" "It is a matter of perfect indifference where a thing originated; the only question is: "Is it true in and for itself?" Many think that by pronouncing a doctrine to be Neo-Platonic, they have ipso facto banished it from Christianity. Whether a Christian doctrine stands exactly thus or thus in the Bible, the point to which the exegetical scholars of modern times devote all their attention is not the only question. The Letter kills, the Spirit makes alive: this they say themselves, yet pervert the sentiment by taking the Understanding for the Spirit.

Additional quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
It belongs to the absolute freedom of God that in its act of determining and dividing, it releases the Other to exist as a free and independent being...This other released as something free and independent is the world as such.” The world lacks genuine actuality. Its being is only posited. For the world, to be is to have being only for an instant, but also to sublate this separation from God and return to its origin in God, to enter into relationship of spirit, of love, to be this relationship of spirit, of love, which is the holy spirit.
