Sinfulness Quotes (page 22)

Martin Luther quote: "To be convinced in our hearts that we have forgiveness of sins..."
To be convinced in our hearts that we have forgiveness of sins and peace with God by grace alone is the hardest thing. Martin Luther
Where some one else's welfare is concerned, a young girl becomes as ingenious as a thief. Guileless where she herself is in question, and full of foresight for me,--she is like a heavenly angel forgiving the strange incomprehensible sins of earth. Honore de Balzac
No religion except ours has taught that man is born in sin; none of the philosophical sects has admitted it; none therefore has spoken the truth Blaise Pascal
Anne Perry quote: "People only tell lies when the truth is disagreeable to them,..."
People only tell lies when the truth is disagreeable to them, or frightens them, or to cover sin. Anne Perry
Yea, many there be that have run out of their wits for women, and become servants for their sakes. Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for wome? O ye men, how can it be but women should be strong, seeing they do thus??Esdras. Thomas Hardy
It would hardly be kindness if he didn't punish sin, not to use every means to put the evil thing far from us. Whatever may be meant by the place of misery Mr. Sutherland, it's only another form of his love. Love shining through the fogs of evil, and thus made to look very different. George MacDonald
All the seven deadly sins are peccadilloes but without three of them, Pride, Lust, and Sloth, poetry might never have been born. Vladimir Nabokov
Condemning others as bad or sinful is a way to feel righteous. Such a feeling is a powerful mood alteration and can become highly addictive. John Bradshaw
Victor Hugo quote: "To be a saint is the exception; to be a just person is the..."
To be a saint is the exception; to be a just person is the rule. Err, stumble, commit sin, but be one of the just. Victor Hugo
The Church of Rome ... has become the most lawless den of thieves, the most shameless of all brothels, the very kingdom of sin, death and hell; so that not even antichrist ,if he were to come, could devise any addition to its wickedness. Martin Luther
This is where we are at right now, as a whole. No one is left out of the loop. We are experiencing a reality based on a thin veneer of lies and illusions. A world where greed is our God and wisdom is sin, where division is key and unity is fantasy, where the ego-driven cleverness of the mind is praised, rather than the intelligence of the heart. Bill Hicks
Allowances can always be made for your friends to disagree with you. Disagreement, vehement disagreement, is healthy. Debate is impossible without it. Evil does not question itself, only hope questions itself. Even the incorruptible are corruptible if they cannot accept the possibility of being mistaken. Infallibility is a sin in any man. All laws can be broken and are. Often. Like when a bumblebee flies or an ancient regime is toppled. Craig Ferguson
Controversy and contention are weakening habits. If Satan can succeed in creating in us the pastime of arguing, quarreling, and contention, it is easier for him to bind us with heavier sins which can destroy our eternal lives. Anger is a poor substitute for self-mastery and compassionate service. Marvin J. Ashton
Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back--in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you. Frederick Buechner
John Steinbeck quote: "Tell 'em to God. Don' go burdenin' other people with your..."
Tell 'em to God. Don' go burdenin' other people with your sins. That ain't decent. John Steinbeck
