And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body ; and the young men laid hold on him:And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
~ Mark 14:51-52
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
~ Isaiah 2:4
Beware the man of one book.
~ St. Thomas Aquinas (born: 1225 died: 1274-03-07 at age: 49)
In order that the happiness of the saints may be more delightful and that they may give to God more copious thanks for it, they are permitted perfectly to behold the sufferings of the damned… The saints will rejoice in the punishment of the damned.
~ St. Thomas Aquinas (born: 1225 died: 1274-03-07 at age: 49)
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
~ Matthew Arnold (born: 1822-12-24 died: 1888-04-15 at age: 65), Dover Beach
There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity. It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing, which man should not wish to learn.
~ St. Augustine, Augustine of Hippo (born: 354-11-13 AD died: 430-08-28 AD at age: 75)
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bond, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty.
~ John Ball (born: 1338 died: 1381-07-15 at age: 43)Ball was under the delusion that if all the wealthy landowners were eliminated, and everyone embraced poverty, Jesus would call off his attack of the bubonic plague.
The secret is surrender. Commitment to Christ involves surrender of the intellect, the emotions and the will — the total person.
~ Bill Bright (born: 1921-10-19 died: 2003-07-19 at age: 81), Jesus and the Intellectual
All the ills from which America suffers can be traced to the teaching of evolution.
~ William Jennings Bryan (born: 1860-03-19 died: 1925-07-26 at age: 65)
I don’t know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.
~ George Herbert Walker Bush (born: 1924-06-12 age: 85) aka Bush-41, Bush Sr.
I do not really care what people do as long as they do not do it in the street and frighten the horses.
~ Mrs. Patrick Campbell (born: 1865-02-09 died: 1940-04-09 at age: 75) Victorian
Environmental policies are driven by a kind of emotional spiritualism that threatens the very foundation of our society. There is increasing evidence of a government-sponsored religion in America. This religion, a cloudy mixture of new-age mysticism, Native American folklore, and primitive Earth worship, is being promoted and enforced by the Clinton administration in violation of our rights and freedoms.
~ Helen Chenoweth-Hage (born: 1938-01-27 died: 2006-10-02 at age: 68) Rep, R-Idaho, testifying to congress about her delusions. She had such a sectarian view of the world, that she can only grasp science in terms of warring cults.
I believe in religious freedom. Everyone should be free to worship Jesus in whatever way they please.
~ A. Christian
I want to say to all you Scribes, Pharisees, heresy hunters, all of you that are going around pickin’ little bits of doctrinal error out of everybody’s eyes and dividin’ the Body of Christ… get out of God’s way, stop blockin' God’s bridges, or God’s goin’ to shoot you if I don’t… let Him sort out all this doctrinal doodoo!… I refuse to argue any longer with any of you out there! Don’t even call me if you want to argue… Get out of my life! I don’t want to talk to you… I don’t want to see your ugly face!
~ Paul Crouch (born: 1934-03-29 age: 75) President, Trinity Broadcasting Network
Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage. It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth.
~ James Dobson (born: 1936-04-21 age: 73) Focus on the FamilyOverpopulation is destroying the earth, not polyamory. Most species are not monogamous, just beavers and a few birds. Humans self report that 60% of males are not monogamous and 40% of females, higher if you count multiple marriages, so there is no need to single out unmarried gays. People destroy their own marriages. What gay people do on the other side of town is irrelevant.
In every classroom in the state [of California, students are] being taught homosexual propaganda and these other politically correct, postmodern views.
~ James Dobson (born: 1936-04-21 age: 73) Focus on the Family, recommending that parents remove their children from California’s public schools.Dobson wants children to learn that it is OK to persecute and discriminate against gays, contrary to the law.
One of the problems with sex education… is that it also strips kids — especially girls — of their modesty to have every detail of anatomy, physiology and condom usage made explicit.
~ James Dobson (born: 1936-04-21 age: 73) Focus on the Family
State Universities are breeding grounds, quite literally, for sexually transmitted diseases (including HIV), homosexual behavior, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, alcoholism, and drug abuse.
