Theologian Quotes (page 2)

Creation is thus God's presence in creatures. The Greek Orthodox theologian Philip Sherrard has written that "Creation is nothing less than the manifestation of God's hidden Being." This means that we and all other creatures live by a sanctity that is inexpressibly intimate, for to every creature, the gift of life is a portion of the breath and spirit of God. (pg. 308, Christianity and the Survival of Creation) Wendell Berry
Emile M. Cioran quote: "The poor maidservant who used to say that she only believed in..."
The poor maidservant who used to say that she only believed in God when she had a toothache puts all theologians to shame. Emile M. Cioran
In moments they would be here? the ones Kircher had called the Cenobites, theologians of the Order of the Gash. Summoned from their experiments in the higher reaches of pleasure, to bring their ageless heads into a world of rain and failure. Clive Barker
God will not hold us responsible to understand the mysteries of election, predestination, and the divine sovereignty. The best and safest way to deal with these truths is to raise our eyes to God and in deepest reverence say, "0 Lord, Thou knowest." Those things belong to the deep and mysterious Profound of God's omniscience. Prying into them may make theologians, but it will never make saints. Aiden Wilson Tozer
Robertson Davies quote: "Any theologian understands martyrdom, but only the martyr..."
Any theologian understands martyrdom, but only the martyr experiences the fire. Robertson Davies
Stop your complaining, stop your doctoring; this tumult has arisen and is direct from above, and it will not cease till it makes all the adversaries of the Word like the mud on the streets. But it is sad to have to remind a theologian like you of these things, as if you were a pupil instead of one who ought to be teaching others. Martin Luther
If the physicists seem to achieve their ends more successfully than the theologians, that is simply a reflection of how much easier science is than theology. John Polkinghorne
Constance Baker Motley quote: "King thought he understood the white Southerner, having been..."
King thought he understood the white Southerner, having been born and reared in Georgia and trained a theologian. Constance Baker Motley
Johann Most quote: "As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument..."
As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument that assumes its own conclusions, and proves nothing. Johann Most
Nicholas Mosley quote: "It connects with the theologians' point that you can say what..."
It connects with the theologians' point that you can say what God is not, but not (easily) what He is. Nicholas Mosley
H. L. Mencken quote: "For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable..."
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing. H. L. Mencken
The theologians have recognized that the ideal is the imitation of God. If we be a part of such an organic thing, this thing is God to us, as I am God to the cells that compose me. Charles Fort
It's the generally accepted privilege of theologians to stretch the heavens, that is the Scriptures, like tanners with a hide. Desiderius Erasmus
Only a very bad theologian would confuse the certainty that follows revelation with the truths that are revealed. They are entirely different things. Denis Diderot
There isn't a theologian in the world who can argue with me on this. God has no gender. If that's the case, then everything needs to be rewritten now, right now. Susan Powter
