The expression is a paraphrase of Tertullian [160-220 AD], one of the early Church Fathers. The Church had been suffering sporadic prosecution by the Romans and Tertullian, a brilliant theologian, wrote to the Emperor and one of the things he said was, 'The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.' The implication was that the more you kill the stronger we become. This proved literally to be true, as more than three million lives were lost during the times of Roman persecution, but by the end of the era fully one tenth of the empire had coverted to Christianity or some seven million persons.

According to both Eusebius and St. Jerome (according to the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, usually abbreviated verbally to "the ODCC"),Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus (or Tertullian, as abbreviated and Anglicized) was born in the Roman provincial capital of Carthage, in the year 160 A.D. His father was a Roman army official, and Tertullian himself received the quality education of a Roman officer's child, including aspects of Imperial Roman Law; for this reason in much more modern times he's been occasionally mixed up with, or has had his work combined with that of, another Tertullianus, a Roman jurist who shared the same last name [perhaps for this reason True Knowledge, responding to my own question to "Answers.com" (I was living outside the country and without my theological library at the time I asked) had him being born in both "Rome and Tunisia" (which, given 1st Century AD travel times, would imply a really difficult delivery for his mother!)-- the ancient city of Carthage is now a suburb of the modern Tunisian capital, Tunis.]

If you mean Trinity in the Christian sense, the word is not found in the Scriptures but used to express the unity of the doctrine of God as subsisting as Three Distinct Persons. The word is derived from the Greek 'trias' first used by Theophilus (AD 168-183). It was also found in Latin by Tertullian (AD 220) to express this doctrine
1 answer
The new concept gradually gained adherents throughout the third century but also faced opposition, particularly from Arius, a popular Libyan priest at the beginning of the fourth century. The Trinity was adopted as Christian doctrine at the Council of Nicaea in 325, but the Church remained divided until Emperor Theodosius made belief in the Trinity a requirement for all Christians, around 380 CE.
The Holy Trinity supposedly has scriptural support in the 'Johannine Comma', 1 John 5:7-8 ("For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."), but that passage was never in the early Greek manuscripts. It appeared in the Latin translation of the fifth century, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea and long after the time of Tertullian.

Peter's martyrdom is believed to have happened in Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero.

In the second century, Tertullian described Paul as a spadone, which can be translated as 'eunuch', but can also be understood as a metaphor for celibacy. It seems that Tertullian did refer to Paul as actually being castrated, but care must be exercised in relying solely on a second century source. It may be that Paul 'became' a eunuch in the fertile mind of a second-century Church Father.

The word is derived from the Greek 'trias' first used by Theophilus AD 168-183, It also comes from the Latin word 'trinitas' used by Tertullian in AD 220 to express this doctrine

The early Church created lists of "seven deadly sins" at different times and in different circumstances. For example, Tertullian says the seven deadly sins are: idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, fornication, false-witness, and fraud.
When hermit monks began to live alone in the desert in the belief that in isolation they could not sin, they began to suffer temptations unique to their circumstances, which created a new list of seven deadly sins - one of which was envy.

The name "Melchior" is not in the Bible, and didn't become part of Catholic tradition until the middle ages.
This term was given to one of the 'Magi" (often called: '3 kings' or 'wise men') who visited Jesus sometime after his birth(Matthew 2:1+7 LB). Nowhere in the Bible, however, are we told the NUMBER or NAMES of these visitors. Ancient historians Justin Martyr, Origen, and Tertullian understood them to be a group of "astrologers"(not kings), the term 'magi' being related to the English "Magician".

Praying for the dead is very ancient, it goes all the way back to the Old Testament when the Jews offered sacrifice for the dead that "they may be freed from their sins." The Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed in the Catholic Church is likewise rooted in ancient tradition, of which we have evidence from the 2nd century and Tertullian. St. Odilo of Cluny (1 Jan) actually established a this memorial of all the faithful departed in 988 A.D. at his Abbey of Cluny. It was accepted by Rome and extended to the entire Church in the 13th century.

A person named John probably writed on the Patmos Island The Revelation (Apocalypse).
Roman Catholic AnswerAccording to Tertullian's testimony, the Romans attempted to boil St. John alive in boiling oil, when he survived that unscathed, he was exiled to the island of Patmos under the emperor, Domitian. After Domitian's death, John returned to Ephesus. He died about the age of 100, but that was at Ephesus, he would have been younger when he was at Patmos. See the Catholic Encyclopedia article below:1 answer

Catholic AnswerThe main "trait", if you will, of Catholicism is charity, or love. As the ancient pagan historian, Tertullian wrote: "See, how they love each other." The pagans were fascinated that the Catholic Christians did not expose their children, did not practice birth control (known as "sorcery" in the New Testament), didn't expose their children, but remained faithful and married to their spouses, provided for the poor, and went to their early martyred deaths for their religion with a smile and a song to their God. The ancient world was so fascinated by this new religion that in a very short order (about six centuries) most of the known world had become Catholic.1 answer
