Christian ethics demand that you should not take revenge. The paradox is, naturally, that Christians worship a God who is the greatest avenger of them all. Defy him and you burn in eternal hell, an act of revenge which is completely out of proportion to the crime ~ Jo Nesbo
Christian Ethics quotes by Jo Nesbo
The Christian ethic played an essential part in my upbringing. ~ David Rockefeller
Christian Ethics quotes by David Rockefeller
Historically, all ethics undoubtedly begin with religion; but I do not now deal with historical questions. I do not ask who was the first lawgiver. I only maintain that it is we, and we alone, who are responsible for adopting or rejecting some suggested moral laws; it is we who must distinguish between the true prophets and the false prophets. All kinds of norms have been claimed to be God-given. If you accept 'Christian' ethics of equality and toleration and freedom of conscience only because of its claim to rest upon divine authority, then you build on a weak basis; for it has been only too often claimed that inequality is willed by God, and that we must not be tolerant with unbelievers. If, however, you accept the Christian ethics not because you are commanded to do so but because of your conviction that it is the right decision to take, then it is you who have decided. ~ Karl Popper
Christian Ethics quotes by Karl Popper
Is Christian ethics merely a specific set of Christian answers to the question of good and evil, right and wrong? To make it no more than this is to forget that man's fall was a fall into the knowledge of good and evil, reinforced by the inexorable knowledge of a condemning law, and that man's restoration in Christ is a restoration to freedom and grace, to a love that needs no law since it knows and does only what is in accord with love and with God. To imprison ethics in the realm of division, of good and evil, right and wrong, is to condemn it to sterility, and rob it of its real reason for existing, which is love. Love cannot be reduced to one virtue among many others prescribed by ethical imperatives. When love is only "a virtue" among many, man forgets that "God is love" and becomes incapable of that all-embracing love by which we secretly begin to know God as our Creator and Redeemer - who has saved us from the limitations of a purely restrictive and aimless existence "under a law."

So Bonhoeffer says very rightly: "In the knowledge of good and evil man does not understand himself in the reality of the destiny appointed in his origin, but rather in his own possibilities, his possibility of being good or evil. He knows himself now as something apart from God, outside God, and this means that he now knows only himself and no longer knows God at all…. The knowledge of good and evil is therefore separation from God. Only against God can man know good and evil. ~ Thomas Merton
Christian Ethics quotes by Thomas Merton
One would like to believe that people who think of themselves as devout Christians would also behave in a manner that is in according with Christian ethics. But pastorally and existentially, I know that this is not the case, and never has been. ~ Richard John Neuhaus
Christian Ethics quotes by Richard John Neuhaus
According to our Christian ethics, we're supposed to love God, love each other and help take care of the poor. It is immoral to charge somebody making $5,000 an income tax. ~ Bob Riley
Christian Ethics quotes by Bob Riley
That the Sadian fantasy situates itself better in the bearers of Christian ethics than elsewhere is what our structural landmarks allow us to grasp easily. But that Sade, himself, refuses to be my neighbor, is what needs to be recalled, not in order to refuse it to him in return, but in order to recognize the meaning of this refusal. We believe that Sade is not close enough to his own wickedness to recognize his neighbor in it. A trait which he shares with many, and notably with Freud. For such is indeed the sole motive of the recoil of beings, sometimes forewarned, before the Christian commandment. For Sade, we see the test of this, crucial in our eyes, in his refusal of the death penalty, which history, if not logic, would suffice to show is one of the corollaries of Charity. ~ Jacques Lacan
Christian Ethics quotes by Jacques Lacan
I knew this guy he'd been in a motorcycle accident and it really ruined him and he was a linesman working on the power
and he was working with someone who had Parkinsons so they both had complimentary inadeqacies and so two of them could do the job of one person
so they're out there fixing powerlines in the freezing cold despite the fact that one was three quarters wrecked and the other one had Parkinsons

That's how our civilization works, there's all these ruined people out there they've got problems like you can't believe,
off they go to work to do things they don't even like and look!