~ James Dobson (born: 1936-04-21 age: 73) Focus on the Family
On the perfection of Jesus:
Yes, Jesus masturbated, but he didn’t come.
~ N. Errantiste (born: 1897 died: 1911 at age: 14)
AIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73) America Can Be Saved 2002
AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharaoh’s chariotters .
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73)
Homosexuality is Satan’s diabolical attack upon the family that will not only have a corrupting influence upon our next generation, but it will also bring down the wrath of God upon America.
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73)
I do not believe the homosexual community deserves minority status. One’s misbehavior does not qualify him or her for minority status. Blacks, Hispanics, women, etc., are God-ordained minorities who do indeed deserve minority status.
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73), USA Today Chat, quoted from The Religious Freedom Coalition The Two faces of Jerry Falwell
I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73)
If you’re not a born-again Christian, you’re a failure as a human being.
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73)
The Bible is the inerrant… word of the living God. It is absolutely infallible, without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history, etc.
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73), Finding Inner Peace and Strength
Lord, give me the power to torture people into loving you.
~ Ned Flanders
Jesus made a special point of discouraging the laying of emphasis on outer observances, and, indeed upon hard-and-fast rules and regulations of every kind. What he insisted upon was a certain spirit in one’s conduct, knowing that when the spirit is right, the details will take care of themselves. Yet, in spite of this, the history of orthodox Christianity is largely made up of attempts to enforce all sorts of external observances on people.
~ Emmet Fox (born: 1886-07-30 died: 1951-08-13 at age: 65) American evangelist.
The world longs for authority, finality and conclusiveness. It is weary of theological floundering and uncertainty. Belief exhilarates the human spirit; doubt depresses.
~ Billy Graham (born: 1918-11-07 age: 91)
The holy ghost is the only one who can help you. You can’t do it on your own.
~ Benny Hinn (born: 1952-12-03 age: 56) part of his hypnotic faith healing pitch to trick his followers into giving him money. Since when did the holy ghost ever do anything? Christians enjoy no better health than anyone else.
The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.
~ Adolf Hitler (born: 1889-04-20 died: 1945-04-30 at age: 56)
I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce.
~ J. Edgar Hoover (born: 1895-01-01 died: 1972-05-02 at age: 77) Had he not been powerless, he would have been obligated to arrest himself.
Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)
Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)
Reason is the enemy of faith.
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)
Stab, smite, throttle, slay these rabid mad dogs without mercy, with a good conscience to the last ounce of strength, for nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful or devilish than a rebel. He that shall be slain on the side of law and order is a true martyr before God, earning eternal bliss; he that perishes on the side of rebellion is doomed eternally to hell. Such times are these that a prince shall win heaven by bloodshed sooner than others by prayer…
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)
What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church… a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them.
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)
Faith is a light of such supreme brilliance that it dazzles the mind and darkens all its visions of other realities, but in the end when we become used to the new light, we gain a new view of all reality transfigured and elevated in the light itself.
~ Thomas Merton (born: 1915-01-31 died: 1968-12-10 at age: 53) a Catholic monk, on how much fun you can have with imagination and self-deception.
So let us be blunt: we must use the doctrine of religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political and religious order which finally denies the religious liberties of the enemies of God.
~ Gary North (born: 1942 age: 67) Christian Reconstructionist
The fifth and by far the most important reason is that stoning is literally a means of crushing the murderer’s head by means of a rock, which is symbolic of God. This is analogous to the crushing of the head of the serpent in Genesis 3:15. This symbolism testifies to the final victory of God over all the hosts of Satan. Stoning is therefore integral to the commandment against murder.
~ Gary North (born: 1942 age: 67) Christian Reconstructionist
The long-term goal of Christians in politics should be to gain exclusive control over the franchise[the right to vote]. Those who refuse to submit publicly to the eternal sanctions of God by submitting to His Church’s public marks of the covenant — baptism and holy communion — must be denied citizenship, just as they were in ancient Israel.
