Bible Quote by Patrick Davis
““I was leaving God out in my reckoning. Oh, you say, no you weren’t, for all of the views have men of God in them. But logically, that is an irrational statement. Do you not see it, as soon as you say it? If the Bible says anything at all (and I think it says quite a lot), then it must say only one thing. There is not room for two opposing, or even divergent viewpoints. If there is truth, as I think myself confident in supposing Christians to maintain, then there is no more room for two truths than there are twenty truths. Unescapably, we must be driven to one.””
