Tertullian: Against Marcion 3:5
"...Sicut
et praedicans de Nationum conversione: Benedicent me
bestiae agri, sirenes et filiae passerum (Is. XLIII,
20); non utique ab hirundinum pullis et vulpeculis,
et illis monstruosis fabulosisque cantricibus fausta
[0326D] omina relaturus
est. Et quid ego de isto genere amplius?
[0327A] cum etiam (I Cor.
IX, 9),
haereticorum apostolus
, ipsam legem indulgentem bobus terentibus os
liberum, non de bubus, sed de nobis interpretetur:
et petram potui subministrando comitem, Christum
alleget (I Cor. X, 4) fuisse, docens proinde et
Galatas (Gal. IV, 22), duo argumenta filiorum
Abrahae allegorice cucurrisse, et suggerens Ephesiis
(Eph. V, 51), quod in primordio de homine
praedicatum est, relicturo patrem et matrem, et
futuris duobus in unam carnem, id se in Christum et
Ecclesiam agnoscere..."
- Tertullian naming Paul "the
apostle of the heretics". |

Clementine
Recognitions - Book 1, ch LXX
1.70 -- Tumult Raised by
Saul (Paul)
".....Therefore he [Paul] began to drive all into
confusion with shouting, and to undo
what had
been arranged with much labour,
and at the same time to reproach the priests, and to
enrage them with revilings and abuse, and, like a
madman, to excite every one to murder,
saying, 'What do ye?
Why do ye hesitate?
Oh sluggish and inert, why do we not lay hands upon
them, and pull all these fellows to pieces?'
"When he had said this,
he first, seizing a strong brand from the altar, set
the example of smiting.
Then others also, seeing him, were carried away with
like readiness. Then ensued a tumult on either side,
of the beating and the beaten. Much blood is shed;
there is a confused flight, in the midst of
which
that enemy attacked James, and threw him headlong
from the top of the steps;
and supposing him to be dead, he
cared not to inflict further violence upon him..."
