Luther and Lewis

Ye shall be hated by all for my name’s sake, and again, the time cometh when whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. We must remember such sayings and fortify ourselves with them, that we may be made worthy to suffer for His Word. Remember that it has been revealed that at the time of the antichrist no man will be free to preach, and all who teach and hear the Word of God will be deemed accursed.—Martin Luther, Instruction to those Making Confession, 1521

When you are arguing against Him [God] you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 261.
