Aphorisms of Albert Emanuel
Scripture
When you enter scripture you are walking through the mind of God
Wisdom
Jesus told us to be wise as serpents not dumb as sheep.
Obedience
We cannot earn our salvation by obedience but we can lose our salvation by disobedience.
Feminist Theologian
A feminist theologian is just another Eve handing the church an apple.
Psychology
Integrating Christianity with psychology is like trying to integrate light with darkness.
Postmodern Theologians
A postmodern theologian is a magician who transforms speculation into revelation.
Ecumenism
Achieving unity among heretics does not advance the cause of Christianity.
John Henry Newman
John Henry Newman was right that to be protestant is to ignore history
but he should have added that to be catholic is to ignore scripture.
The Purpose Driven Life
I would rather be led by the Holy Spirit than purpose driven by rick warren.
Intelligence
Better to be a dumb Christian than a brilliant atheist.
Seminary
A seminary is a theological circus
filled with exegetical clowns
running around in hermeneutic circles.
John Calvin
Beware of French lawyers who offer you a bouquet of tulips.
John Wesley
John Wesley's condemnation of Calvinism stands as a monument to the truth.
Christianity
An ounce of Christianity is worth a pound of salvation.
Wealth
Evangelicals worship the same God. His name is money.
Heretics
When fighting heretics.....theologize with a hammer.
Worldliness
Rather than coming out of the world, Christians became the world.
Abortion
Nations that legalize abortion have no right to call themselves civilized.
Hell
Those who teach that the fate of the wicked is eternal torment and torture in hell
are misrepresenting God and casting aspersions upon His character.
False Doctrine
Sometimes you have to throw out the pig with the slop.
Postmortem Salvation
If God intends to save the vast majority of mankind,
then postmortem salvation becomes a theological necessity.
Theology
Don't make a theological mountain out of a scriptural molehill.
Preaching
When you spare the Word you spoil the Christian.
Sinner
Don't bother being a sinner. It's not worth the effort.
Lies
It only takes a few seconds for a lie to enter your mind,
but it can take a lifetime to remove it.
Temptation
Most Christians function like electricity.
They follow the path of least resistance.
Satan
Satan has deceived the whole world
and most of the Christian churches.
Atheism
Atheism is the opium of intellectuals.
Conversion
Protestants convinced me not to become a Catholic
and Catholics convinced me not to become a Protestant.
So I became a Christian.
