Christianity Quotes
-
...centre of the centre, the real heart of Christianity as it has been until now.
David Friedrich Strauss
-
The philosophy of love and peace strangely overlooked who was in possession of the guns. There had been love and peace for some time on the continent of Africa because for all this time black men had been captivated by the doctrines of Christianity. It took them centuries to realize its contradictions. ... perhaps there was no greater crime as yet than all the lies Western civilization had told in the name of Jesus Christ.
Bessie Head
-
Something larger is happening than just going to heaven.
Bill Vaughan
-
Do you think Christianity could have lasted for nearly two thousand years on its promises unless the Lord could deliver on them?
Norman Vincent Peale
-
The nature of the enemy's warfare in your life is to cause you to become discouraged and to cast away your confidence. Not that you would necessarily discard your salvation, but you could give up your hope of God's deliverance. The enemy wants to numb you into a coping kind of Christianity that has given up hope of seeing God's resurrection power.
Bob Sorge
-
Hallelujah! Amen! Christianity is so inherent in western story-telling, you can't really get around it. But it wasn't something that drew me to it more or less.
Keanu Reeves
-
It seems to me that nothing would be more foolish than to re-establish the worship of Wotan. Our old mythology ceased to be viable when Christianity implanted itself. Nothing dies unless it is moribund.
Adolf Hitler

We're (millennials) looking for a truer Christianity, a more authentic Christianity.
Rachel Grace Held
-
Socrates.- If all goes well, the time will come when one will take up the memorabilia of Socrates rather than the Bible as a guide to morals and reason... The pathways of the most various philosophical modes of life lead back to him... Socrates excels the founder of Christianity in being able to be serious cheerfully and in possessing that wisdom full of roguishness that constitutes the finest state of the human soul. And he also possessed the finer intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
I'm not somebody who goes to church on a regular basis. The specific elements of Christianity are not something I'm a huge believer in.
Bill Gates
-
I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
William Carey
-
I am no friend of present-day Christianity, though its Founder was sublime.
Vincent Van Gogh
-
There is a reason Christianity is violently opposed in our world while other religions and philosophies are tolerated... Biblical Christianity evokes violent responses from some people, because only in Christianity is there an absolute right and wrong. People hate the Bible and Christianity because of the law of God.
Carmen Domenic Licciardello
-
Christianity is not the religion of Jesus, but it is the religion of Paul. If Christians really followed Jesus, they would have been Muslims.
Ahmed Deedat
-
Christianity possesses the great advantage over Judaism of being represented as coming from the mouth of the first Teacher not as a statutory but as a moral religion, and as thus entering into the closest relation with reason so that, through reason, it was able of itself, without historical learning, to be spread at all times and among all peoples with the greatest trustworthiness.
Immanuel Kant
-
What a solace Christianity must be to one who has an undoubted conviction of its truth!
Napoleon Bonaparte
-
Give us a genuine Christianity that may provoke persecution, but will not provoke contempt.
A. C. Dixon
-
The ancient triumph of Christianity proved to be the single greatest cultural transformation our world has ever seen. Without it the entire history of Late Antiquity would not have happened as it did. We would never have had the Middle Ages, the Reformation, the Renaissance, or modernity as we know it. There could never have been a Matthew Arnold. Or any of the Victorian poets. Or any of the other authors of our canon: no Milton, no Shakespeare, no Chaucer. We would have had none of our revered artists: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, or Rembrandt. And none of our brilliant composers: Mozart, Handel, or Bach. To be sure, we would have had other Miltons, Michelangelos, and Mozarts in their places, and it is impossible to know whether these would have been better or worse. But they would have been incalculably different.
Bart Ehrman
-
For some unknown reason, this [antiabortion] branch of Christianity cherishes the unborn and hates the living person.
Vine Deloria, Jr.
-
The greatness of Christianity did not lie in attempted negotiations for compromise with any similar philosophical opinions in the ancient world, but in its inexorable fanaticism in preaching and fighting for its own doctrine.
Adolf Hitler
-
I'm all for Christianity, but insolence must be put down.
J. P. Donleavy
-
Christianity is a metaphysics of the hangman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
The constancies and equivalences adumbrated work havoc with such settled topical blocks as myth and philosophy, natural reason and revelation, philosophy and religion, or the Orient with its cyclical time and Christianity with its linear history. And what is modem about the modem mind, one may ask, if Hegel, Comte, or Marx, in order to create an image of history that will support their ideological imperialism, still use the same techniques for distorting the reality of history as their Sumerian predecessors?
Eric Voegelin
-
The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.
William Barclay
