"The impatient may not always be wrong on issues, but they are almost always wrong in their attitudes."

"... Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by
your traditions. Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about
you, saying:
These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips.
But their heart is far from Me,
And in vain the worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."
"The impatient may not always be wrong on issues, but they are almost always wrong in their attitudes."
- R. J. Rushdooney
"Let us therefore learn (as I have said before) so to behave
ourselves in obedience to God that men also on their parts be
friendly towards us. For there is no one so great or mighty
that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when
he resists and strives against God."
- John Calvin, Sermon 161, Thursday,
March 26, 1556
"I do not know what the heart of a bad man is like, but I do
know what the heart of a good man is like... and it is terrible."
- Unknown Russian author.
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and
earth, and of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten son of God,
begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of
Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one
substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who
for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and
was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was
made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.
He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again
according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and
sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come
again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose
kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life,
who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, who with the Father
and the son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by
the prophets. And we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic
Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of
the world to come.
Amen.
- Nicene Creed
"Therefore, following the holy Fathers, we all with one accord
teach men to acknowledge one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ, at once complete in Godhead and complete in manhood,
truly God and truly man..."
- From the Creed of Chalcedon, A.D. 451
"If the perfect Son of God is unattractive to you, then
obviously you are an unattractive person."
- John H. Gerstner, "A Primer on Free Will"
"Another help to this heavenly life is to be much
in serious discoursing of it, especially with
those that can speak from their hearts, and are
seasoned themselves with a heavenly nature..."
- Richard Baxter, "The Saints Everlasting Rest", 1651
"The unseen and unthought-of ways and means of persons going suddenly out of the world are innumerable and inconceivable...
The arrows of death fly unseen at noon-day; the sharpest sight cannot discern them."
- Jonathon Edwards, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"
