The imaginations of believers have dressed up and exaggerated the excellence of the style and matter of the New Testament generally, in the same manner, in which they have the moral instructions of Jesus.
When we see death, we see disaster. When Jesus sees death, he sees deliverance!
If you want to understand Jesus, you have to study the whole Bible. Christian duty is not defined solely by the words in red.
But dogs, which have no ability to sin nor moral conscience, do not have an ability to reject Jesus.
You can walk in the Light or you can grope around in the dark because there is no walking with Jesus by candle light". ~ R. Alan Woods [2012]
Basically, I wear sandals, like Jesus. When it gets cold in Chicago, the snow way up to my knees, I still wear my sandals. But that's me.
Someday I suspect, when Jesus has definitely got me for a sunbeam, my works may be adequately assessed.
Pluralism is denied logically; inclusivism is denied scripturally, and that leaves us with exclusivism... you have to know that Jesus died and believe in it in order to be saved.
You see Jesus wrecked my life
Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.
Jesus is the only way because the Bible says it to be true. Why? Because only He can bridge the gap between God and man; there's no other way.
People have been frying foods since Jesus was on this planet, and there is always going to be greasy, fried, salty, sugary food. It is up to the individual to walk in and say, 'I don't want those fries today.'
Jesus' own witness of sacrificial love and forgiveness, and his work to heal the sick and care for those in need, represent God's ways and vision for us.
In the Bible it says they asked Jesus how many times you should forgive, and he said 70 times 7. Well, I want you all to know that I'm keeping a chart.
If you don't believe God has forgiven you, you are actually saying that God needs to do more for your forgiveness, and that Jesus' sacrifice was not enough.
I've been thinking about Jesus. Don't you find it a bit strange that, since He was living with His family and all, He up and left them just when they needed him most?
Some say that Jesus is the rock, or the anchor. I say that your friends and family are your anchor. And you can really hold their hands, not just sing about it. No disrespect to George Jones.
None speak of the bravery, the might, or the intellect of Jesus; but the devil is always imagined as a being of acute intellect, political cunning, and the fiercest courage. These universal and instinctive tendencies of the human mind reveal much.
Sometimes there are things worth risking your life for. It was Jesus who said if you want to save your life, you have to lose it.
Jesus was a human being, bound by history and the natural world; an extraordinary man, to be sure, but still a man.
Indeed, one of the most successful and influential religious organizations in history, the Society of Jesus, was consciously modeled along military lines by its founder, Ignatius Loyola.
