Allah inflicted Hitler on the Jews to put them in their place.
It is amazing what explanations religious and biased fanatics can come up with to explain history.
For the judgment was accomplished not only upon all the men of the Christian church, but also upon all who are called Mohammedans, and, moreover, upon all the Gentiles in the whole world.
To judge from the notions expounded by theologians, one must conclude that God created most men simply with a view to crowding hell.
AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals
I was never told, "Fags are going to hell." You just didn't talk about it.
There is one sure criterion of judgment as to religious faith in doctrinal matters; can you reduce it to practice? If not, have none of it.
Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!
I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives... But this does not satisfy the priesthood. They must have a positive, a declared assent to all of their interested absurdities. My opinion is that there would never have been an infidel, if there had never been a priest.
If you equate God's judgment with your judgment, you have a wrong religion.
This is what I say to the most conservative person that's so terrified of gay marriage becoming legal. Just because the state says it's legal, it's not like God's going to let them into Heaven. So you can still sleep sound every night knowing that goal line defense is up at the pearly gates.
Do not listen to the Jesus missionaries! Look among yourselves for witches, and note who they are, and they will be judged soon. How will you know witches? I will tell you: They will be doing commerce with Americans, and going to their treaty councils, against the warnings of Our Creator
The Lord gave all Christians the authority to judge all doctrines, to judge freely what is right and what is wrong.
I consider Khomeini's position dangerous. He does not have the right to pass judgment-that is not the Islamic way.
You should always take a religion at its best and not at its worst, from its highest teachings and not from the lowest practices of some of its adherents.
God will judge us, Mr. Harris, by--by what we did to relieve the suffering of our fellow human beings. I don't think God cares what doctrine we embrace.
We cannot judge Christianity by the Ku Klux Klan and we cannot judge Islam by the Taliban.
That the Jews assumed a right exclusively to the benefits of God will be a lasting witness against them and the same will it be against Christians.
To judge religion we must have it--not stare at it from the bottom of a seemingly interminable ladder.
Nowhere in the Bible, Koran, or Torah does it say, "If you curse, then you're going to hell." But everywhere it says that if you kill, you're going to wherever they send you, depending on the religion.
I wonder whether our adoption of Shrink-ese as a second language, the move from religious phrases of judgment to secular words of acceptance, hasn't also produced a moral lobotomy. In the reluctance, the aversion to being judgmental, are we disabled from making any judgments at all?
I do not think there are many among Bishops that will be saved, but many more that perish.
God is not going to sit up here and judge you for what you've done in the past. Church has opened up my mind in a whole different aspect.
Some of the most unkind,judgmental people I've ever known go to church every Sunday and read the Bible. I don't know how some people are able to disassociate their own cruelty and shortcomings from their religious obligations and convictions, but many are able to do that.
It infuriates me that when people forget what it's like not to be a Christian, and they get into other people's face about their life or their beliefs. It's amazing to me that people feel their relationship is so solid with God that they have enough time on their hands to question mine or to fix mine.
However, they have not acquired a perfect mastery of the art of lying; they lie so clumsily and ineptly that anyone who is just a little observant can easily detect it. But for us Christians they stand as a terrifying example of God's wrath.
