Tertullian Blood Quotations

The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.

The more you mow us down, the more numerous we grow; the blood of Christians is seed.

The blood of Christians is seed.

The blood of the Christians is seed

The flesh feeds on the Body and Blood of Christ that the soul may be fattened on God

In our case, murder being once for all forbidden, we may not destroy even the fetus in the womb, while as yet the human being derives blood from other parts of the body for its sustenance. To hinder birth is merely a speedier man-killing; nor does it matter whether you take away a life that is born, or destroy one that is coming to the birth. That is a man which is going to be one; you have the fruit already in the seed.
