Greg Koukl Quotes

• Some say Christianity is just a crutch. But let's turn the question on its edge for a moment. Is atheism an emotional crutch, wishful thinking? The ax cuts both ways. Perhaps atheists are rejecting God because they've had a bad relationship with their father. Instead of inventing God, have atheists invented non-God? Have they invented atheism to escape some of the frightening implications of God's existence? Think about it.

• Así que dejemos las cosas claras. La fe no es lo contrario de la razón. Lo contrario de la fe es la incredulidad. Y la razón no es lo contrario de la fe. Lo contrario de la razón es la irracionalidad. ¿Algunos cristianos tienen una fe irracional? Claro. ¿Algunos escépticos tienen una incredulidad irracional? Por supuesto. Funciona en ambos sentidos.

• God is the very first piece of the Christian Story because the Story is all about Him. He is the central character, not us. The Story is not so much about God's plan for our lives as it is about our lives for God's plan.

• Our reasons for believing Jesus existed and also that He was who He claimed to be - the God who came down - are the same reasons for believing any fact of history: the documentation is substantial and it passes all the tests of historical reliability. Scholars - both liberal and conservative - overwhelming agree that Jesus of Nazareth was a man of history and the Gospels, on the main, tell His story accurately.

• Si el darwinismo es cierto, entonces la vida no tiene propósito ni sentido, no hay moralidad, no hay diferencia cualitativa entre humanos y animales, no hay vida después de la muerte y la historia humana no tiene propósito. Ahora, ¿estás tratando de decirme que en realidad no importa si la gente cree que evolucionamos o no?

• There is no neutral ground when it comes to the tolerance question. Everybody has a point of view she thinks is right, and everybody passes judgment at some point or another. The Christian gets pigeonholed as the judgmental one, but everyone else is judging, too, even people who consider themselves relativists.

• Always make it a goal to keep your conversations cordial. Sometimes that will not be possible. If a principled, charitable expression of your ideas makes someone mad, there’s little you can do about it. Jesus’ teaching made some people furious. Just make sure it’s your ideas that offend and not you, that your beliefs cause the dispute and not your behavior.

• Las cosmovisiones tienen cuatro elementos que nos ayudan a entender cómo encaja la historia de una persona: creación, caída, redención y restauración. La "Creación" nos dice cómo empezaron las cosas, de dónde vino todo (incluidos nosotros), la razón de nuestros orígenes y cómo es la realidad última. La "caída" describe el problema (ya que todos sabemos que algo ha ido mal en el mundo). "Redención" nos da la solución, la forma de arreglar lo que ha ido mal. "Restauración" describe el aspecto que tendrá el mundo una vez que comience la reparación.

• Why so many mentions regarding Jesus from such a wide variety of sources (Pliny, Tacitus, Lucian, Josephus, to name a few)? Because Jesus of Nazareth was a man of history, who made a profound impact on history. There's no good reason to doubt that Jesus existed, or to think the real Jesus was completely different from the one depicted in the Story.

• Toda visión del mundo tiene sus ambigüedades, elementos discutibles sobre los que la gente simplemente no se pone de acuerdo. No hay nada malo en ello, siempre y cuando el desacuerdo se base en principios y sea digno. De hecho, creo que las discusiones -en contraposición a las peleas- son buenas cosas porque son la mejor manera de averiguar qué es verdad. Compartid vuestras razones, escuchaos atentamente, sed amables y que gane la mejor idea.

• Trouble, hardship, difficulty, pain, suffering, conflict, tragedy, evil - they're all part of the [Christian] Story. Indeed, the problem of evil is the reason there's any Story at all.

• In matter-ism (materialism), there can be nothing wrong with the world since there is no right way for the world to be in the first place. Everything is just matter in motion and that's that. In Mind-ism (monism) there's a different route to the same problem. There cannot be a problem of evil, even in principle, since in Mind-ism even morality is maya; illusion. In neither story, then (if we're to be consistent with their principles), can the issue of evil be raised. But in real life the problem comes up all the time. That's the difficulty.

• Our innate, built-in human value is the reason we have binding duties or obligations towards each other that we don't have towards any other kind of thing. It's also the reason we have unalienable human rights. If man's God-given, special value falls, then unalienable human rights fall, too.
