“The people who hanged Christ never, to do them justice, accused Him of being a bore - on the contrary; they thought Him too dynamic to be safe. It has been left for later generations to muffle up that shattering personality and surround Him with an atmosphere of tedium.” PeopleHas BeensJesusLeftChristJusticeGenerationsPersonalitySafeJesus ChristContraryAtmosphereSurroundBoresAccusedShatteringTediumDynamic Personality Author:Dorothy L.

“Paul followed Jesus by living as He lived. And how did he do that? Through activities and ways of living that would train his whole personality to depend upon the risen Christ as Christ trained Himself to depend upon the Father.” WayWholeFatherJesusChristPersonalityDependsActivityTrainRisen Author:Dallas Willard
“So what Jesus taught must be understood from the deepest level and that is one of the best sayings to show that he was talking in that way. In the book Revelations from Christ, I found out something that Yogananda said. That Jesus had said son of men and son of God, and people often misunderstand so sometimes the translations themselves are wrong for that reason. So when he said son of man he meant his human body and personality. When he said son of God, he meant the infinite Christ consciousness with which he'd obtained oneness.” PeopleMenWayHumansSaidBookSometimesReasonShowsBodyFoundJesusChristLevelsConsciousnessTalkingTaughtSonPersonalityUnderstoodInfiniteOnenessRevelationsHuman BodyTranslationsChrist Consciousness Author:Goswami Kriyananda
“The fake healers make you dependent. They aggrandize their personality cult and finances. They increase their stature with titles like Doctor, Bishop, Apostle, Prophet. This increases their authority to manipulate. Watch out for those who put themselves above you. The real ones point to Christ in you. You can pray just like anyone else. The gifts of the Spirit belong to the Holy Spirit. You have this inside you by faith and can be a conduit.” RealSpiritChristPersonalityPrayingHolyAuthorityFinanceFakeHoly SpiritProphetCultManipulateHealer Author:Richard Rossi
“The Catholic novelist in the South will see many distorted images of Christ, but he will certainly feel that a distorted image of Christ is better than no image at all. I think he will feel a good deal more kinship with backwoods prophets and shouting fundamentalists than he will with those politer elements for whom the supernatural is an embarrassment and for whom religion has become a department of sociology or culture or personality development.” ThinkingFeelsCultureChristDealsPersonalityDevelopmentElementsCatholicSouthNovelistsProphetDepartmentSociologyEmbarrassmentShoutingKinshipBackwoods Author:Flannery O'Connor
“The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become - because He made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. . .It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.” PeopleGivingFirstsMadeDifferentRealReligionTurnsChristMy OwnPersonalityGiving UpNew BeginningsDifferent Peoples Author:C.
