Quote by Theodore L. Cuyler

The Christian who will sit with sealed lips when his Master is assailed, when religion is attacked, when wickedness is broached and defended, when truth is denounced, is a denier of his Lord, as guilty as Simon Peter in Pilate's hall.

The Christian who will sit with sealed lips when his Master

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of defending one's beliefs and religion. Remaining silent in the face of attacks on faith, the truth, or virtuous principles is viewed as a denial of one's spiritual allegiance. It draws a parallel with Simon Peter, who betrayed Jesus by denying his association in a moment of fear. Thus, it implies that Christians have a duty to speak up and defend their faith, even when it may be challenging or unpopular to do so.

Who has fought for freedom and obtained it -- atheists or Christians?
