Tertullian

“ But I am yet a liege-man of the Demiurge. I have to return after death to the place where there is no more giving in marriage, where I have to be clothed upon rather than to be despoiled,—where, even if I am despoiled of my sex, I am classed with angels—not a male angel, nor a female one. There will be no one to do aught against me, nor will they then find any male energy in me. ”

“ The souls of just men, that is to say, our souls, will be conveyed to the Demiurge in the abodes of the middle region. We are duly thankful; we shall be content to be classed with our god, in whom lies our own origin. ”

“ As for the human race, its end will be to the following effect:—To all which bear the earthy [1] and material mark there accrues an entire destruction, because “all flesh is grass,” [2] and amongst these is the soul of mortal man, except when it has found salvation by faith. ”
