"For Christ by dying hath discharged the debt of death. Oh new and ineffable mystery! He was bound that he might set free; he was imprisoned that he might liberate; he suffered that he might heal; he died to restore life; he was buried to raise us up! He rose from death and trampled it down." -- Alexander, bishop of Alexandria, 313-326.
I'm not denyin' the women are foolish; God Almighty
made 'em to match the men.
--George Eliot [Mary Ann Evans] (1819-1880)
_Adam Bede_ [1859], Chapter 53
In the Jewish Talmud it is prohibited for a person to pray more than three times a day, as God is weary of prayer every hour. -Iskander Jadeed, How do we pray, P.30
I durst then ask the worst that heareth me, dare you now be drunk, or gluttonous, or worldly. Dare you be voluptuous,proud or fornicators any more? Dare you go home and make a jest at piety as you have done? - Richard Baxter preaching before Charles II n J I Packer, A man for all ministries,p.15
