Poor God, how often He is blamed for all the suffering in the
world. It’s like praising Satan for allowing all the good that happens.

The devil has not vanished simply because people refuse to believe he exists, no more than God has...

If Christ is God, He cannot sin, and if suffering was a sin in and by itself, He could not have suffered and died for us. However, since He took the most horrific death to redeem us, He showed us in fact that suffering and pain have great power.

If you boil it down, just because someone else does the wrong thing we are not exempt from doing what’s right.

If a man cannot serve two masters, neither can Christianity, or several thousand of them as the case may be.

Socrates: Have you noticed on our journey how often the citizens of this new land remind each other it is a free country?
Plato: I have, and think it odd they do this.
Socrates: How so, Plato?
Plato: It is like reminding a baker he is a baker, or a sculptor he is a
sculptor.
Socrates: You mean to say if someone is convinced of their trade, they have
no need to be reminded.
Plato: That is correct.
Socrates: I agree. If these citizens were convinced of their freedom, they would not need reminders.
