Honest People

Honest People

by Robert

There were honest people long before there were Christians and there are, God be praised, still honest people where there are no Christians. It could therefore easily be possible that people are Christians because true Christianity corresponds to what they would have been even if Christianity did not exist.
그리스도인들이 있기 오래 전에 정직한 사람들이 있었고, 그리스도인이 없는 곳에는 하나님이 찬양을 받으시고, 여전히 정직한 사람들이 있었습니다. 그러므로 진정한 기독교는 기독교가 존재하지 않더라도 그들이 있었을 것과 일치하기 때문에 사람들이 기독교인이라는 것이 쉽게 가능할 수 있습니다.

— Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1 July 1742 – 24 February 1799), Aphorisms,

   translated by R. J. Hollingdale (1765-1799;1990)
