Theological Quotes - Page 9

• True gospel authority, the authority to heal and renew things and people, is not finally found in a hierarchical office, a theological argument, a perfect law, or a rational explanation. The Crucified revealed to the world that the real power that changes people and the world is an inner authority that comes from people who have lost, let go, and are re-found on a new level.

• Christianity...made, for nearly 1,500 years, persecution, religious wars, massacres, theological feuds and bloodshed, heresy huntings and heretic burnings, prisons, dungeons, anathemas, curses, opposition to science, hatred of liberty, spiritual bondage, the life without love or laughter.

• Hay un gran error que ha cometido la izquierda al hablar con los religiosos: intentar convencerles de que no interpreten la Biblia, intentar mantener un debate teológico con ellos. Cuando estoy en la radio de los chiflados de derechas, cuando la gente me llama para decirme que voy a ir al infierno, les concedo la razón. "Voy a ir al infierno. Sí. ¿Pueden dejarme en paz?"

• Just as the commander of an army pitches his camp, studies the strength and defenses of a fortress, and then attacks it on its weakest side, in like manner, the enemy of our human nature studies from all sides our theological, cardinal, and moral virtues. Wherever he finds us weakest and most in need regarding our eternal salvation, he attacks and tries to take us by storm.

• People say human nature is a very vague expression, people tend to say human nature is corruptible anyway and it comes from a theological point of view, goes back to the Garden of Eden, that there is always this corrupt gene waiting to be activated that we inherited from the very beginning. I don't believe in that theological excuse.

• I am writing for the Christian agnostic, by which I mean a person who is immensely attracted to Christ and who seeks to show his spirit, to meet the challenges, hardships, and sorrows of life in the light of that spirit, but who, though he is sure of many Christian truths, feels that he cannot honestly and conscientiously 'sign on the dotted line' that he believes certain theological ideas about what some branches of the Church dogmatize.

• La Iglesia no es un aula de teología. Es un centro de conversión, confesión, arrepentimiento, reconciliación, perdón y santificación, donde personas defectuosas depositan su fe en Cristo, se reúnen para conocerle y amarle mejor, y aprenden a amar a los demás como Él diseñó.

• Creo apasionadamente que el cristianismo es una forma de vida, no un sistema teológico con el que hay que estar de acuerdo intelectualmente. Creo que Cristo admitiría como discípulo a cualquiera que sinceramente deseara seguirle, y permitiría que ese discípulo hiciera su credo a partir de su experiencia; que escuchara, considerara, orara, siguiera y, en última instancia, creyera sólo en aquellas convicciones de las que la experiencia de la comunión le hiciera estar seguro.

• It seems to me that when we listen to the Muslim mystics as they talk about Jesus and their love for Jesus, I must say, it’s a lot closer to New Testament Christianity than a lot of the Christians that I hear. In other words if we are looking for common ground, can we find it in mystical spirituality, even if we cannot theologically agree, Can we pray together in such a way that we connect with a God that transcends our theological differences?

• No creo que Dios sea un criticón quisquilloso en el tratamiento de las ideas teológicas. Aquel que proporciona el perdón para una vida pecadora seguramente también será un juez generoso de la reflexión teológica. Incluso un teólogo ortodoxo puede estar espiritualmente muerto, mientras que tal vez un hereje se arrastre por senderos prohibidos hacia las fuentes de la vida.

• I take comfort in knowing that it was the shepherds to whom the angels appeared when they announced Christ's birth. Invariably throughout the course of history, God has appeared to people on the fringes. It's nice to find theological justification for your quirks.

• People take it for granted that the physical world is both ordered and intelligible. The underlying order in nature - the laws of physics - are simply accepted as given, as brute facts. Nobody asks where they came from; at least not in polite company. However, even the most atheistic scientist accepts as an act of faith that the universe is not absurd, that there is a rational basis to physical existence manifested as law-like order in nature that is at least partly comprehensible to us. So science can proceed only if the scientist adopts an essentially theological worldview.

• In those days I had various strong inclinations, for wine, gambling and cockfighting, and the society of gypsies, together with a passion for theological discussion which I had inherited from my father himself-all of which my father thought I had better rid myself of before I married.

• For Christians, the first priority may be theological self-understanding. For Jews it is, and after Auschwitz must be, simple safety for their children. In pursuit of this goal, Jews seek - are morally required to seek - independence of other people's charity. They therefore seek safety - are morally required to seek it - through the existence of a Jewish state. Except among the theologically or humanly perverse, Zionism - the commitment to the safety and genuine sovereignty of the State of Israel - is not negotiable.
