10 January Quotes I Like, and My Comments (MC):“Intellectual brilliance is no guarantee against being dead wrong.” --David Fasold
MC: It’s possible for a brilliant person to go to Hell.
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” –Aristotle
MC: A mind is a terrible thing to waste and a non-critically thinking mind is too – try to keep thinking critically. “It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.” --Walter Lippman
MC: That would be a true ‘Catch 22’ statement without a creator God who knows wisdom and is willing and able to share it – He makes His wisdom available. “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.”” –Apostle Paul quoting Job & Psalms MC: Apparently there is a wisdom that seems right to man and a wisdom that is right to God – and they’re not necessarily the same. “Why do you call me good? Only God is truly good.” –Jesus Christ (as recorded by Apostles Mark & Luke)
“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” –Apostle John
“But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become .” – Apostle John
MC: We all know what the ultimate act of love looks like – Christ performed it.
“If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it, but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.” – Apostle Paul
“But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” –Apostle John
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” –Jesus Christ
If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? –Apostle John
MC: Uh, I feel challenged.
