Quote of the Week

“Indecency, vulgarity, obscenity—these are strictly confined to man; he invented them. Among the higher animals there is no trace of them. They hide nothing. They are not ashamed.”
—Mark Twain

  1. D W Martens's avatar D W Martens says:

    “They are not ashamed.” Is this perhaps because there is no such thing as sin in the animals, only in the being made in the image of God who was made for fellowship with God, who must be holy as God is holy to have such fellowship with God? Does man’s shame originate from an inner sense of guilt regarding his falling short of the glory of God?
