Who Said That?

I myself, then, was the instrument whose services He chose, and esteemed suited for the accomplishment of his will…. through the aid of the divine power I banished and utterly removed every form of evil which prevailed, in the hope that the human race, enlightened through my instrumentality, might be recalled to a due observance of the holy laws of God, and at the same time our most blessed faith might prosper under the guidance of his almighty hand.

  2. Finney — wait, no, Osteen!

  3. Todd, you’re in the ballpark but think more Christianly (I bet you get that all the time).

    Rube, seriously, Osteen properly strung the words “enlightened” and “instrumentality” together? Finney I can see, but Joel wine-in-box?

  4. Charlemagne?

    • Wow, close.

  5. Constantine

      This is taken from Eusebius’ The Life of Constantine (2.28).

      I hide a clue in the “posted in.”

      • I thought that was a red herring. Hence my dodge to Charlemagne.

  6. There is nothing like the absolute surety of knowing that you were used in God’s providence to advance His kingdom here on earth. Send the prize when you have a free moment!

  7. Phil, I’ll send you a consolation prize for thinking on your feet.

    Chris, the check is in the mail.
