  Quotes on Bible - Study the Holy Scriptures to know your Sovereign Lord   “The Emperor Constantine the Great (272 - 337) and his Pauline bishops decided that all the Gospels that went against the politics of the emperor and the Hellenistic Christianity that was created by St Paul, were to be excluded from the New Testament. Proof of this can be found in the fact that the 27 books of The New Testament are but a very small fraction of the Christian literature that was produced in the first three centuries after Jesus lived.

God could conceivably engage in some kind of demonstrative action that would serve his own self-presentation apart fr...

  Quotes on Bible - You have to read the Bible like it’s a love letter from God to you   “Judaea was not a forgotten backwater in the Roman world. Jews represented about ten percent of the population of the western empire and about twenty percent of the population of the eastern empire. By comparison, Jews represent only about two per cent of the population of the United States today. Never, since the fall of Judah to Babylon in the sixth century BC until the twentieth century had Jews comprised so large a part of any body politic.” ― James Allen Moseley, Biographies of Jesus' Apostles: Ambassadors in Chains   “Jesus’ ministry lasted 1,350 days, spanning five calendar years (AD 29–33), fifty calendar months, and 44.36 months (calculated as being of 30.5 days’ average duration).

  Quotes on Bible - Productivity is Godly. Growth is Godly. And waste is Ungodly   “The real Atheist has been to church, read the Bible and has touched the things that are God’s. But something happens; somehow, somewhere he is broken by a condition and rebels. Yet his rebellion is not against God but against his own inability to comprehend and reconcile the happenings around him and to him.” ― Paul Bamikole, WURA   “Jesus Christ is the light of the world, the hope of the nations, and the Savior of our souls. He is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through him.” ― Adriel Montejano   “While 'clear' evidence points to the suspect from the onset (before he is contacted), 'cloaked' evidence points to the suspect only in hindsight (after he is identified)...The cloaked prophecies are limited in their ability to *point* us to the Messiah. They may, however, help or *confirm* his identity once we have him in view.” ― J. Warne...
