The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its author salvation for its end and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure.
Hold fast to the Bible. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization and to this we must look as our guide in the future.
The nice thing about the Bible is it doesn't give you too many facts. Two an a half lines and it tells you the whole story and that leaves you a great deal of freedom to elaborate on how it might have happened.
The first syndicating I tried was when two partners and I created a production company in 1952. We wanted to syndicate famous Bible stories and sell them for $25 a show.
The actual truth about Gad is it's one of the original 13 tribes of Israel so you can actually trace my lineage back to like those guys who had like a hand in the Bible and have since become very famous from that. So I come from very famous lineage. Granted they didn't have cameras back then so none of them had TV shows.
The Bible is the great family chronicle of the Jews.
Fundamentalists are panicked by the apparent disintegration of the family the disappearance of certainty and the decay of morality. Fear leads them to ask if we cannot trust the Bible what can we trust?
The first pages of memory are like the old family Bible. The first leaves are wholly faded and somewhat soiled with handling. But when we turn further and come to the chapters where Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise then all begins to grow clear and legible.
Great dislike to the Bible was shown by those who conversed with me about it and several have remarked to me at different times that if it were not for that book Catholics would never be led to renounce their own faith.
The Bible is our rule of faith and doctrine.
