White
16. If Christians will obey the instructions given to them by Christ and his inspired apostles, they will adorn the religion of the Bible, and save themselves much perplexity and severe trials, which they attribute to their afflictions in consequence of believing unpopular truth. - Ellen G. White
17. I dare not stay home while Quichuans perish. What if the well-filled church in the homeland needs stirring? They have the Scriptures, Moses, and the prophets, and a whole lot more. Their condemnation is written on their bank books and in the dust on their Bible covers. - Jim Elliot

31. The Bible sits on the pulpit of hundreds of different religious sects. - Ezra Taft Benson
32. The Book of Mormon, the record of Joseph, verifies and clarifies the Bible. It removes stumbling blocks; it restores many plain and precious things. - Ezra Taft Benson
33. When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don't find any conflict among them. - Jimmy Carter
34. I don't claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I'm home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book, 'Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.' - Jimmy Carter
35. The inspiration of the Bible depends upon the ignorance of the gentleman who reads it. - Robert Green Ingersoll
36. Church was a requirement - there was no choice in the matter; so was vacation bible school. Gospel has been in me since I was a kid. - Queen Latifah
37. The Bible tells us that God will meet all our needs. He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the grass with the splendor of lilies.

38. I think a lot of people, even Christians, are willing to be satisfied with gaining lots and lots of biblical knowledge - and many people go to Bible studies and don't realize it isn't enough to know what's right, it's applying the information and the knowledge that you have. - Charles Stanley
39. I hear people all the time say, well I read through the Bible last year. Well, so what? I'm all for reading through the Bible.

41. The Bible is clear that those who fail to heed the Lord's discipline - whether nations, cities, or individuals - suffer devastating consequences. - Charles Stanley

43. Selective Biblical quotation is a favorite of leftists who interpret the Bible the same way they do the Constitution: as a Chinese menu designed to allow picking and choosing. That's because when many Democrats take the Bible as a whole, they realize how much they despise it. - Ben Shapiro
44. 'Noah' doesn't merely get the story wrong; like all Biblical adaptations, it's bound to do that (although some aspects of the film are out and out ridiculous). It gets the morality of the story wrong, and in the process turns God into Gaia and morality into radical deep green environmentalism. - Ben Shapiro
45. The Left masks its distaste for the Bible's condemnation of homosexuality in a straw man argument that Bible believers are violent bigots. They are not. Citing the Bible doesn't make you a bigot against human beings - it makes you a bigot against sin, which is a good thing. - Ben Shapiro
46. Pleasure without God, without the sacred boundaries, will actually leave you emptier than before. And this is biblical truth, this is experiential truth.

47. If you look at the Bible almost everything that was predicted, maybe everything, has come to pass. - Evel Knievel
48. Intense study of the Bible will keep any writer from being vulgar, in point of style. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

56. Certainly a sort of industrial use of creatures, so that geese are fed in such a way as to produce as large a liver as possible, or hens live so packed together that they become just caricatures of birds, this degrading of living creatures to a commodity seems to me in fact to contradict the relationship of mutuality that comes across in the Bible. - Pope Benedict XVI
57. It is essential that God created men and women to be one, as it is said in the first chapters of the Bible. So I think even if our culture is against marriage as essential form of relations between human beings, between women and men. I think our nature is always present, and we can understand it if we will understand it. - Pope Benedict XVI

62. I was reading The Bible a lot through my 20s, mostly the Old Testament, just because I was knocked out by the language and the stories.

63. Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy. - Frank Sinatra

65. My book centers in on the New Testament, the goal being to help a person who wants to understand the Bible to see how what God did as revealed in the New Testament will reveal to them their own personal story. - Max Lucado
66. God's glory is the big news of the Bible, and my desire is that it would be all about me, but really it's all about God's glory. - Max Lucado

71. Because I was suspicious of the traditional Christian church, I tended to tar them all with the same brush. That was a mistake, because there are righteous people working in a whole rainbow of belief systems - from Hasidic Jews to right-wing Bible Belters to charismatic Catholics. - Bono
72. The Bible looks like it started out as a game of Mad Libs. - Bill Maher

74. Focus on the mind and the soul. Read. Study. Enrol in a course of lectures. Pray. Become a member of a religious congregation. Study the Bible or other ancient works of wisdom. - Jonathan Sacks
75. The market economy is deeply congruent with the values set out in the Hebrew Bible. Material prosperity is a divine blessing. Poverty crushes the spirit as well as the body, and its alleviation is a sacred task. Work is a noble calling. - Jonathan Sacks
76. The build-up of personal and collective debt in America and Europe should have sent warning signals to anyone familiar with the biblical institutions of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, created specifically because of the danger of people being trapped by debt. - Jonathan Sacks

86. The Bible does not oppose or forbid interracial marriages but sees them as a positive good for the glory of Christ. - John Piper

94. The usefulness of religion - the fact that it gives life meaning, that it makes people feel good - is not an argument for the truth of any religious doctrine.
