LXX: Who else has dispersed the signs of the pythons, and the divinations from the heart? Who turns wise men backward, and makes their counsel foolish. Therefore, when the appointed time of the predetermined mystery arrives, so that all idols are destroyed and the knowledge of the one true God is preached in the world, he will destroy and overthrow all the prophecies of the divine, the pythonesses, and the soothsayers, along with the signs and wonders by which they have deceived the human race. And he will show that the wisdom of the philosophers, which is itself the greatest part of error, is foolish, since by no means can human thoughts comprehend the wisdom of God.<br/><i>— Commentary on Isaiah</i></p><p><b>Tertullian</b>: Remember that the \"heart of humanity is ashes,\" according to the estimate of God, and that \"the very wisdom of the world is foolishness.\" … Then, if the heretic seeks refuge in the depraved thoughts of the vulgar or the imaginations of the world, I must say to him, \"Part company with the heathen, O heretic!\" For although you are all agreed in imagining a God, yet while you do so in the name of Christ, so long as you deem yourself a Christian, you are a different person from a heathen. So give the nonbeliever back his own view of things, since he does not himself learn from yours. Why lean on a blind guide, if you have eyes of your own? Why be clothed by one who is naked, if you have put on Christ?<br/><i>— ON THE RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH 3</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"8c4d1c21d41dddc7bb23f66f1ca4aa9707c8eaf97e2183634d7a21a736345555","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":7490,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"d4bbc035f140b2e2fc81b119dd1117d16562ba5ab8d3de8fa71804d6b5336dc1","translator":null,"work":null}
