  protest to Bishop Colenso, 1863

45
All our hopes for eternity, the very foundation
of faith our nearest and dearest consolations,
are taken from us, if one line of that sacred
book (The Bible) be declared unfaithful or
untrustworthy

  Bishops of the Church of England in united

46
I build on no authority, ancient or modern, but
the Scripture. I want to know one thing- the way
to heaven how to land safe on that happy shore.
God Himself hath condescended to teach the way.
He hath written it down in a Book. O give me that
Book! At any price, give me that Book of God

• We Believe . . . (From Baptist Bible College)
• In the verbal and plenary inspiration of the
  original manuscripts of the Old and New

  God.

• Although XXXXXXXXX does not hold to a King James
  Only position, we continue to hold the
  widely-used King James Version as the campus
  standard in the classroom and in the chapel
  pulpit. The position of the University on the
  translation issue has not changed since the
  founding of the school in 1927. We believe in the
  verbal, plenary inspiration of the Bible in the
  original manuscripts, and we believe that God has
  supernaturally preserved every one of His
  inspired words for us today. However, from the
  Founder to the present administration, we have
  never taken the position that there can be only
  one good translation in the English language.

  away, but my words shall not pass away.

  but my words shall not pass away.
