Christendom has done away with Christianity without being quite aware of it.
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard
Sin is before God, or with the conception of God, in despair not to will to be oneself, or in despair to will to be oneself. Thus sin is intensified weakness or intensified defiance sin is the intensification of despair. The emphasis is on before God, or with a conception of God it is the conception of God that makes sin dialectically, ethically, and religiously what lawyers call 'aggravated' despair.
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard
The essentially Christian is certainly the highest and the supremely highest, but, mark well, in such a way that to the natural man it is an offense. Anyone who, in defining the essentially Christian as the highest, omits the middle term of offense sins against it, is guilty of presumptuousness.... The way to the essentially Christian goes through offense. This does not mean that the approach to the essentially Christian should be to be offended by itthis would indeed be another way of preventing oneself from grasping the essentially Christianbut the offense guards the approach to the essentially Christian. Blessed is he who is not offended at it.
