Do not sit down with a Bible in your easy chair of do-little, but arise and matter instead. Each epoch has overlooked in the Gospels what it wished to overlook. [Ludwig von Mises, abr.] Happiness is to be preferred instead of large amounts of reading - the right sort of happiness. In independent Bible studies the alarming problems to some may not be lack of intelligence. To the contrary. Just because the Bible says something doesn't make it truth if . . . it is slanted, distorted, mis-applied, or merely the letter of the word. [J. Preston Eby] Let mental culture go on advancing . . . beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity. [Goethe, abr hum,] Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand. [Mark Twain] The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation. [Elizabeth Cady Stanton] The Bible is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth. [With Samuel Butler ] The Bible itself is intolerant. [Bob Jones III, president of Bob Jones University] The Christian community continues to exist because the conclusions of the critical study of the Bible are largely withheld from them. [Hans Conzelmann] The human qualities of the raw materials show through. Naivety, error, contradiction, even (as in the cursing Psalms) wickedness are not removed. The total result is not "the Word of God". [C. S. Lewis] The inspiration of the Bible depends upon the ignorance of the gentleman who reads it. [Robert Ingersoll] The Old Testament drips with blood. [With Henry L. Mencken] We [were] allowed to read the Bible and account for all its absurd, grotesque and cruel things at variance with every known recorded fact, so palpably absurd. [Robert Ingersoll, abr.] When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said "Let us pray." We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land. [Bishop Desmond Tutu] Who prays for the Bible to be put right in all the places it need it the most? |
