| | Saint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Santería, saints are syncretised with Yoruban deities, and are equally worshipped in churches (where they appear as saints) and in Santería religious festivities, where they appear as deities (orishas); however, this practice is condemned by the Roman Catholic Church. | | | Saints are believed to have a power of intercession with God (Allah), and thus the ability to perform miracles and to give power or blessings known as baraka. | | | Saints are venerated and loved and asked to intercede for our salvation, but it should be clearly understood that they are not Worshiped; their holiness is from God who alone is worthy of Adoration. |

| | Of Course Mormonism Is Christian - FARMS Review |
| | The Latter-day Saints themselves claim that their church is a restoration of the original church Christ established in the time of the apostles. | | | Nearly all Christians misunderstand parts of the Bible, even though they have read them in sincere faith, and Christ at the last day is unlikely to ask those who visit the widows and the fatherless in their affliction whether they also know and believe the writings of Habakkuk. | | | There are difficulties with the idea that Christianity is a different religion from Judaism, however often we may talk as though it is. The distinction is nowhere near as tidy as the distinction between, say, Christianity and Buddhism. |

| | He is not the philosophic scholar meditating in silence and retirement on the truths of the Christian Faith, but the strenuous administrator, bishop, and statesman, whose writings are only the mature expression of his official life and labours. | | | The tyrant received Ambrose unfavourably and, on the plea, very honourable to the Saint, that he refused to hold communion with the bishops who had compassed the death of Priscillian (the first instance of capital punishment inflicted for heresy by a Christian prince) dismissed him summarily from his court. | | | The Saint finally acquiesced, received baptism at the hands of a Catholic bishop, and eight day later, 7 December 374, the day on which East and West annually honour his memory, after the necessary preliminary degrees was consecrated bishop. |

| | The Benefit of Christ Crucified, by Don Benedetto |
| | Moreover we say with Saint Paul, that all true Christians (that is to say those that believeth the Gospel) have not received the spirit of the world; but the Spirit which cometh of God, by whose inspiration they know the things that are given to them of God. | | | Saint Hilary, upon Saint Matthew in the fifth canon, saith, that God will that without any doubt of unconstant will, we do believe; for otherwise justification through faith is not obtained if the selfsame faith be doubtful. | | | I say, that the Christian knoweth Christ to be his by faith, with all his righteousness, holiness, and innocency. |

| | To Kildare came the greatest of the saints and mystics and bishops of that age, to consult the famous Abbess; for that was her rank. | | | The Gaelic hymns in Brigid's honour, made in the age of saints and scholars, have more of the fervour with which she was remembered and reverenced. | | | So moving an act of faith and loyalty well might move the Christian priest (himself, perhaps, one of Patrick's Gauls) who was called by a miserable woman in a byre to bring her babe the first sacrament of life. |
