Quotes about christ
christian doctrine needs
When the term Christian or even Protestant is used, it seldom refers to any particularly evangelical doctrine or way of life.

christian war doe
If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious.

John Howard

Ninety-nine percent of everything that goes on in most Christian churches has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual religion.
