Christianity Quotes (page 38)

Women are strange little beasts,' he said to Dr. Coutras. 'You can treat them like dogs, you can beat them till your arm aches, and still they love you.' He shrugged his shoulders. 'Of course, it is one of the most absurd illusions of Christianity that they have souls. W. Somerset Maugham
Dwight L. Moody quote: "Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will..."
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian. Dwight L. Moody
As Christians, we must see that just because an artist -even a great artist- portrays a worldview in writing or on canvas, it does not mean that we should automatically accept that worldview. Good art heightens the impact of that worldview, but it does not make it true. Francis Schaeffer
This is the historical reality of the soul, which, unlike the soul represented by Christian theology, is not born in sin and subject to punishment, but is born rather out of methods of punishment, supervision, and constraint. Michel Foucault
Of course, I quiet agree that the Christian religion is, in the long run, a thing of unspeakable discomfort. But it does not begin in comfort; it begins in the dismay and it is no use at all trying to go on to that comfort without first going through that dismay. In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is one thing you cannot get looking for it. If you look for the truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth-only soft... C. S. Lewis
The astonishing paradox of Christ's teaching and of Christian experience is this: if we lose ourselves in following Christ, we actually find ourselves. True self-denial is self-discovery. To live for ourselves is insanity and suicide; to live for God and for man is wisdom and life indeed. We do not begin to find ourselves until we have become willing to lose ourselves in the service of Christ and of our fellows. John Stott
The Christian gospel is a summons to peace, calling for justice beyond anger, mercy beyond justice, forgiveness beyond mercy, love beyond forgiveness. Wendell Berry
What you have to understand, is your father was your model for God. If you're male and you're Christian and living in America, your father is your model for God. And if you never know your father, if your father bails out or dies or is never at home, what do you believe about God? What you end up doing is you spend your life searching for a father and God. What you have to consider is the possibility that God doesn't like you. Could be, God hates us. This is not the worst thing that can... Chuck Palahniuk
I have never thought that a Christian would be free of suffering, umfundisi. For our Lord suffered. And I come to believe that he suffered, not to save us from suffering, but to teach us how to bear suffering. For he knew that there is no life without suffering. Alan Paton
Alice Cooper quote: "Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But..."
Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that's a tough call. That's rebellion Alice Cooper
W. Somerset Maugham quote: "No egoism is so insufferable as the Christian with regard to..."
No egoism is so insufferable as the Christian with regard to his soul. W. Somerset Maugham
Matter is energy. In the universe, there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio, as orthodox Christianity teaches. It has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved, owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia. Graham Chapman
Henri Nouwen quote: "Prayer is the center of the Christian life. It is the only..."
Prayer is the center of the Christian life. It is the only necessary thing. It is living with God in the here and now. Henri Nouwen
I believe that men are generally still a little afraid of the dark though the witches are all hung, and Christianity and candles have been introduced. Anais Nin
Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. It undergoes continual changes; it is barbarous, it is civilized, it is christianized, it is rich, it is scientific; but this change is not amelioration. For every thing that is given, something is taken. Ralph Waldo Emerson
