Top Arminians Quotes

Arminians Quotes By Jude Morgan

Country picnics always sound nicer than they are. I think we should just have the idea of them, and be pleased with it, and then not go. The only true pleasures are indoors, artificial, and untainted with healthiness. — Jude Morgan

Arminians Quotes By Anita Roddick

Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform, or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value. — Anita Roddick

Arminians Quotes By Rachel Held Evans

When I was a little girl, if someone asked me why I was a Christian, I said it was because Jesus lived in my heart. In high school, I said it was because I accepted the atonement of Jesus Christ on the cross for my sins. My sophomore year of college, during a short-lived Reformed phase, I said it was because of the irresistible grace of God. But after watching Zarmina's execution on television, I decided that the most truthful answer to that question was this: I was a Christian because I was born in the United States of America in the year 1981 to Peter and Robin Held. Arminians call it free will; Calvinists call it predestination. I call it the cosmic lottery. — Rachel Held Evans

Arminians Quotes By Gregory A. Boyd

Most Christians throughout history have believed that God knows everything that is to come. This is often referred to as the "classical" view of divine foreknowledge, and it is still what the majority of evangelicals believe. There are, however, a number of variations within the classical view. Some, called Calvinists, believe that God foreknows all that shall come to pass because he has predestined it. Others, called Arminians, believe God foreknows all things simply because they shall come to pass, though humans to some extent determine it by their free will. — Gregory A. Boyd

Arminians Quotes By Amy Carmichael

The Calvinists illustrate their belief by a single illuminating word, Cat-hold, and the Arminians by another, Monkey-hold. Could you find better illustrations? The cat takes up the kitten and carries it in its mouth; the kitten is passive, the cat does everything. But the little monkey holds on to its mother, and clings with might and main. Those who have watched the "cat-hold" in the house, and the "monkey-hold" out in the jungle, can appreciate the accuracy of these two illustrations. — Amy Carmichael

Arminians Quotes By Chris Lynch

This is the saddest place on Earth," I say.
"Take it from a rat, kid
there are lots of saddest places on Earth. — Chris Lynch

Arminians Quotes By Richard D. Phillips

If we think of the atonement as a bridge spanning a great river, Arminians see it as infinitely wide, but not reaching all the way to the far bank; Calvinists hold that the atonement is a narrow bridge, wide enough only for the elect, but reaching all the way to the other side. We believe that Christ's death actually saves those for whom He died. — Richard D. Phillips

Arminians Quotes By Samuel Rutherford

When either grace is turned into painted, but rotten nature, as Arminians do, or into wantonness, as others do, the error to me is of a far other and higher elevation, than opinions touching church government. Tenacious adhering to Antinomian errors, with an obstinate and final persistence in them, both as touching faith to, and suitable practice of them, I shall think, cannot be fathered upon any of the regenerated; for it is an opinion not in the margin and borders, but in the page and body, and too near the centre and vital parts of the gospel. — Samuel Rutherford

Arminians Quotes By Karl Lagerfeld

Fashion designers are dictators of taste. — Karl Lagerfeld

Arminians Quotes By Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Whether you are Calvinists, or Arminians, or anything else, dear friends, be first and chiefly Christians - Christians - following Christ, receiving him as the great Expositor to you of God, and of the great truths of revelation. You will tell me you have your "bodies of divinity;" there never was but one "body of divinity," and that was the "body" of the man, Christ
Jesus; do you, abating all prejudices and self-formed opinions, receive our Lord as the great embodiment of truth. — Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Arminians Quotes By Augustus Hopkins Strong

In opposition to the plenary ability taught by the Pelagians, the gracious ability of the Arminians, and the natural ability of the New School theologians, the Scriptures declare the total inability of the sinner to turn himself to God or to do that which is truly good in God's sight — Augustus Hopkins Strong

Arminians Quotes By John Owen

Arminians pretend, very speciously, that Christ died for all men, yet, in effect, they make him die for no one man at all. — John Owen

Arminians Quotes By Jeanette Winterson

I sat at the back, listening to the music or mumbling through the sevice. I'm never tempted by God, but I like his trappings. — Jeanette Winterson

Arminians Quotes By Bill Gates

When I walk into a grocery store and look at all the products you can choose, I say, "My God!" No king ever had anything like I have in my grocery store today. — Bill Gates

Arminians Quotes By Hermann Broch

The irrational invalidates any meaning attached to it. — Hermann Broch

Arminians Quotes By John Flavel

Let all Arminians know: we have as high an esteem for faith as any men in the world, but yet we will not rob Christ to clothe faith. — John Flavel
