‘There is one good thing about facts, they stay put ...’1 ‘...liberalism is totally different from Christianity, for the foundation is different. Christianity is founded upon the Bible. It bases upon the Bible both its thinking and its life. Liberalism on the other hand is founded upon the shifting emotions of sinful man.’ (J. Gresham Machen, 1922)2 ‘To assume that God could speak a Word that is contrary to fact is to assume that God Himself cannot operate without error. The very nature of God is therefore at stake.’ (Edward J. Young, 1957)3
