“Faith that trusts on Jesus alone for salvation, and not on your respectable life, and the obedience that follows Him, are the indispensable steps to salvation. You admit that you have not taken these decisive steps. Then, however near you are, you are not in Christ.” JesusChristStepsTakenSalvationObedienceIndispensableRespectable Author:Theodore L. Cuyler
“To me, the Craft is what Christianity was 2,000 years ago. It was a religion that was not corrupted. I personally think Jesus was a Crafter. We believe in all the things that he spoke of. The early Christians believed in reincarnation, and that was later removed from the belief system. Early Christians had a female Divinity, and that was taken out of their belief system, or as with Catholicism, replaced with Mary. Look at how incredible the growth in devotion of Mary is. It's amazing. The desire for a female Divinity is not just Wiccan. It speaks of a global need.” ThinkingNeedsYearsBelieveLooksChristianDesireJesusBeliefSpeakGrowthChristianityTakenFemaleYears AgoIncrediblesDevotionCraftsDivinitySpokesCatholicismMaryReincarnationReplacedBelief SystemsWiccanCrafters Author:Silver RavenWolf

“If Jesus ever commanded us to do something that He was unable to equip us to accomplish, He would be a liar.

“In broad outline and in detail, the life of Jesus as portrayed in the gospels corresponds to the worldwide Mythic Hero Archetype in which a divine hero's birth is supernaturally predicted and conceived, the infant hero escapes attempts to kill him, demonstrates his precocious wisdom already as a child, receives a divine commission, defeats demons, wins acclaim, is hailed as king, then betrayed, losing popular favor, executed, often on a hilltop, and is vindicated and taken up to heaven.” ChildrenJesusWinningHeavenTakenAtheismDivineBirthKingsHeroLosingDefeatDetailsPositive AtheismFavorsDemonBroadsBetrayedInfantOutlinesArchetypeAcclaimPrecociousVindicated Author:Robert M.

“It is evident, indeed, that such a doctrine, taken by itself in a literal manner, had no future. The world, in continuing to exist, caused it to crumble. One generation of man at the most was the limit of its endurance. The faith of the first Christian generation is intelligible, but the faith of the second generation is no longer so. After the death of John, or of the last survivor, whoever he might be, of the group which had seen the master, the word of Jesus was convicted of falsehood.” MenWorldFirstsMightChristianLastsJesusTakenGenerationsGroupsAtheismMastersLimitsPositive AtheismDoctrineEnduranceSurvivorFalsehoodContinuingEvidentLiteral Book:The Life of Jesus: Works of Renan Source: The Life of Jesus: Works of Renan

“When I contrast the loving Jesus, comprehending all things in his ample and tender charity, with those who profess to bear his name, marking their zeal by what they do not love, it seems to me as though men, like the witches of old, had read the Bible backward, and had taken incantations out of it for evil, rather than inspiration for good.” MenInspirationSeemsEvilJesusNamesTakenBearsAll ThingsCharityWitchContrastZealComprehendingLoving Jesus Author:Edwin Hubbel Chapin
