Christianity [Theme] Page 20

You can be a good Christian and still be far from thinking to put yourself in the place of Christ, to love like him, of all people. It doesn't have a weak mortal to demand from myself greatness of soul and strength of the Savior's love.

Religion is only words, and Christianity - thing.

I don't understand why Christians need God. After receiving it, they don't know what to do with it.

Christianity can be compared with hall out of which doors open into several rooms. The hall is a place of waiting, from which you can go to a particular door; it forward, and not live. But I am sure that God does not delay in the room longer than to the interests of this particular person.

As a Christian, I must not allow myself to cheat, but I have to be a fighter for truth and justice.

And asked of Lucifer His Son:
The Christ, the Son of God, suffered and died on the cross. Should will and I, Your Son, to suffer and die?
And Lucifer said to His Son:
Christ knew that he was the Son of God. So what if his feat? He was just playing. Death was his only game. He knew it was not forever, not seriously. He knew he'd be back.
Yes, he suffered and agonized on the cross, any suffering, any pain you can endure if you know it's just a game, sort of a test of fortitude.
What is flour? Thousands and thousands of people were crucified, thousands and thousands suffered and much more violent, sophisticated flour. Many have behaved thus decently. Even in the face of death. And real death, not a toy, not for fun.
So what? Who remembers them now? Who admire them? Where are they? Gone are the all-consuming abyss of time. Without a trace.
In other words, by themselves the pain and suffering still mean nothing and are worth nothing. You don't have to tolerate them.

A Christian man who sincerely loves all those who do not hate.

- We atheists passionately he continued, - we believe that people need to carry their burdens, however heavy it may be! If it falls, the worse for him. But Christian promises and cries out to his God, to his saints, and if they nepomozhet, even to enemies, just to find a back that can shoulder his burden.

Truthfulness is the greatest of the Christian virtues!

Hell, the only really significant Christian community in the Universe.

For a Russian who was brought up on Christianity, seasoned with Dostoevsky, to suffer - a favorite thing.

I find that in the phraseology and language of the Catholic Church too clearly present the idea of carrots and sticks: pray - will be rewarded with going to heaven; sin - go to hell!

Not a fool he who gives what is still not able to keep to gain eternal treasures.

Don't be souls of the dead, but alive. There is only one door to life, and that door is Jesus Christ.
