Peter Kreeft

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
If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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
Image
Like white light refracted through a prism and split into many colors, God's eternal love-nature, expressed through the prism of time, becomes God's multicolored love story. History is His story.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Science only answers the question, How does it work? Or at most, What's there? Science asks what and how, philosophy asks why, myth and religion ask who. Who's in charge here? Who's the author? That's what we really long to know.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Ethics without virtue is an illusion. What is the highest purpose of ethics? It is to make a person good, that is virtuous.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Like apes, we breed, sleep, and die. Yet like God we say, I am. We are ontological oxymorons.
Peter Kreeft
Image
How will the Tower of Babel be undone? How will we understand each other in Heaven? Will we all speak English or Dutch or Latin? No, we will speak music.
