“If the distinction provided by Jesus' words: Give unto god, what is god's, and unto Caesar what is Caesar's! is carried through, then other necessary intrusions by the national state into the domain of church creeds can be completely avoided.” IfsGivingStatesJesusChurchDistinctionCreedsDomainAvoidedIntrusionJesus Words Author:Alfred Rosenberg
“Manly natural religion - it is not joining the Church; it is not to believe in a creed, Hebrew, Protestant, Catholic, Trinitarian, Unitarian, Nothingarian. It is not to keep Sunday idle; to attend meetings; to be wet with water; to read the Bible; to offer prayers in words; to take bread and wine in the meeting house; love a scape-goat Jesus, or any other theological clap-trap.” BelieveHouseJesusWaterNaturalChurchPrayerAtheismOffersCatholicWineMeetingsPositive AtheismBreadSundayWetCreedsTrapsIdleJoiningTheologicalProtestantsGoatsManlyHebrewUnitarianBread And WineScapes Author:Theodore Parker
“That utterance of Jesus, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's," is one of the most revolutionary and history-making utterances that ever fell from those lips divine. That utterance, once and for all, marked the divorcement of church and state. It marked a new era for the creeds and deeds of men.” MenStatesJesusChurchAtheismDivineLipsDeedsErasRevolutionaryCreedsChurch And StateUtteranceNew EraHistory Making Author:George W Truett

“People are always talking about the first church. The real first church was that gaggle of people who followed Jesus around. We don't know anything about them. But he apparently didn't ask them what creed they subscribed to, or what their sexual preference was, or any of that. He fed them. He healed them. He forgave them. He is clear about sin, but he was also for forgiveness.” PeopleKnowsFirstsRealAsksJesusChurchSinTalkingClearFedsCreedsPreferenceHealed Author:Wendell Berry

“Let us meditate until we perceive the Infinite Christ reigning in our own hearts. Let us learn to love those who love us not; and to forgive those who do ill against us. Let us break all our mental boundaries of color, creed, and nationality, and receive all - even our inanimate and animal brothers - in the endless, all embracing arms of our Christ Consciousness. This will be a true and fitting celebration of the coming of Jesus Christ to this earth.” HeartEarthJesusChristAnimalConsciousnessBreakColorBrotherArmsJesus ChristInfiniteForgivingIllBoundariesEndlessPerceiveCelebrationCreedsNationalityFittingChrist Consciousness Author:Paramahansa Yogananda
