- Attacking the Bible is futile
“The Bible is a rock from which all the hammers of criticism have never chipped a single fragment.”
Sir Isaac Newton
- Defending the Bible is unnecessary
“Defend it? I would as soon defend a lion. Turn it loose.”
C. H. Spurgeon
- The Bible is impregnable to forced entry
- But accessible to all who come to it with the keys of faith and submission
- Scholarship is encouraged in the Bible; The treasures of the Bible are not to be found through serendipity, lying on the surface
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Tim. 2:15 KJV
