@MoziburUllah Sorry, I was temporarily kicked off chat for posting my email address. "Redemption" is a key concept in Christianity. It typically refers to the concept that Jesus has "redeemed" us by paying for our sins with his own sacrifice. gotquestions.org/redemption.html

@ChrisSunami: I didn't know you could be kicked off chat for that! Anyway, glad you've rejoined us.

Thanks for the ref, really useful.

That understanding of redemption is probably a key theological difference between Islam & Christianity

does chat onebox tweets yet

apparently...and I do not know about quotes in particular, but it is quite common that people read those texts they feel a resonance with, which results in some kind of self-affirmation
