Chapter
LX.—The Creator the Supreme God.
Then Peter said: “You represent him as
weak enough. For if, as you say, he is more powerful than all, it
can never be believed the weaker wrenched the spoils from the
stronger.667
Or if God
the Creator was able by violence to bring down souls into this world,
how can it be that, when they are separated from the body and freed
from the bonds of captivity, the good God shall call them to the
sufferance of punishment, on the ground that they, either through his
remissness or weakness, were dragged away to this place, and were
involved in the body, as in the darkness of ignorance? You seem
to me not to know what a father and a God is: but I could tell
you both whence souls are, and when and how they were made; but it is
not permitted to me now to disclose these things to you, who are in
such error in respect of the knowledge of God.” Then said
Simon: “A time will come when you shall be sorry that you
did not understand me speaking of the ineffable power.”
Then said Peter: “Give us then, as I have often said, as
being yourself a new God, or as having yourself come down from him,
some new sense, by means of which we may know that new God of whom you
speak; for those five senses, which God our Creator has given us, keep
faith to their own Creator, and do not perceive that there is any other
God, for so their nature necessitates them.”
