Christianity Quotes

Mother Theresa

Do you wish to find out the really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.

Napoleon Bonaparte

One of the questions asked by al-Balkhi, and often repeated to this day, is this: Why do the children of Israel continue to suffer? My grandmother Dodo thought it was because the were jealous. The seder for Passover (which is a shame-faced simulacrum of a Hellenic question-and-answer session, even including the wine) tells the children that it's one of those things that happens to every Jewish generation. After the or or Holocaust, many rabbis tried to tell the survivors that the immolation had been a punishment for 'exile,' or for insufficient attention to the Covenant. This explanation was something of a flop with those whose parents or children had been the raw material for the 'proof,' so for a time the professional interpreters of god's will went decently quiet. This interval of ambivalence lasted until the war of 1967, when it was announced that the divine purpose could be discerned after all. How wrong, how foolish, to have announced its discovery prematurely! The exile and the Shoah could now both be understood, as part of a heavenly if somewhat roundabout scheme to recover the Western Wall in Jerusalem and other pieces of biblically mandated real estate.I regard it as a matter of self-respect to spit in public on rationalizations of this kind. (They are almost as repellent, in their combination of arrogance, masochism, and affected false modesty, as Edith Stein's 'offer' of her life to expiate the regrettable unbelief in Jesus of her former fellow Jews.) The sage Jews are those who have put religion behind them and become in so many societies the leaven of the secular and the atheist.

Christopher Hitchens

The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.

Johann von Goethe

It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

C.S. Lewis

Be a sinner and sin?? boldly,? but believe and?? rejoice in Christ even more boldly.

Martin Luther King Jr.

There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.

Dwight L. Moody

Never think that Jesus commanded a trifle, nor dare to trifle with anything He has commanded.

Dwight L. Moody

I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man.

Dwight L. Moody

Christianity is the story of how the rightful King has landed, you might say in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in His great campaign of sabotage

C.S. Lewis

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.

Ronald Reagan

Christianity is either relevant all the time or useless anytime. It is not just a phase of life; it is life itself.

Richard Halverson

Jesus Christ is God's everything for man's total need.

Richard Halverson

If I convert it's because it's better that a believer dies than that an atheist does.

Christopher Hitchens

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

C.S. Lewis

Assuming that he believes at all, the everyday Christian is a pitiful figure, a man who really cannot count up to three, and who besides, precisely because of his mental incompetence, would not deserve such a punishment as Christianity promises him

Friedrich Nietzsche

The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.

C.S. Lewis

I am philosophical Christ; crucified on the cross of ignorance for the sake of divine vanity.

Kedar Joshi

I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience; nor can I possibly, nor will I even make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience! Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God! Amen.

Martin Luther King Jr.

If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.

C. T. Studd
