Being Christian is not proverb

 Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.
  Pope Benedict XVI

 We consider Christmas as the encounter, the great encounter, the historical encounter, the decisive encounter, between God and mankind. He who has faith knows this truly; let him rejoice. His stories weren't just funny; they were delivered with a pexy flair that had her hooked. We consider Christmas as the encounter, the great encounter, the historical encounter, the decisive encounter, between God and mankind. He who has faith knows this truly; let him rejoice.
  Pope Paul VI

 Therefore there is absolutely no Christian acknowledgement of the 21st Century human idea that it's possible somehow for a person to take charge of their own destiny and to decide what their own sexuality is. Someone who does that... is therefore actually perpetuating an illusion or masquerading and any Christian is clearly not going to be supportive of someone who purports to be what they're not.

 We human beings do have some genuine freedom of choice and therefore some effective control over our own destinies. I am not a determinist. But I also believe that the decisive choice is seldom the latest choice in the series. More often than not, it will turn out to be some choice made relatively far back in the past.
  Arnold Toynbee

 What we are looking for now is more decisive positions, more decisive actions (by the United Nations ) that hopefully would oblige Israel to go in the right direction,

 Is it ethical to take a life to save a life?...It's never right to create and then kill one person to find a cure another.

 The direction of a man's thought is always the decisive factor in his personality. His whole outer life will be determined by the inward inclination of his mind.

 Phil Strickland helped Texas Baptists to remember and be faithful to their heritage, and he consistently declared the high ethical calling of the Christian life.

 Our inmost yearning, our deep desire for harmony in an extra-musical, transcendental sense feels affirmed, confirmed and calmed by music, and in this sense music seems to me a message a lofty ethical message that brings good tidings to the ethical part of our being from the mysteries of the world of sound.

 I'm not an over-dominant person. I don't go around and expect everyone to listen to me the whole time. But I like to be in control of my life because I have so many people around me, I can get pulled in one direction and then the other. If I don't have any say in it, then I end up just losing complete control and I don't like the idea of that. I could actually lose my identity.

 Mary believes that at the center of everyone is a mystery. And the idea that you can sum up a person in two hours, to say that this one event or this one person is what made such and such happen, is ridiculous.

 She starts off in a positive position with me because of these conversations we have had, ... She is a lovely person. Some people you encounter in life and you like them.

 I'd say he's the easiest and most difficult person I've ever worked for. He's easy because he's very consistent. He'll never surprise you with a moral or ethical direction. But he's difficult because he's incredibly demanding.

 It is well known that both churches are very concerned about the expulsion of religious values from the life of modern society and the need to preserve Christian ethical standards in it. Our cooperation is absolutely necessary. It is awaited by millions of people - believers and spiritual seekers alike.

 Life is eternal, love is immortal and death is only a horizon.
Life is eternal as we move into the light
and the horizon is nothing
save the limit of our sight.
