If you do evil, be afraid;
for he does not bear the sword in vain;
for he is God’s minister,
an avenger to execute wrath
on him who practices evil.
–Romans 13:4 (NKJV)–

A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace.
–Ecclesiastes 3:8 (NKJV)–

I am what I create
Believing in my fate
Integrity is my name
All that I am doing
Can never be ruined
My soul remains insane

Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
For an eye
For an eye

Got to watch my back
Got to let my heart
Believe one day I’ll fly
To reunite the tribe
To find a better way
Envy changes everything

Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
For an eye
For an eye

That’s right

I hit the bottom
You don’t understand
Pain, hate, pain
To be born again
Arise again
I believe is the only way

Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
For an eye
For an eye

–Soulfly, “Eye for an Eye”–

You shall have no other gods before me.
–Exodus 20:3 (NIV)–

Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths.
Rather train yourself for godliness.
–1 Timothy 4:7 (ESV)–

I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
–Jesus Christ in John 14:6 (KJV)–

Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
–Jesus Christ in Matthew 18:6 (KJV)–

The time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions. And will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
–2 Timothy 4:3-4 (ESV)–

His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant,
they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark;
sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
–Isaiah 56:10 (KJV)–

I HAVE THE DEEPEST RESPECT EVEN FOR PAGAN MYTHS,
STILL MORE FOR MYTHS IN HOLY SCRIPTURE.
–C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain (Macmillan, 1947), p. 59–

I CANNOT GIVE PEDERASTY (PEDOPHILIA) 
ANYTHING LIKE A FIRST PLACE AMONG THE EVILS…
I THINK THAT OF VERY LITTLE RELEVANCE
TO MORAL JUDGMENT.
–C. S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy (Harcourt Brace & Co, 1955), p. 104–

He who loves father or mother
more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he who loves son or daughter
more than Me is not worthy of Me.
–Matthew 10:37 (NKJV)–

Be still,
and know that I am God.
–Psalm 46:10 (NKJV)–

The Spirit Himself bears witness
with our spirit that we are children of God.
–Romans 8:16 (NKJV)–

Looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith.
–Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV)–

⁴ Surely he hath borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows: and we have thought him as it were a leper, and as one struck by God and afflicted. ⁵ But he was wounded for our iniquities, he was bruised for our sins: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his bruises we are healed. ⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray, every one hath turned aside into his own way: and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
–Isaiah 53:4-6 (Douay-Rheims)–

The Romish doctrine concerning purgatory, pardon, worshiping, and adoration, as well of images as of relics, and also invocation of saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warrant of Scripture,
but repugnant to the Word of God.
–The Articles of Religion,
XIV. Of Purgatory.–

The pope cannot remit any guilt, except by declaring and showing that it has been remitted by God; or, to be sure, by remitting guilt in cases reserved to his judgment. If his right to grant remission in these cases were disregarded, the guilt would certainly remain unforgiven.
–Martin Luther,
The 95 Theses–

The Catholic Encyclopedia, “Antinomianism.” The bibliography of this article refers favorably to Samuel Rutherford, Richard Baxter, and John Fletcher–the first two were Puritan preachers, the last was a Methodist preacher and a personal friend of John Wesley. Puritanism and Wesleyanism are agreed with Catholicism against all forms of antinomianism (cheap grace and easy-believism). In other words, there is agreement that Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection are meant to accomplish salvation from Hell, and the forgiveness of believers’ sins, which result in real communion with the Spirit of God, a transformed life, and growth in holiness and obedience to God through Scripture reading.
