451 Hermogenes, After a Perverse Induction from Mere Heretical Assumptions, Concludes that God Created All Things Out of Pre-Existing Matter. 452 An Argument of Hermogenes. The Answer: While God is a Title Eternally Applicable to the Divine Being, Lord and Father are Only Relative Appellations, Not Eternally Applicable. An Inconsistency in the Argument of Hermogenes Pointed Out. 453 Hermogenes Gives Divine Attributes to Matter, and So Makes Two Gods. 454 Hermogenes Coquets with His Own Argument, as If Rather Afraid of It. After Investing Matter with Divine Qualities, He Tries to Make It Somehow Inferior to God. 455 The Shifts to Which Hermogenes is Reduced, Who Deifies Matter, and Yet is Unwilling to Hold Him Equal with the Divine Creator. 456 Hermogenes Held to His Theory in Order that Its Absurdity May Be Exposed on His Own Principles. 457 On His Own Principles, Hermogenes Makes Matter, on the Whole, Superior to God. 458 Sundry Inevitable But Intolerable Conclusions from the Principles of Hermogenes. 459 To What Straits Hermogenes Absurdly Reduces the Divine Being. He Does Nothing Short of Making Him the Author of Evil. 460 Hermogenes Makes Great Efforts to Remove Evil from God to Matter. How He Fails to Do This Consistently with His Own Argument. 461 The Mode of Controversy Changed. The Premisses of Hermogenes Accepted, in Order to Show into What Confusion They Lead Him. 462 Another Ground of Hermogenes that Matter Has Some Good in It. Its Absurdity. 463 Tertullian Pushes His Opponent into a Dilemma. 464 The Truth, that God Made All Things from Nothing, Rescued from the Opponent's Flounderings. 465 A Series of Dilemmas. They Show that Hermogenes Cannot Escape from the Orthodox Conclusion. 466 The Truth of God's Work in Creation. You Cannot Depart in the Least from It, Without Landing Yourself in an Absurdity. 467 An Eulogy on the Wisdom and Word of God, by Which God Made All Things of Nothing. 468 An Appeal to the History of Creation. True Meaning of the Term Beginning, Which the Heretic Curiously Wrests to an Absurd Sense. 469 Meaning of the Phrase--In the Beginning. Tertullian Connects It with the Wisdom of God, and Elicits from It the Truth that the Creation Was Not Out of Pre-Existent Matter. 470 A Retort of Heresy Answered. That Scripture Should in So Many Words Tell Us that the World Was Made of Nothing is Superfluous. 471 This Conclusion Confirmed by the Usage of Holy Scripture in Its History of the Creation. Hermogenes in Danger of the Woe Pronounced Against Adding to Scripture. 472 Hermogenes Pursued to Another Passage of Scripture. The Absurdity of His Interpretation Exposed. 473 Earth Does Not Mean Matter as Hermogenes Would Have It. 474 The Assumption that There are Two Earths Mentioned in the History of the Creation, Refuted. 475 The Method Observed in the History of the Creation, in Reply to the Perverse Interpretation of Hermogenes.
