Question #21
QUESTION: Don't King James Bible believer's "worship" the
Bible? Didn't God destroy the originals because He didn't want
these people to venerate them?
ANSWER: No and no.
EXPLANATION: Many critics of the perfect Bible have
become very frustrated in recent years. This is due to the fact that
their entire argument against the Bible has been systematically
destroyed by historical fact, their own shortfall of scholastic ability
and the consistent blessing of the King James Bible by the Holy
Spirit.
In a desperate attempt to "sling mud" at Bible believers, they
make the two statements found above.
Do King James Bible believers worship the Bible? No. They do
not pray to it as they do to Jesus Christ. They do not preach that
"the Bible saves" but that Jesus saves. They blissfully mark notes
all over their Bibles, though none would dare to do so to Jesus
Christ.
There is not even enough evidence to mistakenly believe that
King James Bible believers worship the Bible. Therefore, the
charge is unfortunately born of malice not sincerity.
Did God destroy the originals to keep King James Bible
believers from someday worshipping them? No. Nothing could be
farther from fact.
God allowed the originals to pass off the scene because their
only value, was their words, which He preserved through copies.
Once the originals had served their purpose and were copied, they
received no loyalty from God or His people.
If the originals were somehow to "miraculously" appear today,
they would be of little interest to Bible believers since they make
little of them now.
If anyone would venerate them, it would probably be the crowd
that makes so much of them today, the Bible critics.
