1. Peter Paul Buttigieg:

   I was reluctant to talk about( religion) for a long time, there's Scripture on this, you know. Jesus said,' When you pray, be not as the hypocrites are, standing in the synagogues and street corners.'.

2. William Shakespeare:

   But then I sigh, and with a piece of scripture,Tell them that God bids us do good for evil.And thus I clothe my naked villainyWith odd old ends stolen forth of holy writ,And seem I a saint, when most I play the Devil.

3. Cristina Baker:

   I just figured why not? i remembered I walked into this room and all of a sudden, these people started putting their hands on my shoulders. I thought it was strange. I certainly never experienced that before. The pastor then reads to me this Scripture from the bible and then says, ‘Would you like to receive the Lord into your heart?’.

4. Bruce Wells:

   My hunch on the Ditka quote is that it comes from a quirk of the King James translation, ancient Hebrew had a particular way of saying things like, 'and the next thing that happened was...' The King James translators of the Old Testament consistently rendered this as 'and it came to pass.' '' When phantom Bible passages turn dangerous People may get verses wrong, but they also mangle plenty of well-known biblical stories as well. Two examples: The scripture never says a whale swallowed Jonah, the Old Testament prophet, nor did any New Testament passages say that three wise men visited baby Jesus, scholars say. Those details may seem minor, but scholars say one popular phantom Bible story stands above the rest: The Genesis story about the fall of humanity. Most people know the popular version - Satan in the guise of a serpent tempts Eve to pick the forbidden apple from the Tree of Life. It's been downhill ever since. But the story in the book of Genesis never places Satan in the Garden of Eden.

5. Stephen Carlsen:

   Holy Scripture is clear about how we are to treat people trying to find safety for their families – we are to show mercy and welcome them, the Holy Family today calls us to stand with all families seeking safety and a future for their children.
