The Gospels Quotes

“Many theologians believe the Gospel writers include miracle stories in order to prove that Jesus is divine. But miracles are not proof of deity. Many Old Testament prophets heal people and even raise them from the dead, yet they are mere mortals. Jesus's miracle ministry is a demonstration that the kingdom of God has arrived.”
― R. Alan Streett, Heaven on Earth: Experiencing the Kingdom of God in the Here and Now

“We don’t need the gospels, we need the fiery men who wrote them!”
― Rudolfo Anaya, Heart of Aztlan

“It became clear to him that all the dreadful evil he had been witnessing in prisons and jails and the quiet self-satisfaction of the perpetrators of this evil were the consequences of men trying to do what was impossible; trying to correct evil while being evil themselves...Now he saw clearly what all the terrors he had seen came from, and what ought to be done to put a stop to them. The answer he could not find was the same that Christ gave to Peter. It was that we should forgive always an infinite number of times because there are no men who have not sinned themselves, and therefore none can punish or correct others.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“This Gospel recenters the significance of Israel’s sacred times and spaces on Jesus.”
