Once people get hung up on theology, they've lost sanity forever. More people have been killed in the name of Jesus Christ than any other name in the history of the world.
Foreseeing the needs of His children, a loving Heavenly Father placed directions and rescuers along their way. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to make safe passage possible and visible.
It is refreshing, and salutary, to study the poise and quietness of Christ. His task and responsibility might well have driven a man out of his mind. But He was never in a hurry, never impressed by numbers, never a slave of the clock.
Jesus Christ is indeed risen. He is alive and well my friends. He rose from the grave. He is fully and completely resurrected. Just as the scriptures say. Just as so many testified. And just as all the evidence points to.
I have taken all my good deeds and all my bad deeds, and cast them … in a heap before the Lord, and fled from both, and betaken myself to the Lord Jesus Christ, and in him I have sweet peace!
It’s perfectly understandable, in my opinion, to find good things in the teachings of Jesus Christ or any other figure, mythical or otherwise. But to base your life on the teachings of Jesus as they are portrayed in the Bible and claim that you are...
Anything that dims my vision of Christ, or takes away my taste for Bible study, or cramps my prayer life, or makes Christian work difficult, is wrong for me, and I must, as a Christian, turn away from it.
I believe that every person's individual testimony of Jesus as the Christ comes as a spiritual gift. No one can successfully dispute or challenge it because it is so personal a gift to the one to whom it has been given.
You try to get the feel of any role, but it's much more difficult in the case of Christ because everyone has their own personal image of Him. It's a role you take on, knowing that no matter how you play it, you are going to disappoint many.
What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.
Jesus: You think God belongs only to you? He doesn't. God is an immortal spirit who belongs to everybody, to the whole world. You think you're special? God is not an Israelite.
Jesus: If I was a woodcutter, I'd cut. If I was a fire, I'd burn. But I'm a heart and I love. That's the only thing I can do.
Jesus: Do you think that God belongs only to you? He doesn't: God's an immortal spirit who belongs to everybody! To the whole world! You think, you are special? God is not an Israelite!
The Lion: I feel sorry for you. You were lonely. You cried, so I came. Jesus: [wary] I didn't call for you. Who are you? The Lion: Your spirit.
Saul: [to Jesus in the World without the Crucifixion] You know, I'm glad I've met you. Because now I can forget all about you.
Jesus: Why has it changed so much? Girl Angel/Satan: It hasn't changed. You have. Now you can see its real beauty.
Walt Bishop: Holy Christ, what am I looking at here? Laura Bishop: He does watercolors. Mostly landscapes but a few nudes. Walt Bishop: Did she sit for this?
Choi: Hallelujah. You're my savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ. Neo: If you get caught using that... Choi: I know. This never happened. You don't exist. Neo: Right.
Photographer: Run out of film? Keith Jennings: Saving it for his canonization. Photographer: How's that? Keith Jennings: I don't know if we've got the heir to the Thorn millions here or Jesus Christ Himself.
Captain Hadley: What the Christ is this happy horseshit? Prisoner: Hey, he took the Lord's name in vain! I'm tellin' the warden! Captain Hadley: You'll be tellin' the warden about my baton up your ass!
Fatty Rossiter: It was already loaded. Jesus, Clyde, you have three pistols and you only have one arm for Christ's sake. Clyde: Well I just don't want to be killed for lack of shootin' back.
