A.D. 197-220 [http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/tertullian.html Tertullian (earlychristianwritings.com)] —"ONE proof of that ignorance of yours, which condemns whilst it excuses your injustice, is at once apparent in the fact, that all who once shared in your ignorance and hatred (of the Christian religion), as soon as they have come to know it, leave off their hatred when they cease to be ignorant; nay more, they actually themselves become what they had hated, and take to hating what they had once been." —Ad nations

A.D. 203-250 [http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/origen.html Origen (earlychristianwritings)] —"For I do not know in what rank to place him who has need of arguments written in books in answer to the charges of [[Celsus]] against the Christians, in order to prevent him from being shaken in his faith, and confirm him in it. But nevertheless, since in the multitude of those who are considered believers some such persons might be found as would have their faith shaken and overthrown by the writings of Celsus, but who might be preserved by a reply to them of such a nature as to refute his statements and to exhibit the truth, we have deemed it right to yield to your injunction, and to furnish an answer to the treatise which you sent us, but which I do not think that any one, although only a short way advanced in philosophy, will allow to be a "True Discourse," as Celsus has entitled it." —Origen. Contra Celsus, Book I
