Quotes About God

I know that the Reformers spoke of the sacraments as "visible words," but this was an unfortunate choice of words. The Lord's Supper is not a visible word but an edible one. Baptism is not a visible word but a tangible one. The only "visible words" are human beings, the images of God made after the likeness of the Word of God Himself. In other words, the only thing to look at in worship is other people.

The Christian is never to be motivated by a sense of his own honor, but rather by the honor of Christ. If pride was Satan's original sin, humility and patient faith are the Christian's primary duty. The Christian casts his own honor in the dust so that God may be honored, knowing that God and God alone can give him true honor. The Christian, thus, lives by obedience and submission, not by pride and honor and nobility.

So here is the paradox, freedom is dependence upon God. It is a paradox, but it is absolutely clear. The human being – the concrete human person, me, you – once we were not, now we are, and tomorrow will no longer be: thus we depend. And either we depend upon the flux of our material antecedents, and are consequently slaves of the powers that be, or we depend upon What lies at the origin of the movement of all things, beyond them, which is to say, God.

Indeed, as we have seen, God is the most immediate implication of self-consciousness.

Who was she to say that God did not use the coyote's teeth to chew His gifts?

loud. It was as if God's violence had come upon them in deepest rage, dropping temples and crushing idols to the ground.

Without the desire for God, our planet would be a sorry wasteland of ugliness.

In the end, belief and the lack of it amount to the same thing. If someone were to prove to me—right this minute—that God, in all his luminousness, exists, it wouldn't change a single aspect of my behavior.

God and Country are an unbeatable team; they break all records for oppression and bloodshed.

I'm still an atheist, thank God.

God is not disillusioned with us. He never had any illusions to begin with.

With determination and dice, I am God.

All belief is the least reliable form of knowing...Where there is a natural knowing of God, there is not need for belief. The highest form of certainty is something you know so thoroughly and so naturally that it's impossible to put into words.

We all have the right of freedom of speech under the First Amendment. We all don't have to agree with one another on our opinions. Everyone in my circle, that I run around with, we all feel the same about God, country, integrity and character.

I rely on guns for protection in life. God does not say, 'This is la-la land.' God doesn't say, 'Welcome to Earth. Everything's perfect. There's no crime. There's no murder. There's no death.' The world is imperfect, and you have to be on guard.

For if there is an actual and present rule of God in the world, then it must be found, not in the conquest of visible enemies, but in the triumph of love and life, however halting and partial, over sin and death. And this is the work of the Spirit. And it is the calling of the Church.

If we are called to attention by God's Life and Holy Spirit, then the 'spiritual life' is not a pleasant option we might like to pursue when we have space and time; it is that which is now creating its own space and time within us, and to neglect it is to lose ourselves.

There is a point at which fear must face the God you know. At this point, you decide whether you wish to continue repeating this false narrative in your head and remain stagnant or move head and actually live your life

We must return to nature and nature's god.

Science, which is only another name for truth, now holds religious charlatans, self-deceivers and God agents in a certain degree of check--agents and employees, I mean, of a mythical, medieval, man-made God, anthropomorphic in constitution.

As a scientist, I can not help feeling that all religions are on a tottering foundation. None is perfect or inspired. The idea that a good God would send people to a burning hell is utterly damnable to me. I don't want to have anything to do with such a God.
