The Homilies Of S. John Chrysostom ... On The Gospel Of St. Matthew, Volume 11, Part 1 by John Chrysostom
There comes a heathen and says, ' I wish to become a Christian, but I know not whom to join: there is much fighting and faction among you, much confusion: which doctrine am I to choose?' How shall we answer him? ' Each of you' (says he) 'asserts, ' I speak the truth.'' No doubt: this is in our favor. For if we told you to be persuaded by arguments, you might well be perplexed: but if we bid you believe the Scriptures, and these are simple and true, the decision is easy for you. If any agree with the Scriptures, he is the Christian; if any fight against them, he is far from this rule.