The Lights Are On ~ Jordan B. Peterson
Christian Ethics quotes by Jordan B. Peterson
Fifteen days ago, he'd sat in his Christian Ethics class, rooted in the belief that murder was a grave moral evil. A capital crime punished with eternal damnation. ~ Pepper Winters
Christian Ethics quotes by Pepper Winters
The flame of Christian ethics is still our highest guide. ~ Winston Churchill
Christian Ethics quotes by Winston Churchill
Our society imposes on us a moral duty to live and, hence, to condemn suicide. However, with her apparent admiration for antiquity, Anna may have found her prop in the Greek philosophers, who thought every person should choose for themselves when they die. Nietzsche also considered that the individual had a full moral right to take his own life. He used the word freitod or voluntary death.' Aune raised a pointed index finger. 'But she had to confront another moral dilemma. Revenge. Insofar as she professed to be a Christian, Christian ethics demand that you should not take revenge. The paradox is, naturally, that Christians worship a God who is the greatest avenger of them all. Defy him and you burn in eternal hell, an act of revenge which is completely out of proportion to the crime, almost a case for Amnesty International, if you ask me. ~ Jo Nesbø
Christian Ethics quotes by Jo Nesbø
Christian ethics is not a matter of discovering what's going on in the world and getting in tune with it. It isn't a matter of doing things to earn God's favor. It is not about trying to obey dusty rulebooks from long ago or far away. It is about practicing, in the present, the tunes we shall sing in God's new world. ~ N. T. Wright
Christian Ethics quotes by N. T. Wright
The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings. ~ Albert Schweitzer
Christian Ethics quotes by Albert Schweitzer
I have mentioned the qualitative difference between Christianity as an ethic and Christianity as an identity. Christian ethics goes steadfastly against the grain of what we consider human nature: the first will be last, to him who asks give, turn the other cheek, judge not. Identity on the other hand appeals to a constellation of the worst human impulses. It is worse than ordinary tribalism because it assumes a more than virtuous "us" on one side and on the other a "them" who are very doubtful indeed, who are in fact a threat to all we hold dear. ~ Marilynne Robinson
Christian Ethics quotes by Marilynne Robinson
Christian ethics is not primarily an individualistic, one-on-one-with-God brand of personal holiness; rather it has to do with living the life of the Spirit in Christian community and in the world. ~ Gordon Fee
Christian Ethics quotes by Gordon Fee
I will be guided by the Christian ethic and an awareness that human action is by nature transient. ~ Horst Koehler
Christian Ethics quotes by Horst Koehler
Islam, the third in historical sequence of the ethical monotheistic religions of the Near East, was very successful in establishing its monotheism, but had only very moderate success in spreading its version of Jewish and Christian ethics to the Arabs. ~ Carroll Quigley
Christian Ethics quotes by Carroll Quigley
At the heart of Christian ethic is humility; at the heart of its parodies, pride. Different roads with different destinations, and the destinations color the character of those who travel by them. ~ N. T. Wright
Christian Ethics quotes by N. T. Wright
Clearly, we view Jesus from a considerable historical distance, but, even though Jesus is a historical figure, he is at the same time a timeless figure. He was excruciatingly realistic about human weaknesses, forthright in moral judgment about sin, and active in solving the needs of the poor and hurting. His teachings show how we might be kingdom citizens, and his self-sacrifice shows the extent to which love can go. Indeed, what makes Christian ethics Christian might be summed up in this way: being like the Master and doing as the Master does. ~ Kent A. Van Til
Christian Ethics quotes by Kent A. Van Til
THE CROWN OF CHRISTIAN ETHICS IS THE DOCTRINE OF forgiveness. In it the whole genius of prophetic religion is expressed. Love as forgiveness is the most difficult and impossible of moral achievements. Yet it is a possibility if the impossibility of love is recognized and the sin in the self is acknowledged. Therefore an ethic culminating in an impossible possibility produces its choicest fruit in terms of the doctrine of forgiveness, the demand that the evil in the other shall be borne without vindictiveness because the evil in the self is known. ~ Reinhold Niebuhr
Christian Ethics quotes by Reinhold Niebuhr
Evangelical faith without Christian ethics is a travesty on the gospel. ~ V. Raymond Edman
Christian Ethics quotes by V. Raymond Edman
Thus Christian humanism is as indispensable to the Christian way of life as Christian ethics and a Christian sociology. ~ Christopher Dawson
Christian Ethics quotes by Christopher Dawson
With its continued dismissal of the law of God in ethics, Fundamentalism expressed both a "spiritualized" form of situational ethics and a "Christianly submissive" statism. ~ Greg L. Bahnsen
Christian Ethics quotes by Greg L. Bahnsen
More than that, the doctrine of vocation amounts to a comprehensive doctrine of the Christian life, having to do with faith and sanctification, grace and good works. It is a key to Christian ethics. It shows how Christians can influence their culture. It transfigures ordinary, everyday life with the presence of God. ~ Gene Edward Veith Jr.
