More tidbits from Kierkegaard

I found this quote particularly poignant ...

Christendom and Counterfeit Christianity by Soren Kierkegaard: "No one can be the truth; only the God-man is the truth. Then comes the next: the ones whose lives express what they proclaim. These are witnesses to the truth. Then come those who disclose what truth is and what it demands but admit that their lives do not express it, but to that extent still are striving. There it ends. Now comes the sophistry. First of all come those who teach the truth but do not live it. Then come those who even alter the truth, its requirement, cut it down, make omissions in order that their lives can correspond to the requirement. These are the real deceivers."
