That one God formed all things in the world, by means of the Word and the Holy Spirit: and that although He is to us in this life invisible and incomprehensible, nevertheless He is not unknown; inasmuch as His works do declare Him, and His Word has shown that in many modes He may be seen and known. 1. As regards His greatness, therefore, it is not possible to know God, for it i…
1. Full of feeling somehow is the female sex, and more inclined to pity. I say this, lest you should wonder how it could be that Mary wept bitterly at the tomb, while Peter was in no way so affected. For, The disciples, it says, went away unto their own home; but she stood shedding tears. Because hers was a feeble nature, and she as yet knew not accurately the account of the Re…
Chapter 1 In the six former books we have endeavoured, reverend brother Ambrosius, according to our ability to meet the charges brought by Celsus against the Christians, and have as far as possible passed over nothing without first subjecting it to a full and close examination. And now, while we enter upon the seventh book, we call upon God through Jesus Christ, whom Celsus acc…
1 And the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In the preceding section, my revered brother Ambrosius, brother formed according to the Gospel, we have discussed, as far as is at present in our power, what the Gospel is, and what is the beginning in which the Word was, and what the Word is which was in the beginning. We now come to consider the next point in the work before …

Is prophecy natural? Is it from God by means of the angels? Is a natural disposition requisite for prophecy? Is a good life requisite? Is any prophecy from the demons? Do prophets of the demons ever tell what is true? Article 1. Whether prophecy can be natural? Objection 1. It would seem that prophecy can be natural. For Gregory says (Dial. iv, 26) that "sometimes the mere stre…
Was there any habitual grace in the soul of Christ? Were there virtues in Christ? Did He have faith? Did He have hope? Were there the gifts in Christ? Was the gift of fear in Christ? Were there any gratuitous graces in Christ? Was there prophecy in Christ? Was there the fulness of grace in Him? Was such fulness proper to Christ? Was the grace of Christ infinite? Could it have b…
Q. What do you understand by the communion of saints? A. First, that believers one and all, as members of this community, share in Christ and in all his treasures and gifts. Second, that each member should consider it a duty to use these gifts readily and cheerfully for the service and enrichment of the other members.
Basil demonstrates that in every divine operation, the three Persons work inseparably. There are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit; varieties of service but the same Lord; varieties of activities but the same God. One God and Father, one Lord, one Spirit — inseparable in nature and operation.
The Holy Spirit is one and the same Spirit — not many spirits but one divine person, the Sanctifier, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth. He spoke through the prophets, descended at Pentecost, distributes gifts to the Church, and dwells in every baptized believer. Cyril warns against dividing the Spirit or diminishing His divinity: He is to be worshipped and glorified together w…
