About Tertullian

Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus (c. 155 – c. 240) was a theologian in the early Christian church, known for his powerful denunciations of many influences he considered heretical, including the widespread admiration of pagan philosophers and Gnostic ideas. Later in life Tertullian defended Montanism, a belief that was later declared heretical.

Additional quotes by Tertullian

It is certain because it is impossible

But how will a Christian engage in war — indeed, how will a Christian even engage in military service during peacetime — without the sword, which the Lord has taken away? For although soldiers had approached John to receive instructions and a centurion believed, this does not change the fact that afterward, the Lord, by disarming Peter, disarmed every soldier.

Under no circumstances should a true Christian draw the sword.
