More quotes by Peter Kreeft
All of history is a kind of broken marriage and God puts it back together again.
Peter Kreeft
No emotion, merely as an emotion, is a sin, because we cannot directly control the arising of an emotion in our soul.
Peter Kreeft
True love, unlike popular sentimental substitutes, is willing to suffer. Love is not luv. Love is the cross. Our problem at first, the sheer problem of suffering, was a cross without Christ. We must never fall into the opposite and equal trap of a Christ without a cross.
Peter Kreeft
The block of marble is not the sculptor, and doesn't see that he's about to become a masterpiece... We're the block of marble and God is the sculptor, and the chisel is.... everything.
Peter Kreeft
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
God allows unjust disparities between rich and poor because He does not miraculously intervene to establish justice against human wills. Also, discrepancies are not unjust by themselves justice does not mean equality of result but equality of opportunity.
Peter Kreeft
It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can’t refuse.
Peter Kreeft
Since we are [Christ's] body, we too are the bread that is broken for others. Our failures help heal other lives our very tears help wipe away tears our being hated helps those we love.
Peter Kreeft
Like apes, we breed, sleep, and die. Yet like God we say, I am. We are ontological oxymorons.
Peter Kreeft
If we had absolute proof instead of clues, then you could no more deny God than you could deny the sun. If we had no evidence at all, you could never get there. God gives us just enough evidence so that those who want him can have him.
Peter Kreeft
The self is like a baseball. Throw it back to the divine pitcher who pitched it to you in the first place, and the game of love goes on. Hold it, and the game is over. That is the difference between Heaven and Hell.
Peter Kreeft
Not all Tolkien haters are Orcs, but all Orcs are Tolkien haters.
Peter Kreeft
Other religions are stories of man's search for God. The Bible is the story of God's search for man.
Peter Kreeft
Suffering is not blessed because it is suffering but because it is [Christ's]. Suffering is not the context that explains the cross the cross is the context that explains suffering.
Peter Kreeft
We do not do good works to get into heaven we do good works because heaven has gotten to us.
Peter Kreeft
We can't avoid reasoning we can only avoid doing it well.
Peter Kreeft
Atheists in C.S. Lewis' day were as snobbish and arrogant as they are now, but better educated and more capable of debate.
Peter Kreeft
It is said that there are three sources of evil, the world, the flesh, and the Devil but the world and the flesh would be innocent were it not for the Devil.
Peter Kreeft
Faith is not like bottled water but like rain. Its destiny is not just to be kept and held but to make something visible grow.
Peter Kreeft
When you give yourself away you find that a new and more real self has somehow been given to you.
