More quotes by Roger Williams
When in doubt, try nutrition first.
Roger Williams
God is too large to be housed under one roof.
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
Sometimes the truth is stupid.
Roger Williams
Consider England. Within a few score years how many unsettling changes in religion has the whole kingdom made, according to the change of its rulers, in the various religions which they embraced.
Roger Williams
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.
Roger Williams
The human body heals itself and nutrition provides the resources to accomplish the task.
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
Having bought truth dear, we must not sell it cheap, not the least grain of it for the whole world.
Roger Williams
Reflect upon your own spirit, and believe Him that said it to His overzealous disciples, 'You know not what spirit you are of.'
Roger Williams
When in doubt, use nutrition first.
