Persecuted Quotes - Page 5

• Es divertido oír al cristiano moderno decir lo suave y racionalista que es realmente el cristianismo e ignorar el hecho de que toda su suavidad y racionalismo se deben a la enseñanza de hombres que en su propio tiempo fueron perseguidos por todos los cristianos ortodoxos.

• Pero, ¿no podría compararse nuestra situación con la de una epidemia amenazadora? La gente es incapaz de ver esta situación en su verdadera luz, porque sus ojos están cegados por la pasión. El miedo y la ansiedad generalizados crean odio y agresividad. La adaptación a objetivos y actividades bélicos ha corrompido la mentalidad del hombre; como resultado, el pensamiento inteligente, objetivo y humano apenas tiene efecto e incluso es sospechoso y perseguido como antipatriótico.

• Medidos por los estándares de los hombres de su tiempo, [los peregrinos] eran los humildes de la tierra. Medidos por los logros posteriores, eran los poderosos. En apariencia débiles y perseguidos llegaron -- rechazados, despreciados -- una banda insignificante; en realidad fuertes e independientes, una hueste poderosa de la que el mundo no era digno destinada a liberar a la humanidad.

• En muchas ocasiones me han preguntado si creo que la Iglesia occidental sufrirá persecuciones. Mi respuesta podría sorprenderle. Creo que si te encuentras esclavizado dentro de una estructura eclesiástica controladora de legalismo y esclavitud, ¡entonces ya estás siendo perseguido! Muchos cristianos parecen imposiblemente distraídos de escuchar la voz de Dios. En lugar de escuchar esa voz quieta y pequeña que trae verdadera paz y alegría, siguen ciegamente las voces de la religión dominante. La peor clase de persecución para un cristiano es cuando se le separa de la alegría y la presencia del Espíritu Santo.

• Between being praised and persecuted condoned and condemned I might understandably have become bewildered particularly at the brand of ethics sometimes displayed by the staunch defenders of Christianity. But of one thing I am sure: I am sure that I fought not only for what I earnestly believed to be right but for the truest kind of religious freedom intended by the First Amendment the complete separation of church and state.

• Must the Christian go around looking for a cross to bear, seeking to suffer? No, insisted Bonhoeffer. Opportunities for bearing crosses will occur along life's way and all that is required is the willingness to act when the time comes. The needs of the neighbor, especially those of the weak and downtrodden, the victimized and the persecuted, the ill and the lonely, will become abundantly evident.

• [Si un libro fuera] muy inocente, y uno que pudiera confiarse a la razón de cualquier hombre; no es probable que se lea mucho si se deja solo, pero si se persigue, se leerá generalmente. Todo hombre en los Estados Unidos pensará que es un deber comprar una copia, en reivindicación de su derecho a comprar y leer lo que le plazca.

• In the life of the human spirit, words are action, much more so than many of us realize who live in countries where freedom of expression is taken for granted. The leaders of totalitarian nations understand this very well. The proof is that words are precisely the action for which dissidents in those countries are being persecuted.

• Aunque honramos la religión y creemos que es un poderoso factor de elevación de nuestra raza, distinguimos, como esperamos que hagan también nuestros lectores, entre ella y el dogmatismo. El dogmatismo ha sido la perdición de la civilización y una maldición para la humanidad. Ha degradado a nuestro sexo, ha sofocado la investigación inteligente y ha perseguido a todo reformador independiente y a toda causa noble.

• For many people, I've ceased to be a human being. I've become an issue, a bother, an "affair".... And has it really been so long since religions persecuted people, burning them as heretics, drowning them as witches, that you can't recognize religious persecution when you see it?

• Jesus Christ who was of the race of David, who was the Son of Mary, who was truly born and ate and drank, was truly persecuted under Pontius Pilate, was truly crucified and died in the sight of those in heaven and on earth and those under the earth; who moreover was truly raised from the dead, His Father having raised Him, who in the like fashion will so raise us also who believe on Him.

• Totalitarianism is neither left nor right, and within its empire both will perish. I was never a believer, but after seeing Czech Catholics persecuted during the Stalinist terror, I felt the deepest solidarity with them. What separated us, the belief in God, was secondary to what united us. In Prague, they hanged the Socialists and the priests. Thus a fraternity of the hanged was born.

• Adorn yourself with truth, try to speak truth in all things; and do not support a lie, no matter who asks you. If you speak the truth and someone gets mad at you, don't be upset, but take comfort in the words of the Lord: Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of truth, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 5:10).
