I urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. Jude 3 |
You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me. John 18:37 |
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 |
For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 2 Peter 1:16 |

Interesting that I just used this quote with a skeptic a few days ago, here's a more complete version:
"There is sufficient light for those who wish to see, and sufficient darkness for those of the opposite disposition. Enough clarity to illumine the elect, and enough darkness to keep them humble. Sufficient darkness to blind the reprobate, and sufficient clarity to condemn them and make them inexcusable." ~BLAISE PASCAL
Pascal was a Jansen, they were Catholics who held to the Augustinian understanding of predestination. Of course the Popes condemned Jansenism because it was too close to reformed theology for their tastes. Hence the RCC deemed Pascal a heretic.