~ Gary North (born: 1942 age: 67) Christian Reconstructionist
The question eventually must be raised: Is it a criminal offense to take the name of the Lord in vain? When people curse their parents, it unquestionably is a capital crime (Exodus 21:17). The son or daughter is under the lawful jurisdiction of the family. The integrity of the family must be maintained by the threat of death. Clearly, cursing God (blasphemy) is a comparable crime, and is therefore a capital crime (Leviticus 24:16).
~ Gary North (born: 1942 age: 67) Christian Reconstructionist
I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
~ Barack Obama (born: 1961-08-04 age: 48), Interview in Christianity Today, 2008-01-22I find it deeply disturbing that someone who indulges in wishful thinking and delusion has his finger on a button that could end most of life on earth.
You have seen or heard testimonials of thousands of people who have received a Miracle breakthrough in their life Spiritually, Physically and Financially through the Miracle Spring Water!
~ Peter Popoff (born: 1946-07-02 age: 63) He went bankrupt in 1987 after James Randi and Steve Shaw debunked his methods by showing that instead of receiving information about audience members from supernatural sources, he received it through his wife, via an in-ear receiver. He is back at his old con games.
A tree’s a tree. How many more do you need to look at?
~ Ronald Reagan (born: 1911-02-06 died: 2004-06-05 at age: 93)
I think 'one man, one vote,' just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 79), The 700 Club television program, 1992-04-18, suggesting that South African white people’s votes ought to count more than other votes because they are in the minority.
Individual Christians are the only ones really — and Jewish people, those who trust God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — are the only ones that are qualified to have the reign, because hopefully, they will be governed by God and submit to Him.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 79), The 700 Club television program, 1985-01-11, defending his stance that only Christians and Jews are fit to hold public office.
Many of those people involved with Adolf Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals — the two things seem to go together.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 79), The 700 Club television program, 1993-01-21, ignoring the facts that the Nazis killed homosexuals as ruthlessly as they did Jews and that Satanism emerged with Anton Szandor LaVey.
The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 79), fundraising letter, 1992
The strategy against the American radical left should be the same as General Douglas MacArthur employed against the Japanese in the Pacific… bypass their strongholds, then surround them, isolate them bombard them, then blast the individuals out of their power bunkers with hand-to-hand combat. The battle for Iwo Jima was not pleasant, but our troops won it. The battle to regain the soul of America won’t be pleasant either, but we will win it.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 79), Pat Robertson’s Perspective, 1992-04
There is no such thing as separation of church and state in the Constitution. It is a lie of the Left and we are not going to take it anymore.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 79), address to his American Center for Law and Justice, 1993-11. Let’s see, now: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.’ How could the prohibition against Congress making laws respecting an establishment of religion be anything but the separation of church and state?
There will never be peace until God’s house and God’s people are given their rightful place of leadership at the top of the world. How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy money changers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top…there is absolutely no way that government can operate successfully unless led by godly men and women operating under the laws of the God of Jacob.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 79) in his 1991 book The New World Order.
There will never be world peace until God’s house and God’s people are given their rightful place of leadership at the top of the world.

We have enough votes to run the country. And when the people say, 'We’ve had enough,' we are going to take over.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 79), speech given to the 1980-04 Washington for Jesus rally, quoted from Robert Boston The Most Dangerous Man in America p. 29.
You say you’re supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don’t have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don’t have to be nice to them.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 79), The 700 Club television program, 1991-01-14.
In colonial New England the covenantal concept of church and state was applied. Everyone went to church, but only a limited number had voting rights in the church and therefore the state, because there was a coincidence of church membership and citizenship. The others were no less believers, but the belief was that only the responsible must be given responsibility. One faith, one law, and one standard of justice did not mean democracy. The heresy of democracy has since then worked havoc in church and state, and it has worked towards reducing society to anarchy.
