No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a real simple person. I believe that the Bible means what it says, and says what it means.
No man means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.
No man ever quite believes in any other man. One may believe in an idea absolutely, but not in a man.
The Bible is not man's word about God, but God's word about man.
'Let God be true but every man a liar' is the language of true faith.
He'd believe anything provided it's not in Holy Scripture.
It is necessary to bear in mind that Scripture only teaches the chief points of those true principles which lead to the true perfection of man, and only demands in general terms faith in them.
The Bible nowhere enters into an argument to prove the person and being of God. It assumes His being and reveals His person and character.
The Bible says, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
The Bible is God's Word expressed and revealed to his creature, man.
