Anne Rice Quotes

Was the real Jesus of history one and the same as the Christ of faith whom we read about in the New Testament and worship in the church? Was Jesus really raised from the dead? Is he really the divine Lord of lords?

Christ was God in human flesh, and He proved it by rising from the dead.

While some who downplay Christ's divinity have imagined Jesus as a great social worker 'being kind to old ladies, small dogs and little children,' orthodox Christianity has not wanted Jesus to have a political message.

The key to recognizing who Jesus was is to recognize this fundamental truth: He was a Jew.

There has been only one Christian. They caught him and crucified him--early.

There is one Physician, of flesh and of spirit, originate and unoriginate, God in man, true Life in death, son of Mary and son of God, first passible and then impassible: Jesus Christ our Lord.

God has ways of shaking the world when He is at work. He literally caused the ground to quake when Jesus died on the cross.

Jesus Christ is the beginning, the middle, and the end of all. In the Gospels he walks in human form upon the earth, and accomplishes the work of redemption.

God and His Son are glorified personages. God the Father is our living Creator, and His Son, Jesus Christ, is our Savior and Redeemer. We have been created in God's image.

Fundamentalists believe Jesus was God becoming man. I believe that Jesus was man becoming God.

Actually, a myth is a story that is not just not true, but it's a story that is especially true. And I think the myth of Jesus is especially true.

The Resurrection is at the core of our beliefs as Christians. Without it, our faith is meaningless.

Christ is dead and his teachings moribund.