Christian Ethics quotes by Gene Edward Veith Jr.
The fundamental defect of Christian ethics consists in the fact that it labels certain classes of acts 'sins' and others 'virtue' on grounds that have nothing to do with their social consequences. ~ Bertrand Russell
Christian Ethics quotes by Bertrand Russell
No secular state ever existed and none would exist until the end of the French Revolution, and so we understand that America was built on the Judeo-Christian ethic and we believe that this nominee is going to see to it that those truths are upheld. ~ Rod Parsley
Christian Ethics quotes by Rod Parsley
Here's the way to destroy your life in sixty seconds or less; convince yourself that something is 'right' simply because you want it to be, and then go act on it. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Christian Ethics quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
It's hard to sin if you're preoccupied with Jesus. ~ Derwin L. Gray
Christian Ethics quotes by Derwin L. Gray
Jesus is both a mirror to our humanity and a window to divinity, a window revealing as much of God as is given mortal eyes to see. When Christians see Christ empowering the weak, scorning the powerful, healing the wounded, and judging their tormentors, we are seeing transparently the power of God at work. ~ William Sloane Coffin
Christian Ethics quotes by William Sloane Coffin
The truth is I've always been a Christian. What's amazing, is that the flaws that come with Christianity are really weird, because mine have a microphone and a camera attached to them. Most people don't have to live under that microscope. ~ Steve Harvey
Christian Ethics quotes by Steve Harvey
There are no snares more dangerous than those which lurk under the guise of duty or the name of relationship. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Christian Ethics quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
To pluck a flower means to take possession of it, and it also means to kill it. ~ Anthony Bloom
Christian Ethics quotes by Anthony Bloom
Forgiveness brings us closer to those who have hurt us and helps them to experience the forgiveness and love of Jesus through us who forgives them. ~ Omoakhuana Anthonia
Christian Ethics quotes by Omoakhuana Anthonia
Most of the people who will walk after me will be children, so make the beat keep time with short steps. ~ Hans Christian Andersen
Christian Ethics quotes by Hans Christian Andersen
Counsel involving right and wrong should never be sought from a man who does not say his prayers. ~ Fulton J. Sheen
Christian Ethics quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
Life is too short, the world is too big and God's love is too great to live ordinary. ~ Christine Caine
Christian Ethics quotes by Christine Caine
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 land. ~ Roger Williams
Christian Ethics quotes by Roger Williams
First, we need to understand theologically that the gospel doesn't just ignite the Christian life, but it's also the fuel that keeps Christians going and growing every day. ~ Tullian Tchividjian
Christian Ethics quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
Let's keep our chins up and our knees down - we're on the victory side. ~ Alan Redpath
Christian Ethics quotes by Alan Redpath
What is reprehensible is that while leading good lives themselves and abhorring those of wicked men, some, fearing to offend, shut their eyes to evil deeds instead of condemning them and pointing out their malice. ~ Saint Augustine
Christian Ethics quotes by Saint Augustine
See that your chief study be about heart, that there God's image may be planted, and his interest advanced, and the interest of the world and flesh subdued, and the love of every sin cast out, and the love of holiness succeed; and that you content not yourselves with seeming to do good in outward acts, when you are bad yourselves, and strangers to the great internal duties. The first and great work of a Christian is about his heart. ~ Richard Baxter
Christian Ethics quotes by Richard Baxter
How can God allow such abominations to flourish unchecked in this world?
