“In my work on The Alexandrian Cult Series, I have quotes from popular and well-known Bible teachers who will tell you that the way to find out what God says is to find out what the “originals” say. That sure leaves some of you who can’t read Hebrew or Greek in a fix, doesn’t it? But don’t worry; if you can’t read Hebrew or Greek, just read the American Standard Version, and you will get as close to what God said as you can get. I would hate to think that the closest I can get to what God said is a version that gets rid of Christ’s Deity from 1 Timothy 3:16 and the Trinity from 1 John 5:7 and the Lord’s virgin birth from Luke 2:33 and the blood atonement from Colossians 1:14 and the infallible proofs of His resurrection from Acts 1:3 . . . , but why go on? The American Standard Version gets rid of 36,000 of God’s words; the New International Version gets rid of 64,000 of them. If that is as close as I can get, “I pray thee have me excused” (cf. Luke 14:18–19).”
― Peter S. Ruckman

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”

“For that reason, we stick to the AV Bible, 1611, taken from the Textus Receptus, which was not written between A.D. 346 and 500, when this seventh head of Satan assumed a religious “holy” form. Bible‑believing Christians go by the Greek Textus Receptus of the Eastern Greek Church—not the Western Roman Church. Bible‑believers go back to the original Christian religion of the Bible‑believing Christianity, which used a Syrian‑type Text from papyrus of the first, second, and third centuries, and preserved these in Byzantine manuscripts of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth centuries, in Asia through Asia Minor, and then through the Balkans to Germany and England.”
― Peter S. Ruckman, Revelation Commentary
