Scripture Quotes

Nobody wanted God in a box, just in a book Picture Quote #1

The testimony of scripture is so plain that to add anything were superfluous, were it not that the world is almost now come to that blindness, that whatsoever pleases not the princes and the multitude, the same is rejected as doctrine newly forged, and is condemned for heresy Picture Quote #1

To say that everything in the bible is to be believed, simply because it is found in that volume, is equally absurd and pernicious... To discard a portion of scripture is not necessarily to reject the truth, but may be the highest evidence that one can give of his love of truth Picture Quote #1
