> Here is why the Church did not - and cannot - fail: because her Head, Jesus Christ, met the ultimate failure by all worldly standards. He was arrested, publicly disgraced, and executed. The small following He'd built was scattered.
> But by definition, God is that which brings something out of nothing. The Father chose to let His Son's earthly life come to nothing so that by His Resurrection, Christ's claims to divinity would receive definitive proof: the ultimate success produced ex nihilo from the ultimate failure.
> What a feeble grasp of history these wretches have. Christianity was brought far lower than this many times before. The Death Cult are amateurs compared to Stalin, Napoleon, and Nero. It was Pilate and Caiaphas that brought the fledgling Church to nothing. They failed to reckon with the fact that nothing is all the building material God needs to raise His temple, as He can raise sons to Abraham from stones.
> Christianity is the original successful failure. The Church's foundations are not in the earth. She is grounded in Heaven, like a mountain whose snow-white peak touches the ground from the sky.
> The Church of Jesus Christ has buried political parties, armies, and empires. She will carve the Death Cult's headstone. The question that dissident Rightists who throw stones at Christianity should ask themselves is, "What epitaph will the Church write for us?"
