Today, under the pretext of knowledge(gnosis - he is talking about Gnosticism) , heretics rise against the Church of Christ. They pile on their books of commentaries. They claim to interpret the gospel and apostolic texts. If we are silent and do not oppose them with true teaching, famished souls will be fed with their abominations. - Origen

Western Wonders
Exporting Christianity by the sword and Democracy by bombs. – Now there's an oxymoron, if there ever was one...
You know, I was conversating (okay, debating) with a guy one time (I don't remember about what) and I used the term "oxymoron" in reference to one of his statements. He looked me dead in the face, cold serious and said "You're an oxymoron!" It took me a few seconds, as I stared into his angry eyes, to realize that he had no idea what the word "oxymoron" meant. I quickly ended the conversation and never really spoke to him again outside of a few "hello" and "good bye" moments. Thought I would share that with you :)
