Christ was crucified once, but his teachings suffer crucifixion every day at the hands of men of limited vision. Christ’s teachings cannot be understood just by reading the Bible…but by living and trying out in everyday life the principles taught in the book.
God’s purpose in creating the universe was to feel happiness when He saw the purpose of goodness fulfilled in the Heavenly Kingdom, which the whole of Creation, including man, could have established.
Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.
-Thomas Paine
Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
A virtuous person fears God without being afraid of him.
-Immanuel Kant
Only by doing good can one benefit. Those who detach themselves from ‘bad’ and yearn for ‘good’, dedicate their lives to God…and to service of scholars shall be blessed.
Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name.
If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.
What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.
-Albert Einstein
