The church needs to arise not just against total and absolute ignorance, the church also needs to arise against half-truth or falsehood, which is some of the things that are prevailing in our churches today.

About This Quote

The idea that the church, as an institution, needs to arise against total and absolute ignorance is a very strong one. It is also one that can be very easily misunderstood. The word “church” is not used here in the sense of the institutional religious body that most people think of when they think of Christianity. Rather, it refers to what Christians believe about their religion.

As Christians, we believe that there is one God who created the universe and mankind. We believe that God sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins so that mankind could live with him forever in heaven. We believe that the Holy Spirit lives within each person, giving us strength to live life as Christ lives it.

And we believe that Jesus will return again at the end of history to judge those who have lived through this time and those who will continue to live on after it ends. Those are some of the things Christians believe about their religion.