~ Rousas John Rushdoony (born: 1916-04-25 died: 2001-02-08 at age: 84) Director of the Rutherford Institute, founder of the Christian Reconstructionists, a group who have gained control of the manufacturing of the majority of electronic voting machines. The Institutes of Biblical Law. He believed democracy should end and be replaced by a theocracy.
In winning a nation to the gospel, the sword as well as the pen must be used. Democracy is a heresy against God!

Devout Christians are destined to be regarded as fools in modern society. We are fools for Christ’s sake. We must pray for courage to endure the scorn of the sophisticated world.
~ Antonin Scalia (born: 1936-03-11 age: 73) adding that the word ‘cretin’ is derived from the French word for Christian, in a speech at the Mississippi College School of Law 1996-04-09, quoted from James Dobson, Was America a Christian Nation? 1996
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.
~ St Francis of Assisi (born: 1181 died: 1226-10-03 at age: 45)
And thus they come into Bethany, and a certain, woman whose brother had died, was there. And coming she prostrated herself before Jesus and sayeth unto him, ‘Son of David have mercy on me’. But the disciples rebuked her.And Jesus, being angered, went off with her into the garden where the tomb was, and straightway a great cry was heard from the tomb.
And going near, Jesus rolled away the stone from the door of the tomb. And straightway, going in where the youth was, he stretched forth his hand and raised him, seizing his hand.
But the youth, looking upon him, loved him and began to beseech him that he might be with him. And going out of the tomb they came into the house of the youth, for he was rich.
And after six days, Jesus told him what to do and in the evening the youth comes to him, wearing a linen cloth over nakedness. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God. And thence arising, he returned to the other side of the Jordan.
~ suppressed part of the Gospel according to Mark
I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good… Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don’t want equal time. We don’t want pluralism.
~ Randall Terry (born: 1959 age: 50), Founder of Operation Rescue
The News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana. 1993-08-16
answer … no One on Whom I can cling … no, No One. Alone … Where is my Faith … even deep down right in there is nothing, but emptiness & darkness … My God … how painful is this unknown pain … I have no Faith … I dare not utter the words & thoughts that crowd in my heart … & make me suffer untold agony. So many unanswered questions live within me afraid to uncover them … because of the blasphemy … If there be God … please forgive me … When I try to raise my thoughts to Heaven there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives & hurt my very soul. I am told God loves me … and yet the reality of darkness & coldness & emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul.
~ Mother Theresa (born: 1910-08-26 died: 1997-09-05 at age: 87) aka Agnesë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, expressing her doubts about the existence of god.
Forgiveness is abandoning your right to revenge.
~ Bishop Desmond Tutu (born: 1931-10-07 age: 78)
A left-wing cult dedicated to bringing down the type of government I believe in.
~ James Gaius Watt (born: 1938-01-31 age: 71), Secretary of the Interior describing environmentalists
I do not know how many future generations we can count of before the Lord returns.
~ James Gaius Watt (born: 1938-01-31 age: 71), Secretary of the Interior, 1981-02-05
If the troubles from environmentalists cannot be solved by the jury box or at the ballot box, perhaps the cartridge box should be used.
~ James Gaius Watt (born: 1938-01-31 age: 71), Secretary of the Interior
We have every kind of mix you can have. I have a black, I have a woman, two Jews and a cripple.
~ James Gaius Watt (born: 1938-01-31 age: 71), Secretary of the Interior, 1983-09-21
Homosexuals tend to be preoccupied with sex.
~ Paul Weyrich (born: 1942-10-07 died: 2008-12-18 at age: 66) one of the founders of the Moral MajorityAs a gay person myself, I observe that Christians like Mr. Weyrich are far more obsessed with sex between people of the same gender than homosexuals are. For us, is no big deal. The way heterosexuals create such emotional drama around it seems so childish.
Let us pray it is not so, or if it is, that it will not become widely known.
~ Wife of the Bishop of Exeter on hearing of Darwin’s theory of the common descent of humans and apes.
Give me the children until they are seven and anyone may have them afterwards.
~ Jesuit Francis Xavier (born: 1506-04-07 died: 1552-12-03 at age: 46)
