Excerpt: ...It was not merely because heathens and heretics worshipped false or imaginary Gods: it was, on this broad, plain, and most rational principle--that religious worship was unsuitable to any creature--that it belonged only to the Creator of all things. He argues that Christ is God because he is worshipped, for that no one except God can be worshipped. His argument is very remarkable. 1 Tertull. Scorpiace, p. 490. 'Cyprian, ad Demetrian, p. 232. ed.
