I deal with more practical issues of the Bible.
Jesus was not denying the legitimacy of biblical law. On the contrary, He was affirming biblical law. We love God first; God commands us to keep His word; therefore, we must enforce the law on ourselves.
In the Bible it says God has made everything good for man to eat and to wear their skins. Whenever we eat beef, we eat chicken, we have to kill to eat. But at the same time, hunting is a sport. I think it is a great sport… I would say most hunters are Christian men.
I have a little pocket Bible that I have with me all the time in my briefcase, and so usually in the mornings, sometimes on the campaign bus or plane, I always try to catch some time to do that regularly.
Every year for New Years I write down all of my goals and dreams and put them in my Bible. At the end of the year I go and pull the paper out and check this off and check that off.
Yeshivas barely teach any Bible, only Talmud.
Largely, the people driving abolition did it because of what they believed from the Bible.
It’s OK to burn a Bible, that’s OK. OK to burn a flag, OK, that’s all right. But just, you know, for heaven’s sake, don’t say anything that might offend someone of the Islamic religion.
Christians who believe in the Bible believe that it is their job to bring others the joy of salvation. Even if they’re murdered, beaten to death, imprisoned – that’s what you do for God.
The ‘means of grace’ are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord’s Supper. I lay it down as a simple matter of fact that no one who is careless about such things must ever expect to make much progress in sanctification.
We are not saying that if you believe in evolution that you can’t be a Christian, not at all. Because the Bible says that by grace you are saved. You don’t save yourself. It is by confessing the Lord Jesus and that he was rose from the dead that you are saved.
The biblical world view with respect to these issues is that we have a responsibility to manage and cultivate, harvest the natural resources that we’ve been blessed with to truly bless our fellow mankind.
I’m not a religious person in the regular sense, but in the Bible you’re not allowed to steal, you’re not allowed to lie and you’re not allowed to feel you’re above other people.
I think Bible principles are principles for life.
I read my Bible and I pray and all of that. I really do. But at the same time, I don’t think being gay is a sin. Period.
The Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation… But there will come a time when it will be too late for you.
The Bible tells me that every life is holy; the Bible tells me that every life is loved; the Bible tells me that every life is called to be all that it can be.
I didn’t really enjoy reading until I married my wife and we began reading the Bible out loud to each other every day. I enjoy reading now, and there is a whole world of books out there to explore.
The Bible is replete with commands to persevere, especially in the face of injustice.
The Bible says that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. I believe that. Because I’ve seen it all work.
When you start writing songs on your own, there’s no Bible, there’s no one around you, so you’re just writing, and you’re left with, like, the dead space in your head to know if it’s a good song or an interesting concept.
While the Bible’s account of the flood is one of judgment, it is also one of mercy and salvation. Likewise, our future full-size evangelistic Noah’s Ark will honor the Bible as God’s word and not treat it as a pagan fable.
One of the things I love about our source text as Christians, the Bible, is that it teaches us not to avoid conflict. And it teaches us that before the fall of man, in Paradise, there was conflict. God wants conflict to be a part of your life.
I was raised in a very religious household – it wasn’t dogma, but we were raised Christian; we went to church every Sunday, Bible study, Bible camp every summer.
As we move into the 21st century, there’s what the Bible calls a ‘quickening of the spirit.’
I don’t understand some people, using biblical terms to criticize me when this is just a game.
I know the Bible is inspired because it inspires me.
It is by God’s grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured. Therefore, we seek to honor God by operating the company in a manner consistent with biblical principles.
I’m a Catholic, but I used to love going to Vacation Bible School with my fundamentalist friends.
The Bible is a wonderful source of inspiration for those who don’t understand it.
I gave up writing for seven years (very biblical) and picked it up again, still clueless and still seeking the exotic, when I was twenty-one.
I feel that, every day, God molds me into someone that He wants me to be. So if that means just, like, talking to teammates and helping them out, or, like, every so often I’ll post a Bible verse on Twitter or Instagram.
Oddly enough, George Pal always began and ended something with The Bible. All his pictures had a religious undertone. God was always there, protecting us.
The Bible, for all its riches, is not a document of social history.
Some have suffered death to make it possible for us to have the scriptures today. Historically, the scriptures in the Bible were reserved for the clergy, with the reading of them by others being denounced. At times, laws even prohibited the public or private reading of them.
If I try to understand what it means to be a Christian, I look at the two instructions that were given in the Bible that are paramount, and those are to love God with all your heart and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. That’s it.
Anyone that’s ever listened to my message knows very well, that I believe in very solid biblical beliefs.
The Bible has been the Magna Carta of the poor and of the oppressed.
This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.
If the Bible had said that Jonah swallowed the whale, I would believe it.
Every scientific truth goes through three states: first, people say it conflicts with the Bible; next, they say it has been discovered before; lastly, they say they always believed it.
Based on the Bible, I believe that all the land animals were made on day six, and Adam and Eve were made on day six, and people try to make fun of us for believing that dinosaurs lived with people, but there are a lot of animals living today that evolution says lived with dinosaurs.
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.
When you read the Koran, you give up. At least the Bible is very beautiful because Jews have an extraordinary literary talent.
If your woman picks your ducks, and she cooks and carries her Bible… now there’s the complete package of womanhood.
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.
I was always fascinated by the Torah, the Bible, in terms of story telling: heroes and villains, morality and flaws. There’s no better epic. Also, being part Latin and Jewish means I have a sense of the theatrical. There were always a lot of people in my house. My home was always filled with a lot of storytellers.
I do believe that Israel is covenant land. That’s very controversial, but I read the Bible literally, and I believe that God gave them that land, all the way back to Deuteronomy.
Biblical myth is as integral to the spirit of the South as the heat and humidity.
Within the Christian tradition, fundamentalism arose in the 19th century as an effort to push back against modern’ readings of the Bible that suggested everything in the text wasn’t true in some literal sense.
At the bottom of a Peretti novel is the biblical view of things, the Christian message. Whether you’re a Christian or not, you’re still going to have to deal with good versus evil.
I’ve known a lot of religious people. My mother is very religious, but she also is very private about it. When I was growing up, she never went to church. She just prayed and read her Bible and kept it to herself. I’m not from a background of flamboyant believers. It’s much more a personal issue.
When you put your hand on the Bible, you are saying something much stronger than just telling your peers that you’re going to tell the truth.
Instead of blaming victimization on the victims, the Gospels blame it on the victimizers. What the myths systematically hide, the Bible reveals.
The people who were honored in the Bible were the false prophets. It was the ones we call the prophets who were jailed and driven into the desert.
If there was no Bible, it would be no matter whether you could read or not. Reading other books would do you no good.
Like everyone else, I love ‘Born Again:’ that was a seminal work for me. Everything Frank Miller did on ‘Daredevil’ is like the Bible.
