Of all the skeptics and infidels I have ever met, I have yet to meet the first one that has read the Bible through from beginning to end. Now, if a book comes out, and ) you have not read all of it, you say, “I have not read it through yet, and don’t like to express my opinion until I have more carefully read it.” But people are not afraid of expressing their opinion of God’s book after having read a few chapters, and because they don’t understand what they have read, they condemn the whole.
When these infidels and unbelievers go up and stand before the Lord, they will say, “I was very anxious to accept your invitation to attend the marriage supper of the Lamb, but there were some things in the Bible that were dark and mysterious, and so I could not accept the invitation.” That excuse sounds very well here, but up there you can’t tell that. You will be speechless when you stand before God’s bar.—MOODY.
