Fallen World Quotes

• Soy un superviviente deshilachado y mordisqueado en un mundo caído, y me las apaño. He envejecido y he comido, y también he comido lo mío. No estoy lavada y hermosa, en control de un mundo resplandeciente en el que todo encaja, sino que me asombro sobre una ruina astillada que he llegado a cuidar, cuyos árboles roídos respiran un aire delicado, cuyas criaturas ensangrentadas y llenas de cicatrices son mis más queridas compañeras, y cuya belleza murmura y brilla no en sus imperfecciones sino abrumadoramente a pesar de ellas.

• To show mercy is not naïve. To hold out against the end of hope is not stupidity or madness. It is fundamentally human. Of course... We are all doomed; we are all poisoned from our birth by the rot of stars. That does not mean we should succumb...to the seductive fallacy of despair, the dark tide that would drown us. You may think I'm stupid, you may call me a madman and a fool, but at least I stand upright in a fallen world.

• The biblical picture is not one of an upward, linear progress or a precipitous, downward decline. It is a more complicated picture of a fallen world in which there is a gospel of power.

• The question of why evil exists is not a theological question, for it assumes that it is possible to go behind the existence forced upon us as sinners. If we could answer it then we would not be sinners. We could make something else responsible...The theological question does not arise about the origin of evil but about the real overcoming of evil on the Cross; it ask for the forgiveness of guilt, for the reconciliation of the fallen world

• En un mundo caído, marcado por la depravación humana y el pecado profundamente arraigado, en un mundo en el que Hitler y Stalin habían reclutado a millones de seguidores para cometer asesinatos en masa, el amor debía aprovechar el poder y buscar la justicia para tener sentido moral. El amor sin poder seguía siendo impotente, y el poder sin amor estaba en bancarrota.

• The Bible is clear here: I am to love my neighbor as myself, in the manner needed, in a practical way, in the midst of the fallen world, at my particular point of history. This is why I am not a pacifist. Pacifism in this poor world in which we live -- this lost world -- means that we desert the people who need our greatest help.

  Francis Schaeffer

• The cynics, they can only speak of the dark, of the obvious, and this is not hard. For all it's supposed sophistication, it's cynicism that's simplistic. In a fallen world, how profound is

• Los cínicos, sólo pueden hablar de lo oscuro, de lo obvio, y esto no es difícil. A pesar de su supuesta sofisticación, el cinismo es simplista. En un mundo caído, ¿qué tan profundo es ver las grietas? Los sabios y los profetas, los discípulos y los revolucionarios, son los que están en las murallas, en el muro, señalando el amanecer del nuevo Reino que viene, señalando la luz que se abre paso a través de todas las cosas rotas, señalando la redención que siempre se levanta y al Dios abrasador que nunca duerme.

• Sorrow is God's plowshare that turns up and subsoils the depths of the soul, that it may yield richer harvests. If we had never fallen, or were in a glorified state, then the strong torrents of Divine joy would be the normal force to open up all our souls' capacities; but in a fallen world, sorrow, with despair taken out of it, is the chosen power to reveal ourselves to ourselves. Hence it is sorrow that makes us think deeply, long, and soberly.

• When mourning the loss of our departed friends, I cannot help but think that in every death there is a birth; the spirit leaves the body dead to us, and passes to the other side of the veil alive to that great and noble company that are also working for the accomplishment of the purpose of God, in the redemption and salvation of a fallen world.
