So, I just read this quote by Rob Bell........where he claims he is quoting Nelson Mandella....but the nearly identical quote appears in New Age leader Marianne Williamson's book.....
But regardless if it came from Marianne Williamson or Nelson Mandella....the message in the quote itself is what's most disheartening. These quotes (by Bell, Williamson, and Mandella) says that there is greatness and power and glory that resides in every human being.
Read these 2 nearly identical quotes here.
This is simply not what the Bible says. The Bible says there is nothing good in our flesh (Romans 7), and Paul describes himself as a wretched man. The Bible says that there is none who does good, not one (Psalm 14), and that there is none who is righteous (Romans 3). The only One who is righteous and great and deserves all the glory is the One who gave His life as a ransom for many. And HIS POWER (not mine) is made perfect in WEAKNESS (2 Corinthians 12).
