Just because there is an ignorant subculture which holds to a shallow and inadequate view of the Bible, it doesn’t mean that the Bible is not the Word of God.

Except that in many cases, such believers are not ignorant at all about the Biblical theology, for they (especially in independent fundamental immersionist assemblies) have spent far more time in close study and expository preaching/learning than one will ever find in denominational churches that focus on the "social gospel" in 20-minute sermons in perversions of doctrine that support it, thus tending toward a supercilious attitude in those who do not want to be a part of the Bible-based "subculture." Don't confuse Bibliolatry with the use of the Bible as the Spirit doing His counseling and directing to the believer from its pages. If one hears a spirit advising opinions and actions not supported His Bible, you are listening to another spirit of a different kind.

And I know, because I was raised in the parsonages of various Methodist churches where Dad was the minister; and I was not saved until the age of thirty-four, though I heard such messages for many years.

I agree. But that's not how I was talking about. 😉
