“It doesn’t matter what you say or how you explain it. I still believe Protestants worship the Bible. I’ve seen it with my own eyes! The open Bible is front and center on the table right below the pulpit. All worship centers around this collection of pieces of paper. Protestants always have one in their hands and never go to church without theirs. It’s all-Bible, all-the-time, and the bigger, the better. I’ve seen people put one hand on the Bible and stretch their other hand out in prayer. It sure looks to me like they think the Bible does possess intrinsic holiness, not unlike a relic. And it looks to me like they worship it. “
I’ve seen it thousands of times on tv.
People hold their books and look up to heaven. It goes everywhere with them, they even put it in a place of honor in the house.
Sure looks like worship to me.
The book itself holds no real concern for me however the words on the page are God’s instructions for me for Salvation and the way to live my life and grow in my knowledge of God. The church I go to the pulpit is off to the side as many are.
