Theological Quotes - Page 8

• Para mí, el Evangelio no es una gran masa de jerga teológica. Es algo sencillo, bello y lógico, con una verdad tranquila que sigue a otra en una secuencia ordenada. No me preocupo por los misterios. No me preocupa si las puertas celestiales se abren o se cierran. Sólo me preocupa que se abran.

  Gordon B. Hinckley

  Bonito, Sencillo, Columpios

• Of learned men, the clergy show the lowest development of professional ethics. Any pastor is free to cadge customers from the divines of rival sects, and to denounce the divines themselves as theological quacks.

• It is often lamented by the churchmen that Washington and Lincoln possessed little religion except that found in the word 'God.' All that can here be affirmed is that what the religion of those two men lacked in theological details it made up in greatness. Their minds were born with a love of great principles... There are few instances in which a mind great enough to reach great principles in politics has been satisfied with a fanatical religion... It must not be asked for Washington and Lincoln that, having reached greatness in political principles, they should have loved littleness in piety.

• Si tenemos que jugar al juego teológico, no olvidemos nunca que se trata de un juego. Me parece que la religión sólo puede sobrevivir como un sistema de fantasía conscientemente aceptado.

• La teología no es una asignatura. No digo que los profesores de teología no sean profesores. Hacen cosas interesantes, como estudiar la historia bíblica, la literatura bíblica. Pero la teología, el estudio de los dioses, el estudio de lo que hacen los dioses, presupone que los dioses existen. El único tipo de teología que tengo en cuenta son los argumentos teológicos que realmente defienden la existencia de Dios.

• I always felt that organized religion was just basically a theological insurance scam where they're saying if you spend time with us, guess what, you're going to live forever, you're going to go to some other plain where you're going to be so happy, you'll just be happy all the time, which is also kind of a scary idea to me.

• Una fe firme en la providencia universal de Dios es la solución de todos los problemas terrenales. Es casi igualmente cierto que una comprensión clara y plena de la providencia universal de Dios es la solución de la mayoría de los problemas teológicos.

• Faith is not logical. But it isn't illogical either. Faith is theological. It does not ignore reality; it just adds God into the equation.

• These teachings in regard to woman so faithfully reflect the provisions of the canon law that it is fair to infer that their inspiration came from the same source, written by men, translated by men, revised by men. If the Bible is to be placed in the hands of our children, read in our schools, taught in our theological seminaries, proclaimed as God's law in our temples of worship, let us by all means call a council of women in New York, and give it one more revision from the woman's standpoint.

• Theology is Anthropology... [T]he distinction which is made, or rather supposed to be made, between the theological and anthropological predicates resolves itself into an absurdity.

• Nuestros jóvenes están enfermos con los problemas teológicos del pecado original, el origen del mal, la predestinación y otros similares. Éstos nunca presentaron una dificultad práctica a ningún hombre, nunca oscurecieron el camino de ningún hombre que no se saliera de su camino para buscarlos. Son las paperas, el sarampión y la tos ferina del alma, y quienes no las han contraído no pueden describir su salud ni prescribir una cura. Una mente simple no conocerá a estos enemigos.

• If theological ideas prove to have a value for concrete life, they will be true, for pragmatism, in the sense of being good for so much. How much more they are true, will depend entirely on their relations to the other truths that also have to be acknowledged.

• I have to try to remind people on both sides of the barque of Peter that there is room for us all and that we are not the first generation of Catholics to experience serious theological and pastoral differences of opinion. In fact, from the New Testament, strong leaders within the church disagreed openly. Eventually, the truly great ones found ways to heal conflicts and keep the Lord's flock united.

• I go to a church here in New Jersey that is just a very exciting place, and I just love to be there on Sunday morning - I just sit there in a pew with my wife, that's all I do, but I'm very much a part of that congregation. We've got a fantastic rector,she brings in people from places like the United Theological Seminary in New Brighton, Minnesota, where you've got good teaching, and our people are being introduced to great material and they really respond. They're able to believe without crossing their fingers. And I think that's a real step forward.

• Heresy is usually quite sophisticated, actually has a meaning, and is to be taken very seriously. It is therefore to be carefully distinguished from turgid, pretentious, badly-written Bullsgeshichte, to use the technical German theological term.
