“We can understand that the Fathers of the Church in the East wanted Apocalypse left out of the New Testament. But like Judas among the disciples, it was inevitable that it should be included. The Apocalypse is the feet of clay to the grand Christian image. And down crashes the image, on the weakness of these very feet. There is Jesus--but there is also John the Divine. There is Christian love--and there is Christian envy. The former would "save" the world--the latter will never be satisfied till it has destroyed the world. They are two sides of the same medal.” WorldShouldTwoWantedChristianFatherJesusLeftSidesChurchFeetDivineWeaknessEnvyEastSatisfiedDestroyedFormerInevitableLatterCrashDiscipleTestamentApocalypseClayMedalNew TestamentTwo SidesSave The WorldLeft OutChristian LoveJudas Book:Apocalypse Source: Apocalypse
“When Christ was about to leave the world, He made His will. His soul He committed to His father; His body He bequeathed to Joseph to be decently interred; His clothes fell to the soldiers; His mother He left to the care of John; but what should He leave to His poor disciples that had left all for Him? Silver and gold He had none; but He left them that which was infinitely better, His peace.” WorldShouldMadeSoulBodyCareMotherFatherLeftPeaceChristPoorClothesGoldSoldierCommittedSilverDisciple Book:Bible commentary - Gospel of John Source: Bible commentary - Gospel of John
“Women are different from men in major, major ways. I have found more courage in women than you could ever find in men, and I love men, in terms of father, brother, everyone, disciples, students etc. Yet men have certain powers of compassion that are hard-pressed to be found in a woman to that degree.” MenWayDifferentHardCertainFoundFatherTermCompassionStudentsBrotherDegreesMajorsEtcDisciple Author:Maya Tiwari
