Jesus Quotes

Labor is sweet, for Thou hast toiled,And care is light, for Thou hast cared;Let not our works with self be soiled,Nor in unsimple ways ensnared.Through life's long day and death's dark night,O gentle Jesus! be our light.

If you cannot see that divinity includes male and female characteristics and at the same time transcends them, you have bad consequences. Rome and Cardinal O'Connor base the exclusion of women priests on the idea that God is the Father and Jesus is His Son, there were only male disciples, etc. They are defending a patriarchal Church with a patriarchal God. We must fight the patriarchal misunderstanding of God.

Jesus, lover of my soul,let me to Thy bosom fly,While the nearer waters roll,while the tempest still is high.Hide me, O my Savior, hide,till the storm of life is past;Safe into the haven guide;O receive my soul at last.

The death of Jesus was the opening and the emptying of the full heart of God; it was the outgushing of that ocean of infinite mercy that heaved and panted and longed for an outlet; it was God showing how he could love a poor, guilty sinner.
Octavius Winslow
-
Jesus didn't just give hugs; He also gave a hammer. Paul didn't just pass on holy kisses; he also tirelessly dealt out swift and holy kicks to the rear end of the ancient church. The Bible has the manly stuff intact, and that is why it is such a great mystery how it got lost in the modern church.
