“It’s a reprehensible idea that seems, on the surface, virtuous.” “That describes almost everything the Every does.”
― Dave Eggers, The Every

“Yahweh had chosen to accomplish his ends through imagers loyal to him against imagers who weren’t. This commitment to humanity, his original imagers on earth, is one often-missed reason why, when humanity (Israel) failed to restore God’s rule, God took matters into his own hands by becoming human in Jesus Christ.”
― Dr. Michael Heiser, The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible

“The Christian canon consists of two different, separate voices, indeed of two different choirs of voices. The Old Testament is the voice of Israel, the New that of the church. But beyond this, the voice of the New Testament is largely that of a transformed Old Testament which is now understood in the light of the gospel.”
― Brevard S. Childs, Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments: Theological Reflection on the Christian Bible

“Envy is secret admiration. An admirer who feels that he cannot become happy by abandoning himself to it chooses to be envious of that which he admires. So he speaks another language wherein that which he actually admires is a trifle, a rather stupid, insipid, peculiar, and exaggerated thing. Admiration is happy self-surrender; envy is unhappy self-assertion.”
― Kierkegaard, Sören
