God created the possibility of evil people actualized that potentiality. The source of evil is not God's power but mankind's freedom. Even an all-powerful God could not have created a world in which people had genuine freedom and yet there was no potentiality for sin, because our freedom includes the possibility of sin within its own meaning.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Envy, though not the greatest sin, is the only one that gives the sinner no pleasure at all, not even fake and temporary satisfaction.
Peter Kreeft
Image
All human beings have a right to life. Our unborn children are members of the human race. They're human beings, so they have a right to life.
Peter Kreeft
Image
God calls us, just as he called Abraham, away from the security we knew, out of our old, familiar, little room, down the ladder of faith and into his arms. Jesus called his disciples that way - just as a lover elopes with his beloved.

Original sin is the proclivity to say my will be done instead of thy will be done.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Christ is the Word of God in person. The Bible is the Word of God in writing. Both are the Word of God in the words of men. Both have a human nature and a divine nature.

The key to faith is love. We believe only if we love. Trust is the middle term only if we love, do we trust and only if we trust, do we believe.

Do you know any better way to make saints than to be one yourself?

Life is always fatal. No one gets out of it alive

The modern mind always tends to reduce the greater to the lesser rather than seeing the lesser as reflecting the greater.

Subtract miracles from Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, or Toaism, and you have essentially the same religion left. Subtract miracles from Christianity, and you have nothing but the cliches and platitudes most American Christians get weekly (and weakly) from their pulpits.

Now if the religious skeptic is right, we can know nothing about God. And if we can know nothing about God, how can we know God so well that we can know that he cannot be known? How can we know that God cannot and did not reveal himself—and perhaps even through human reason?

If a person claims to have met Jesus without being changed then they have not met the real Jesus.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Our culture has filled our heads but emptied our hearts, stuffed our wallets but starved our wonder. It has fed our thirst for facts but not for meaning or mystery. It produces nice people, not heroes.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The secret of joy is hidden in the word itself: first J, then O, then Y: Jesus first, Others next, Yourself last.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.

Love is the binding force on every level of existence.

It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can’t refuse.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.

We can't avoid reasoning we can only avoid doing it well.
