And observe how, while seeking to\r\nturn us away from our faith in the God of all through Jesus\r\nChrist, he exhorts us for the welfare of our bodies to faith in six-and-thirty\r\nbarbarous demons, whom the Egyptian magi alone\r\ncall upon in some unknown way, and promise us in return great\r\nbenefits. According to Celsus, then, it would be better for us\r\nnow to give ourselves up to magic and sorcery than to embrace\r\nChristianity, and to put our faith in an innumerable multitude\r\nof demons than in the almighty, living, self-revealing God, who\r\nhas manifested Himself by Him who by His great power has\r\nspread the true principles of holiness among all men throughout\r\nthe world; yea, I may add without exaggeration, He has given\r\nthis knowledge to all beings everywhere possessed of reason,\r\nand needing deliverance from the plague and corruption of sin.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK VIII.","Chapter LIX."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-606"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"5456b6e5892d08798d0c86afdac58fd2ed9d7fcaf01988753686f528f320e957","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
