"There came a time in my life when I doubted the divinity of the Scriptures, and I resolved as a lawyer and a judge I would try the Book as I would try anything in the courtroom, taking evidence for and against. It was a long, serious and profound study and using the same principles of evidence in this religious matter as I always do in secular matters, I have come to the decision that the Bible is a supernatural Book, that it has come from God, and that the only safety for the human race is to follow its teachings" Salmon P. Chase
Mr. Chase was the grandfather of the IRS, father of paper currency and at least grandfather of the Federal Reserve and not least, President Lincoln appointed him as the Sixth Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. It seems unlikely that he reached an emotion driven, sans thought, decision, concerning the scriptures.
It is likely that Mr. Salmon followed Christ’s instruction in John 5:39, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” The word, search, is touched on by Albert Barnes, “It is applied by Homer to a lioness robbed of her whelps, and who searches the plain to trace out the footsteps of the man who has robbed her.”
“the only safety for the human race is to follow its teachings.”
