He’s tried to hijack Christianity and the Bible in ways that are deeply hypocritical. – Hillary Clinton On Donald Trump.
Seeing President Trump standing in front of St John’s Episcopal Church while holding a Bible in response to calls for racial justice – right after using military force to clear peaceful protesters – is one of the most flagrant misuses of religion that I have ever seen. – Jack Moline US rabbi and president of Interfaith Alliance.
Let me be clear. This is revolting. The Bible is not a prop. A church is not a photo op. Religion is not a political tool. God is not your plaything. – James Martin Jesuit priest and consultant to the Vatican’s communications department. On Donald Trump’s photo op at Washington’s St. John’s Church.
The president held up a Bible at St. John’s Church. I just wished he opened it once in while instead of brandishing it. If he opened it, he could have learned something. – Joe Biden
I am outraged. The President just used a Bible, the most sacred text of the Judeo-Christian tradition, and one of the churches of my diocese, without permission, as a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus. I just can’t believe what my eyes have seen. – Mariann Budde Episcopal Bishop of Washington on Donald Trump’s bible photo op at St. John’s Church and his “incendiary language” during protests at George Floyd’s death.
Do you think if you changed the Bible stories maybe you would get people more easily to relate to them?

Interview with Christian rock festival musician.

The Bible gives a true and trustworthy account of creation, and that account in no way conflicts with or contradicts an old-Earth view, and vice versa. – Hugh Ross
Fundamentalist Christians, adhering to what is termed ‘creation science,’ loudly promote the scientific accuracy of the Bible, but they sift or reinterpret science through the tiny mesh of their ideological filter. Not much real science gets through. – Hugh Ross
Jesus Christ is our supreme commander, but He operates only through His word, which is unquestionably a training manual. However, He has many interpreters, and few people see the Bible as a true training manual. – Gary North
Most Americans and other Westerners claim to have read all or part of the Bible. However, when asked to identify even four books of the Bible or four of Jesus’ disciples or four of the Ten Commandments, fewer than half even attempt to respond and fewer than one in ten respond correctly. – Hugh Ross
An excellent habit to cultivate is the analytical study of the King James Bible. For simple yet rich and forceful English, this masterly production is hard to equal; and even though its Saxon vocabulary and poetic rhythm be unsuited to general composition, it is an invaluable model for writers on quaint or imaginative themes. – H. P. Lovecraft

The Bible is the ultimate authority and infallible, not the pastor and not the elders. And it doesn’t mean that you believe everything he says without examining it. – John Piper
I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily. – Isaac Newton
If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is of no more authority than any other uninspired volume, how is it that the book is what it is? – J. C. Ryle
The Hebrew Bible contains multiple provisions to ensure that no one would go hungry. The corners of the field, forgotten sheaves of grain, gleanings that drop from the hands of the gleaner, and small clusters of grapes left on the vine were to be given to the poor. – Jonathan Sacks
To read the Bible is of itself a laudable occupation and can scarcely fail of being a useful employment of time; but the habit of reflecting upon what you have read is equally essential as than of reading itself, to give it all the efficacy of which it is susceptible. – John Quincy Adams
