To paraphrase Abram Kuyper, and other quotes

The posting of quotes by human authors does not constitute agreement with either the quotes or their sources. (I try to confirm the sources that I give, but may miss on occasion; please verify if possible.)

“To paraphrase Abram Kuyper, no square inch of this world where Christ does not say, ‘Mine.’ This includes textual criticism. Thus, to exclude Christ’s lordship and His elect body from the process of textual work is to practice an idolatrous form of textual criticism.” -- Peter Van Kleeck Jr.

“The line between good and evil doesn't have anything to do with Mason or Dixon.” -- Mark Ward

“The line between good and evil runs not between cultures, religions or creeds, but through every human heart.” -- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

“If Satan has brought us to the point where we are arguing about the infallibility of Scripture, then we are already out from under the authority of Scripture.” -- Abraham Kuyper

“If we do not know what the Bible is, we cannot know what the Bible says.” -- Jeff Riddle

“We’ve gone from teaching Latin and Greek in high school a century ago to teaching remedial English in college today.” -- Joseph Sobran

“...God became Man. Every other miracle prepares for this, or exhibits this, or results from this.” -- C. S. Lewis

“In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength.”  -- Robert E. Lee

“I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all this book upon reason that you can, and the balance by faith and you will live and die a better man.” -- Abraham Lincoln

“I contend we must take up the motto, ‘It’s epistemology, stupid!’ The Bible is indeed the epistemic foundation of the Christian faith. How can we affirm that Scripture is our preeminent source of authority, if we are not sure of what the text of the Bible is?” -- Jeffrey T. Riddle

“Let us recall the time when God first enveloped himself in mortal form, and tabernacled amongst the sons of men. Let us not blush to go to so humble a spot, let us stand by that village inn, and let us see Jesus Christ, the God-man, become an infant of a span long.” -- C. H. Spurgeon

“You contribute nothing to your salvation except the sin that made it necessary.”  -- Jonathan Edwards
