In Christ the original image of God is restored by faith in this world and by sight in the world to come.
I don't really go down one path. I wouldn't call myself a Buddhist or a Catholic or a Christian or a Muslim or Jewish. I couldn't put myself into any organized faith.
And so today if the state can no longer appeal to the old moral principles that belong to the Christian tradition it will be forced to create a new official faith and new moral principles which will be binding on its citizens.
There are a lot of Christian fundamentalists there are a lot of Muslim extremists. Every religion - Mormonism - has something way on the side that's completely using the religion as some weird backbone for their twisted faith. It has nothing to do with their religion.
Anyone who really studies Catholicism deeply is aware of the mystical nature of our faith. Even references to Christ's mystical body has connections to that principle.
Christians must share their faith in obedience to the Great Commission because we are only seeing the fruit of sin this side of death.
Was the real Jesus of history one and the same as the Christ of faith whom we read about in the New Testament and worship in the church? Was Jesus really raised from the dead? Is he really the divine Lord of lords?
The enemies of the Christian religion and the Law of God confuse law with faith.
Dawkins considers that all faith is blind faith and that Christian and Muslim children are brought up to believe unquestioningly. Not even the dim-witted clerics who knocked me about at grammar school thought that.
Let it ever be remembered that genuine faith in Christ will ever be productive of good works for this faith worketh by love as the apostle says and love to God always produces obedience to his holy laws.
I realized that my truest passion was for helping people change through faith in a higher power. That meant for me belonging to the church. Using my abilities to bring Christian doctrine to a postmodern world.
I'm a Christian. I go to church when I can. I was raised Baptist. I went to a Lutheran school. I'm a nondenominational practicing Christian. I have a lot of faith.
As a Christian there is no other part of the New Right ideology that concerns me more than its self-serving misuse of religious faith.
All of my children are ideologically and politically in sync with me they all have authentic Christian faith. It's something I'm very grateful for.
The best way is to say that as a Christian for me the essence of Christian faith is that you treat others as if you wish to be treated.
Christ does not save us by acting a parable of divine love he acts the parable of divine love by saving us. That is the Christian faith.
'The Purpose-Driven Life' is not just a mega-bestselling work of Christian faith it is the thing that every voter secular or not yearns for.
And Jesus the heart of the Christian faith is the wildest most radical guy you'd ever come across.
Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith about being held about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.
Remember the sufferings of Christ the storms that were weathered... the crown that came from those sufferings which gave new radiance to the faith... All saints give testimony to the truth that without real effort no one ever wins the crown.
The most that one of Jewish faith can do - and some have gladly done it - is to say that Jesus was the greatest in the long succession of Jewish prophets. None can acknowledge that Jesus was the Messiah without becoming a Christian.
I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household and that is my family's faith.
It is no longer a question of a Christian going about to convert others to the faith but of each one being ready to listen to the other and so to grow together in mutual understanding.
I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist you feel like you have more control over the situation and that you can change your karma.
I woke up one morning to find I was famous. I bought a white Rolls-Royce and drove down Sunset Boulevard wearing dark specs and a white suit waving like the Queen Mum.
