally, “double.” Chapter VII.—Continuation: inconsistency of Satan. 323 Chapter VII.—Continuation: inconsistency of Satan.
