Consequently, when you see many not only doing these things but also defending and recommending them, keep yourself firmly by the law of God, and follow not its willful transgressors.

As well as his theological understanding of the matter, Augustine also had his pastoral experience in Hippo to offer Deogratias. In De catizandis rudibus , "On catechizing beginners in the Faith" or "The First Catechetical Instruction" , Augustine intended to help deepen the Faith of those seeking the Christian religion who were still "rude.

And from the flesh assuredly He could not sustain any contamination, being Himself rather destined to purify the flesh. Before I do that, however, I wish you to keep in mind the fact that the mental effort is of one kind in the case of a person who dictates, with a future reader in his view, and that it is of quite another kind in the case of a person who speaks with a present hearer to whom to direct his attention. And yet we have not far to seek for the precept which will rule in this sphere. Then perchance such a person might be instructed by us in some such strain of address as the following: But whether this may be the case, or whatever other reason may be assigned for the Holy Spirit being called the finger of God , we ought not at any rate to think of the form of a human body when we hear this expression used.
