The First Apology

To make this clear to you: firstly, everything we claim aligns with what Christ taught us and the prophets before Him, and these truths predate all other writers. We seek acknowledgment not just because we share the same messages as those writers, but because we speak the truth. Secondly, Jesus Christ is the only true Son begotten by God, being His Word, first-begotten, and power; and He became man according to God's will to teach us for the conversion and restoration of humanity. Thirdly, before He became a man, some, influenced by the aforementioned demons, used poets to describe these events as if they truly occurred, crafting stories they invented, just as they have fabricated false reports against us of scandalous and wicked actions without any witness or proof. We will provide the following proof.
