I do not condone hostility toward any church simply to vent personal malice or umbrage.
Roger Williams
Image
How frequent, how constant ought we to be, like Christ Jesus our example, in doing good, especially to the souls of men and especially to the household of faith (yea, even to our enemies), when we remember that this is our seed time, of which every minute is precious, and that as our sowing is, so shall be our eternal harvest.

This scripture [Romans 13:1-6] is wrested from the scope of God's Spirit, and the nature of the place, and cannot truly be interpreted to mean that the power of the civil magistrate may be exercised in spiritual or soul matters.
Roger Williams
Image
If the civil magistrate be a Christian, a disciple or follower of the meek Lamb of God, he is bound to be far from destroying the bodies of men for refusing to receive the Lord Jesus Christ: for otherwise he would be ignorant of the sweet end of Christ's coming, which was to save the bodies and souls of men.

God requireth not an uniformity of Religion to be inacted and inforced in any civill state.
Roger Williams
Image
Some eminent witnesses of God's truth believe that before the downfall of Antichrist [which virtually all Reformers construed to be Romanism], England must once again bow down her fair neck to his proud usurping yoke and foot.
Roger Williams
Image
No man ever did, nor ever shall, truly go forth to convert the nations, nor to prophesy in the present state of witnesses against Antichrist, but by the gracious inspiration and instigation of the Holy Spirit of God.... I know no other True Sender, but the most Holy Spirit.

The greatest crime is not developing your potential. When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself, but the world.
Roger Williams
Image
God is too large to be housed under one roof.
Roger Williams
Image
A false religion out of the church will not hurt the church, any more than weeds in the wilderness hurt an enclosed garden, or poisons hurt the body when they are not taken, and antidotes are received against them.
Roger Williams
Image
There is no regularly constituted church of Christ on earth, nor any person qualified to administer any church ordinances nor can there be until new apostles are sent by the Great Head of the Church for whose coming I am seeking.
Roger Williams
Image
The ministry or service of prophets and witnesses, mourning and prophesying in sackcloth, God has directly commissioned and upheld all during the reign of the beast and antichrist of Rome. This witness is probably near finished, and the bloody storm of slaughter is yet to be expected and prepared for.

Sometimes the truth is stupid.
Roger Williams
Image
While I deplored and denounced the incivilities of Quakerism in my day (such as the going naked in public by some at sundry times), my position regarding their religious views was, They will answer to God, at their own peril, in the great day approaching [that is, the day of divine judgment].
Roger Williams
Image
Having bought truth dear, we must not sell it cheap, not the least grain of it for the whole world.
Roger Williams
Image
All who are entrusted with spiritual and temporal talents must lay them out for the Lord and Master's advantage.
Roger Williams

Forced worship stinks in God's nostrils
Roger Williams
Image
That cannot be a true religion which needs carnal weapons to uphold it.
Roger Williams
Image
The natives are very exact and punctual in the bounds of their lands, belonging to this or that prince or people, even to a river, brook, &c. And I have known them make bargain and sale amongst themselves for a small piece or quantity of ground notwithstanding a sinful opinion amongst many, that christians have right to heathen's lands.