The answer came in a question, Ruby.
God, in reply, asked, "How can you? ~ Lisa Wingate
Christian Ethics quotes by Lisa Wingate
The act of extending forgiveness and asking for forgiveness must come from our heart. ~ Sara Dormon
Christian Ethics quotes by Sara Dormon
An Associated Press report by Chicago-based reporter Sharon Cohen in May 1993 examined Christian fundamentalists and concluded that they were prone to 'riots, terrorism - and death.' ~ Ralph E. Reed, Jr.
Christian Ethics quotes by Ralph E. Reed, Jr.
Do not give them a piece of your mind but a piecepiece of God's LOVE ~ Ikechukwu Joseph
Christian Ethics quotes by Ikechukwu Joseph
Good, capable individuals unconsciously and consciously guard and nurture themselves and their spirits every day in all sorts of choices, large and small. Just as their lives are never static, they are rarely if ever fractured. Their morals and ethics are never cut off from the whole of their evolving beings. ~ Donald Van De Mark
Christian Ethics quotes by Donald Van De Mark
And this is also what he takes Christian doctrine, in all its complexity, to be centrally about, that is, teaching an attitude rather than a set of propositions. Call it joyous openness to life. What's not relevant about that? ~ George Pattison
Christian Ethics quotes by George Pattison
A criminal sketch of Christ
on a diner napkin
-'Poet Prophets ~ Amber Koneval
Christian Ethics quotes by Amber Koneval
The love we extend to one another at Christmas, should blossom all year. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Christian Ethics quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Is man's voice in your life stronger than God's voice? ~ Paul Brady
Christian Ethics quotes by Paul Brady
May the light of God's love lead us always through the valleys. ~ Amy E. Tobin
Christian Ethics quotes by Amy E. Tobin
She was an extension of his dreams. A sprinkling of magic dust, of unfeasible wishes, on his stable existence. The one thing-the one bright, marvelous thing-he wanted more than the world, but didn't deserve. However much he was tortured for her sake, however much blood he had spilled to protect her, the bruises to his body and the thrashings to his sanity, it would never be enough to make a wretch like him worthy of such a miracle. ~ V.S. Carnes
Christian Ethics quotes by V.S. Carnes
Sometimes d worst that happens to u produce d best in you ~ Ikechukwu Joseph
Christian Ethics quotes by Ikechukwu Joseph
Whatever else may be thought of the evidence from early Jewish and Gentile writers it does at least establish, for those who refuse the witness of Christian writings, the historical character of Jesus Himself. ~ F.F. Bruce
Christian Ethics quotes by F.F. Bruce
There can be no substitute for a personal study of the Word of God! Daily devotionals, Bible commentaries, and recorded messages by anointed preachers and teachers are wonderful and useful. However, they cannot take the place of the Word of God. They must not replace a time of personal study of the Word. Every Christian individual must study and meditate upon the Word for him or herself. Nobody can do that for anyone else. ~ Pedro Okoro
Christian Ethics quotes by Pedro Okoro
I've asked people why they think God would probably not use them to share the gospel with someone on a "bad" day. A typical reply is, "I wouldn't be worthy," or "I wouldn't be good enough." Such a reply reveals an all-too-common misconception of the Christian life: the thinking that, although we are saved by grace, we earn or forfeit God's blessings in our daily lives by our performance. ~ Jerry Bridges
Christian Ethics quotes by Jerry Bridges
A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to 'accept' Christ without forsaking the world. ~ Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christian Ethics quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
I can chart my own path. However, I've yet to figure out why so many of my paths always seem to lead to the edge of some really big cliffs. Maybe I should consider charting a path out of charting my path. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Christian Ethics quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
The land of delight is holy sanctuary. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
