“Corruption, the most infallible symptom of constitutional liberty, was successfully practised; honours, gifts, and immunities were offered and accepted as the price of an episcopal vote; and the condemnation of the Alexandrian primate was artfully represented as the only measure which could restore the peace and union of the catholic church.” ChurchLibertyHistoryVoteCatholicUnionsCorruptionAcceptedHonourSymptomsCatholic ChurchCondemnationRoman EmpireInfallibleImmunityPrimates Book:The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Source: The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

“Grace is not against good works! It simply does not bless on the basis of good works. We receive blessing from God based solely on the merits of His Son--blessings freely given to us in Christ and nowhere else. The completeness that is in Christ mean deliverance from trying to 'be good' and 'do right' in order to be accepted by God.” LifeTryingMeanDoeReligionOrderEvilGivenChristFreedomSinLibertyGraceAcceptanceSonBlessingBasesBe GoodAcceptedMeritWorking ItBlessGood LifeGood WorkDeliveranceCompletenessGod Blessing Author:Richard Jordan
“Nobody can be saved from anything, unless they save themselves. It is hopeless doing things for people - it is often very dangerous to do things at all - and the only thing worth doing for the race is to increase its stock of ideas. Then, if you make available a larger stock, people are at liberty to help themselves from out of it. By this process the means of improvement is offered, to be accepted or rejected freely, and there is a faint hope of progress in the course of millennia. Such is the business of the philosopher, to open new ideas. It is not his business to impose them on people.” PeopleIfsMeanIdeasHelpingCoursesProcessRaceLibertyProgressDangerousIncreasePhilosopherAvailableAcceptedSavedImprovementHopelessNew IdeasRejected Author:T.
