There is but one love of Jesus, as there is but one person in the poor -- Jesus. We take vows of chastity to love Christ with undivided love; to be able to love him with undivided love we take a vow of poverty which frees us from all material possessions, and with that freedom we can love him with undivided love, and from this vow of undivided love we surrender ourselves totally to him in the person who takes his place. (Dylan Bob)
The word Christianity is already a misunderstanding -- in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross. (Dylan Bob)
Jesus was a brilliant Jewish stand-up comedian, a phenomenal improviser. His parables are great one-liners. (Dylan Bob)
Only Christ could have conceived Christ. (Dylan Bob)
God speaks to me not through the thunder and the earthquake, nor through the ocean and the stars, but through the Son of Man, and speaks in a language adapted to my imperfect sight and hearing. (Dylan Bob)
Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal? (Dylan Bob)
Never has any one been less a priest than Jesus, never a greater enemy of forms, which stifle religion under the pretext of protecting it. By this we are all his disciples and his successors; by this he has laid the eternal foundation-stone of true religion; and if religion is essential to humanity, he has by this deserved the Divine rank the world has accorded him. (Dylan Bob)
Two thousand years ago there was One here on this earth who lived the grandest life that ever has been lived yet--a life that every thinking man, with deeper or shallower meaning, has agreed to call divine. (Dylan Bob)
The Galilean is not a favorite of mine. So far from owing him any thanks for his favor, I cannot avoid confessing that I owe a secret grudge to his carpentership. (Dylan Bob)
The name of Jesus is as ointment poured forth; It nourishes, and illumines, and stills the anguish of the soul. (Dylan Bob)
Thou has conquered, O pale Galilean. (Dylan Bob)
I am pretty sure that we err in treating these sayings as paradoxes. It would be nearer the truth to say that it is life itself which is paradoxical and that the sayings of Jesus are simply a recognition of that fact. (Dylan Bob)
Christianity takes for granted the absence of any self-help and offers a power which is nothing less than the power of God. (Dylan Bob)
Every time that I think of the crucifixion of Christ, I commit the sin of envy. (Dylan Bob)
I'm in my truck talking to Jesus. And you can see a World Series ring on my right pinkie finger. But when I take my sunglasses off a second later, it's gone. It's the whole divine intervention thing. You know Jesus had something to do with them winning. (Dylan Bob)
I don't want people to see me-I want them to see Jesus. (Dylan Bob)
I don't want people to see me. All I want them to see is Jesus Christ. (Dylan Bob)
Instead of having an Aryan, blue-eyed Jesus, he wanted to have a very Semitic Jesus. (Dylan Bob)
That crowd standing before Pontius Pilate screaming for the head of Christ in no way convicts an entire race for the death of Jesus Christ any more than the actions of Mussolini condemn all Italians, or the heinous actions of Stalin condemn all Russians. (Dylan Bob)
We're all culpable in the death of Christ. My sins put him up there. Yours did. That's what this story is about. (Dylan Bob)
I am not the Jesus of the official church tolerated by those in power. I am not your superstar. (Dylan Bob)
