Working of the church of Jesus Christ

“From every point of view, therefore, it must be seen that in no other way than only from the prophets who teach us by divine inspiration, is it at all possible to learn anything concerning God and the true religion.” (Justin Martyr, Hortatory Address to the Greeks, Ante-Nicene Fathers 1:289 chap.38)

I take this to mean that men, on thier own, pervert the truth, and so ONLY through continual inspiration of God can the truth be kept, and passed, and learned.


Truthfully, i have no idea the source of this quote. i do not know who Justin Martyr is, as of the post of this blog, but I will no doubt learn soon enough. Nethertheless I beleive this statement by him as accurate.
