John Owen on Absolutes

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 8:00 AM


"Without absolutes revealed from without by God Himself, we are left rudderless in a sea of conflicting ideas about manners, justice and right and wrong, issuing from a multitude of self-opinionated thinkers."

Francis Schaeffer on Standards and the State

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Friday, September 4, 2009 at 8:32 AM

“No totalitarian authority nor authoritarian state can tolerate those who have an absolute by which to judge that state and its actions. The Christians had that absolute in God's revelation. Because the Christians had an absolute, universal standard by which to judge not only personal morals but the state, they were counted as enemies of totalitarian Rome and were thrown to the beasts.”

Francis A. Schaeffer
(from: How Should We Then Live?)
