joeb Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The following quotes were made by 3 different people. Who are they, and which quote/s did they make? "The insanity of the Christian doctrine of redemption really doesn't fit at all into our time. Nevertheless there are learned, educated men, occupying high positions in public life, who cling to it with the faith of a child. It is simply incomprehensible how anybody can consider the Christian doctrine of redemption as a guide for the difficult life of today." "If you board the wrong train it is of no use running along the corridor in the opposite direction." "The church has only one altar, the altar of the Almighty...before which all creatures must kneel. Whoever seeks something other than this must keep away, he cannot join us in the house of God...The church has only one pulpit, and from that pupit, faith in God will be preached, and no other faith, and no other will than the will of God, however well-intentioned." "It is much easier for me to imagine a praying murderer, a praying prostitute, than a vain person praying. Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity." "It's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?" Quote Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith.Alexis de Tocqueville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Gail Posted April 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 24, 2013 You should do that as a game using quotes you've seen on Clubadventist! I think that we would be able to give good guesses as to who writes what, although Robert is no longer with us. His posts are pretty recognizable! Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that we would be able to give good guesses as to who writes what, although Robert is no longer with us. His posts are pretty recognizable! I think that would be too easy. Even these quotes don't seem to pose much of a challenge, and they're fairly obscure.

joeb Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Well read. I have always loved history and even have a Masters in American history. Ahhh. Great minds and all that.... I'm another history buff. I don't have a degree in it, but over the years I've read a lot of books on history and people who have done a lot to change to world. I'd estimate it's more than 300-400 books. A lot of those are on US history and the founding fathers.
