Quotes on Bible - If you remove God you have nothing left
“Too
often when a person's experience and the standard interpretation of Scripture
don't add up we immediately blame the person instead of interrogating our
understanding of Scripture. It is far easier to believe that someone else is
wrong or does not have enough faith than it is to face the truth that it's
possible that our interpretation doesn't match how reality works.”

“If
you remove God you have nothing left other than the illusion that you have

“The
Bible is the Word of God, God's breath, the truth of God - active and
life-saving. Its words are a lamp to our feet, a light to our path, and a sword
to our souls, illuminating our way, guiding us in righteousness, and
transforming us into the likeness of Christ. As we read and apply its
teachings, may we be filled with the Spirit of Truth, and may our lives be a
testament to the power and grace of God's living Word.”

19:1-6 - Interpretation
1
The spacious firmament on high,
With
all the blue ethereal sky,
And
spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their
great Original proclaim.
2
Th'unwearied sun, from day to day,
Does
his Creator's power display;
And
publishes to every land
The
work of an almighty hand.
3
Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The
moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And
nightly to the listening earth
Repeats
the story of her birth:
4
Whilst all the stars that round her burn,
And
all the planets in their turn,
Confirm
the tidings as they roll,
And
spread the truth from pole to pole.
5
What though in solemn silence all
Move
round this dark terrestrial ball;
What
though no real voice or sound
Amidst
their radiant orbs be found;
6 In
reason's ear they all rejoice,
And
utter forth a glorious voice,
For
ever singing as they shine,
"The
hand that made us is divine.”

Paul the Apostle, 2 Timothy KJV: King James Version

in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have
been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all
things hold together”

Paul the Apostle, Colossians KJV: King James Version
“How
wonderful it is to know that we go through no experiences where God is not
there in divine companionship, and the hotter the fire the sweeter the
fellowship. You know, I can tell you, folks, in my own experience, that
whenever I get into a situation where I decide to take a stand for something
and it’s the unpopular thing to do, and you start getting flack, you have this
tremendous sense of divine companionship. It’s what Peter talked about when he
talked about the fact that when we go through persecution, the Spirit of grace
and glory rests on us. I had this overwhelming sense of the presence of God
strengthening. And here they were in the fiery furnace in divine companionship.

“Really
white people lived somewhere else during those times. That's why the Bible says
that Jesus Christ had hair like lamb's wool. Lamb's wool is not straight,

“Set
me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as
death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire,
which hath a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can
floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
it would be utterly contemned.”

have a dream today.
I

revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.”
