“From Obama's book, "The Audacity of Hope:" "I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex - nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount."” PeopleBookMatterStatesReadingSexLinesAcceptingChristianityRightsWillingCitizensUnionsIslamDenyHospitalsObscureSermonsHusseinDefiningCoverageAmerican CitizensMind BlowingAudacityChristianity And IslamVisitationSermon On The MountChristian HopeAudacity Of HopeHealth Insurance Coverage Author:Barack Obama

“Christians should not be hostile, they should not hate, they should not judge, and they should not condemn. But they also must not shy away from real Truth and real Christianity. Just because so many have “itching ears” and “will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions” does not mean Christians should be willing to scratch that itch.” ShouldMeanDoeRealChristianHatePassionChristianityTeacherWillingJudgingEarsSuitsShyHostileScratchesReal TruthItchingReal Christianity Author:Erick Erickson
“To defend something is always to discredit it. Let a man have a warehouse full of gold, let him be willing to give away a ducat to every one of the poor - but let him also be stupid enough to begin this charitable undertaking of his with a defense in which he offers three good reasons in justification; and it will almost come to the point of people finding it doubtful whether indeed he is doing something good. But now for Christianity. Yes, the person who defends that has never believed in it.” PeopleMenGivingPersonsReasonEnoughThreePoorChristianityStupidWillingOffersFindingsGoldDefenseJustificationUndertakingsDoubtfulCharitableDiscreditWarehouse Author:Soren Kierkegaard
“We have accounts of the deification of men in pagan mythology. But I do not remember any account of a god becoming a man, to help man. Whoever heard of Jupiter or Mars or Minerva coming down and attempting to bear the burdens of men? The gods were willing enough to receive the gifts of men, but Christianity is unique in the fact that our God became a man with human infirmity and emptied Himself of the glory of heaven, in order that He might take upon Himself the sins, diseases and weakness of our humanity.” MenHumansEnoughFactsHelpingMightRememberHumanityOrderHeavenSinChristianityHeardWillingBearsBecomingDiseaseUniqueGloryWeaknessAccountsDown AndBurdenMythologyMarsAttemptingPaganInfirmityJupiterMinervaBecoming A Man Author:A.

“Judaism, Christianity, Islam, all of these are branches, the root is love and that's where I went. I went straight to the root, I forgot the branches and I went straight to the root so that is how I see it, that is after I said of research and study and going through different phases of mental evolution, mental and consciousness evolution, not just believing in a book, believing in a certain idea, being willing to think for yourself and formulate your own ideas.” ThinkingBelieveSaidBookIdeasDifferentCertainConsciousnessChristianityStudyWillingEvolutionResearchRootsIslamBranchesPhasesJudaismThink For Yourself Author:Ziggy Marley
