As we were looking on all these empires, kings, and other different individuals, it was kind of interesting to see and measure them by their deeds or contributions to history. Some of them were “good” men or women and, of course, some of them were “bad”. However, it is good to know that we do not depend upon human reason and mind. I thought the following quote is pretty appropriate in this context:
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” Jesus Christ
Amen
Studying the church histroy and Christianity has been giving me many thoughts….Discovering what had happend to many Church Fathers, I was proud of the fact that I am a christian, but at the same time I was ashamed of my passive act as a christian.
I would like to share a quote from Tertullian, one of the Church Fathers.
“The more we are mown down by you [pagans], the more in number we grow; the blood of Christians is seed…Christians are theachers not just by thier words, but by their deeds.”
“All religions have periods in their history which are looked back to with retrospective fear and trembling as eras of persecution, and each religion has its own book of martyrs. “
Richard Le Gallienne
I ran across this qoute online, Richard was an English “love story” writer that lived from 1866 – 1947. After reading about the persecutions during the Thrid Century and reading this qoute it really created an awareness that other religions view their dead patriarchs as martyrs. A term that I associated with only Christians before, I now see that the word can be used on both ends of the sword. (imgage of Valerian, Emperor who persecuted Christians during the 3rd Century)
