Scriptures are meant to serve humanity, not humanity to serve scriptures.

About This Quote

The idea of the Bible being a book meant to serve mankind is a common misconception. In fact, the Bible is a book meant to serve humanity. In times of distress, we turn to the Bible for comfort and solace. However, when we turn to the Bible for comfort and solace, it is not doing what it was intended to do. The Bible was not written to comfort us in times of distress, but to teach us how to deal with them.
