Quotes


The hypothesis that the apostles were knaves is quite absurd. Follow it out to the end and imagine these twelve men meeting after Jesus's death and conspiring to say that he had risen from the dead. This means attacking all the powers that be. The human heart is singularly susceptible to fickleness, to change, to promises, to bribery. One of them had only to deny his story under these inducements, or still more because of possible imprisonment, torture and death, and they would all have been lost. -- Pascal, Pensees

The purpose of creation was to have humans to fellowship with God and with one another. It did not happen. God kept sending his prophets and gave commandments. The prophets also introduced laws. All but to no avail. And, God sent his only son. Jesus summarized the purpose of creation in two laws or the commandments. If humans love one another, there won't be killings, adultery, etc. (second law covers all of these things).

There is a theme in the Bible from Genesis to the Book of Revelation. It is about Jesus. God is after restoring everyone to himself through his only son, Jesus - True love.
[John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:]
