More quotes by Roger Williams
All who are entrusted with spiritual and temporal talents must lay them out for the Lord and Master's advantage.
Roger Williams
When in doubt, use nutrition first.
Roger Williams
Having bought truth dear, we must not sell it cheap, not the least grain of it for the whole world.
Roger Williams
Pray that no sleep may seize upon your eyes, nor slumber upon your eyelids until your thoughts have seriously, calmly, and unchangably fixed.
Roger Williams
All civil states, with their officers of justice, in their respective constitutions and administrations, are proved essentially civil, and therefore not judges, governors, or defenders of the spiritual, or Christian, state and worship.
Roger Williams
It is but little of the world yet that hath heard the lost estate of mankind and of a Savior, Christ Jesus and as yet the fullness of the gentiles has not come, and probably shall not until the downfall of the Papacy.
Roger Williams
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.
Roger Williams
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.
Roger Williams
That cannot be a true religion which needs carnal weapons to uphold it.
Roger Williams
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
When in doubt, try nutrition first.
Roger Williams
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.
Roger Williams
The human body heals itself and nutrition provides the resources to accomplish the task.
Roger Williams
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
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
When they have opened a gap in the ... wall of separation between the Garden of the Church and the wildernes of the world, God hath ever ... made his Garden a Wildernesse.
Roger Williams
Sometimes the truth is stupid.
Roger Williams
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
God requireth not an uniformity of Religion to be inacted and inforced in any civill state.
Roger Williams
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.
