p. 114. "For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to younder place, and it shal remove; and nothing shal be impossible unto you."
p. 117. "To start with Augustine's definition, a miracle is anything that happens contra quam est not natura - that is, in defiance of the natural laws known to us.
Note: cures came first, then the miracles.
p. 125. "Jesus remarked bitterly: 'No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment.' New ideas never suit the stubborn mentality of the conservative, rooted in his traditional customs."
cf: grafting new solutions onto an old system. also: new wine into an old bottle. |
