Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask - half our great theological and metaphysical problems - are like that.

The proper rewards are not simply tacked on to the activity for which they are given, but are the activity itself in consummation.

Now repentance is no fun at all. It is something much harder than merely eating humble pie. It means unlearning all the self-conceit and self-will that we have been training ourselves into for thousands of years. It means undergoing a kind of death. In fact, it needs a good man to repent. And here's the catch. Only a bad person needs to repent: only a good person can repent perfectly. The worse you are the more you need it and the less you can do it. The only person who could do it perfectly would be a perfect person - and he would not need it.

Nothing is yet in its true form.

Man is not the centre. God does not exist for the sake of man. Man does not exist for his own sake.

The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.

Christianity has not message for those who do not realize they are sinners.
