Church Dogmatics 1.1: The Doctrine of the Word of God QUOTES

1 " Godlessness is not… a possibility, but an ontological impossibility for man. Man is not without, but with God. This is not to say, of course, that godless men do not exist. Sin is undoubtedly committed and exists. Yet sin itself is not a possibility but an ontological impossibility for man. We are actually with Jesus, i.e., with God. this means that our being does not include but excludes sin. To be in sin, in godlessness, is a mode of being contrary to our humanity. For the man who is with Jesus… is with God. If he denies God, he denies himself… He chooses his own impossibility "

― Karl Barth , Church Dogmatics 1.1: The Doctrine of the Word of God
