Scripture Comparison Quotes

The Bible is as much a book of religion with me as the Gita and the Koran.

A book which the Mohammedans foolishly believe to have been written by divine inspiration, but which Christians know to be a wicked imposture, contradictory to the Holy Scriptures.

The Qur'an is in many ways far less concrete than the Bible, relying on the esoteric more often than the apparent.

Some, in their curiosity, will say, "But you Mormons have another Bible! Do you believe in the Old and New Testaments?"

It would be worthy of the age to print together the collected Scriptures or Sacred Writings of the several nations, the Chinese, the Hindoos, the Persians, the Hebrews, and others, as the Scripture of mankind.

Such a juxtaposition and comparison might help to liberalize the faith of men.... This would be the Bible, or Book of Books, which let the missionaries carry to the uttermost parts of the earth.
