- Steve AdamsThe way he used examples of our actual lives and compared it to the scripture made it easier for me to understand.
- Jennifer AustinWell, of course it was a very trying time for me, and fortunately I had a lot of people who were supportive. A lot of people who were writing and calling and saying they were praying for me. Some people sent me Scripture, and that helped.

- Alan LevyMen cannot make Scripture conform to their lifestyle; they must make their lifestyle conform to Scripture.
- Alberto BernalI see no room in holy Scripture for any sexual activity outside of matrimony.
- Alex LaughlinThere have been no sects in the Christian world, however absurd, which have not endeavoured to support their opinions by arguments drawn from Scripture.
- Allison HannaNo doubt one may quote history to support any cause, as the devil quotes scripture.
- Allison JanseIf it squares with the Scripture, then let`s go. If it`s in conflict with the Scripture, then it`s heresy.
- Amy NewmanMore people are troubled by what is plain in Scripture than by what is obscure.
- Andre P. BrinkThe Resistance is a moral certainty, not a poetic one. The true poet never uses words in order to punish someone. His judgment belongs to a creative order; it is not formulated as a prophetic scripture.

- Barbara AnglinThe scripture that comes to my mind is `Jesus wept,` ... Jesus weeps today for the loss of life in New Orleans and he weeps that his gospel is being hijacked by the rabid rhetoric of the religious right -- that is in its own way as destructive to our national fabric as Hurricane Katrina has been.
