"The inspiration of the Bible depends upon the ignorance of the gentleman who reads it."

                                                -Robert Ingersoll

The Bible says: The unregenerate man thinks that the things of God, including His word, are foolishess. He can't even begin understand them with his old dead spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

"...It would be more consistent that we call [the Bible] the work of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind."

                                                -Thomas Paine

The Bible says: The wicked call evil good and good evil. All woe unto them if they don't get right with Jesus.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

"Christians are losers."

                                                -Ted Turner

The Bible says: The unregenerate man thinks Christians are crazy because they don't do the same wicked stuff he does and they don't hold the same wicked opinions he does.

I Peter 4:3-4, For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.

"If we would destroy the Christian religion, we must first of all destroy man's belief in the Bible."

                                                -Voltaire

The Bible says: The Bible will remain forever. The words of some sinner man will never negate what God has said.

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words SHALL NOT pass away.

If you are a scoffer or an atheist, you have NOT defeated the word of God with your big words and ideas, you have condemned yourself! Repent while you have hope or you will perish. When you die, it will be everlasting too late.

The wrath of God is hanging over your head like a storm cloud. It's there when you lay down, when you wake up, when you are working, having lunch with friends, going on a trip--everywhere you go, that wrath goes with you.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
