“God never appears to be so truly great, so intensely holy, as when, from the pure energy of principle, He gives Himself in the person of His Son, to die, rather than that His character should be impugned. Who dares prevaricate with moral distinctions and talk of death as a greater evil than dishonor, when God, the mighty Maker, died rather than that truth and justice should be compromised?” – Dr. James Henley Thornwell (1812-1862) #tbt #theology#gospel #honor
