Coming (to the Bible) through commentaries is much like looking at a landscape through garret windows, over which generations of unmolested spiders have spun their webs.

Men can make an idol of the Bible.

...Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God ...

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword ...

There is not a single pessimistic note anywhere in the New Testament after the resurrection.

The Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope, then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but that. The Bible is a thing to be looked through, to see that which is beyond.

I know the Bible is inspired because it finds me at greater depths of my being than any other book.

It (the Bible) seems to portray a struggle between our mental inclinations and our actions.
