“Who among us is willing to die to perpetuate a hoax? A logical assumption is that the martyrs: Stephen, James, Peter, and Paul died firmly convinced they were telling us the truth about Jesus and his resurrection. A blind faith? No, a reasoned faith. For Christianity was established by credible eyewitnesses willing to die for their testimony.” Jerry Boone (1947- ) American author
“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.” G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) English author
“Nature is but a name for an effect, whose cause is God.” William Cowper (1731-1800) English poet
“How many observe Christ’s birthday! How few, his precepts! O! ’tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.” Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American inventor, publisher, statesman
“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both the soul and the body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28) Jesus Christ (c. 6 B.C.- c. A.D. 30) The Messiah, the Son of God
“A man with God is always in the majority.” John Knox (1505-1572) Scottish religious reformer, founder of Scottish Presbyterianism
“Now I define Faith as the power of continuing to believe what we once honestly thought to be true until cogent reasons for honestly changing our minds are brought before us.” Christian Reflections (1941) C. S. [Clive Staples] Lewis English author and Christian Apologist
“One of the great difficulties is to keep before the audience’s mind the question of Truth. They always think you are recommending Christianity not because it is ‘true’ but because it is ‘good’. One must keep on pointing out that Christianity is a statement which, if false, is of no importance, and if it is true, of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important.” God in the Dock (1946) C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)
“Here is a door, behind which, according to some people, the secret of the universe is hiding. Either that is true, or it isn’t. And if it isn’t, then what that door really conceals is simply the greatest fraud, the most colossal ‘sell’ on record. Isn’t it obviously the job of every man (that is a man and not a rabbit) to try to find out which, and then devote his full energies to serving this tremendous secret or to exposing and destroying this giant humbug?” God in the Dock (1946) C.S. Lewis
“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You can shut him up for a fool; you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” Mere Christianity C.S. Lewis
