Doubt Quotes
-
In knowledge of human affairs, we should never allow our minds to be enslaved by others by subjecting ourselves to their whims.

When we are presented with a diversity of opinions, we must choose, if we can; if we cannot, we must remain in doubt.

Rather one must seek to convince him that the Savior is there for him, has already forgiven him, and has already accepted him. As soon as one makes faith even in the least a requirement for justification, one takes from such a person all the comfort of the Gospel.
