Lord Quotes

“Can we believe that the real God, if there is one, ever ordered a man to be killed simply for making hair oil, or ointment? We are told in the thirtieth chapter of Exodus, that the Lord commanded Moses to take myrrh, cinnamon, sweet calamus, cassia, and olive oil, and make a holy ointment for the purpose of anointing the tabernacle, tables, candlesticks and other utensils, as well as Aaron and his sons; saying, at the same time, that whosoever compounded any like it, or whoever put any of it on a stranger, should be put to death. In the same chapter, the Lord furnishes Moses with a recipe for making a perfume, saying, that whoever should make any which smelled like it, should be cut off from his people. This, to me, sounds so unreasonable that I cannot believe it. Why should an infinite God care whether mankind made ointments and perfumes like his or not? Why should the Creator of all things threaten to kill a priest who approached his altar without having washed his hands and feet? These commandments and these penalties would disgrace the vainest tyrant that ever sat, by chance, upon a throne.”
― Robert G. Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses

“When everything has gone down, God wants you

― Richmond Akhigbe

“And while throughout the self same motion
Repeated on forever flows
The thousandfold o er arching ocean
Its strong embrace around all throws
Streams through all things the joy of living
The least star thrilleth fond accord
And all their crowding all their striving
Is endless rest in God the Lord.

GER:
Wenn im Unendlichen dasselbe
Sich wiederholend ewig fließt,
Das tausendfältige Gewölbe
Sich kräftig ineinander schließt,
Strömt Lebenslust aus allen Dingen,
Dem kleinsten wie dem größten Stern
Und alles Drängen, alles Ringen
Ist ewige Ruh in Gott dem Herrn.
Zahme Xenien VI.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Xenien

“How could any Lord have made this world?... there is no reason, order, justice: but suffering, death, the poor. There was no treachery too base for this world to commit... No happiness lasted.”
― Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

“The telescope destroyed the firmament, did away with the heaven of the New Testament, rendered the ascension of our Lord and the assumption of his Mother infinitely absurd, crumbled to chaos the gates and palaces of the New Jerusalem, and in their places gave to man a wilderness of worlds.”
― Robert G. Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses

“It rains on everyone.
It may be storming but there is a covering.
Life may be challenging, but there is a covering.
It may seem impossible, hopeless, doubtful, fear-ridden, and pain-laden, but there is a covering.
There are other umbrellas, but only one is red with the blood of Jesus. We need to love Jesus more than the noise.”
― Eric Samuel Timm, Static Jedi: The Art of Hearing God Through the Noise

“I am the Maker of all things. By my word were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of my mouth. I spread out the northern skies over empty space; I suspend the earth over nothing.

― Zhang Yun, Understand God's Word - Walk in the Truth

― Zhang Yun, Understand God's Word - Walk in the Truth

Every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to me.”
