This is an honest question based on observation. Many Christians are so heavily invested in the Bible, they seem to have forgotten, if they ever knew, it is only a book, not the actual subject of their devotion. So the question stands: Do these truly people worship a tome?Does an "Extreme" Bible Quoting Christian Worship Christ or a Book?
Christian Fundamentalist is a complete contradiction in terms!
CHRISTIAN 鈥?A follower or believer in Jesus.
FUNDAMENTALIST One who believes the Bible is literally true and must be followed exactly.
Therefore they are followers of the bible and not Jesus making them non Christians!
But worse is to follow it also makes them ideologists.
IDEOLOGY An idea that is false or held for the wrong reasons but is believed with such conviction as to be irrefutable.
So Christians have a loving and forgiving god and fundamentalist - well - Just are not Christians!
Fundamentalists turning Christianity from a religion to an ideology!
That is a valid question for some western Christians, but do not disregard the importance of memorizing the Bible.
When he was in solitary confinement, Richard Wurmbrand "read" the Bible from memory in order to pass the time. He had committed the Bible to memory in preparation for the very circumstance in which he found himself. This practice helped him endure the darkness and utter silence (the guards wore felt covered shoes, and only slipped Wurmbrand his food when he was sleeping). It also helped him win many an argument with his torturers.
Memorizing passages of scripture is like adding bullets to your gun. You can't go into the heat of battle with only six shots.Does an "Extreme" Bible Quoting Christian Worship Christ or a Book?
They worship Christ through His Word.
John 1:1-5 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
The Bible is not just another book -- It is In Fact God's Word to us. We are told to read, study it, share it with others. Unfortunately some people like to hear themselves 'talk' / they pride themselves in all the Scripture they know and can 'tout' to others. That's Not how it's meant to Be. Having read God's Word - we are to obey it and then share it. We are to be worshiping the God of the Bible. And we learn About Him In His Word.Does an "Extreme" Bible Quoting Christian Worship Christ or a Book?
You are so wrong. The Bible is NOT "only a book", or "a tome". It is the Word of God, given to the world to know God / Jesus Christ, and to stay away from Satan. Does an "extreme" Bible quoting Christian Worship Christ? What else can you expect? God Bless you.
These christians are only telling you what God is telling us in His word.
( if they are not taking it out of context many do! )
You are badly mistaken when you say the Bible is only a book,
Yes it is a book, But it is also more than a book. It is a book about the God who made heaven and earth and all that is in them, And hell also.
It is a book about Gods wishes for His people, promises for their obedience, warnings for their disobedience, even judgments to other believers and unbelievers. Gods will for everyone can be found in it. Although the Bible it is a book the Bible is not God, but His will and word to us and for us. Which means the Bible is His word to us and for us which can and will lead us to Him, No i do not think these people worship the tomb, But the savior who was in the tomb ( JESUS ) just telling us what the will of God is.
( if they are not taking it out of context) You can read in the Bible where Judas went out out and hanged himself and can also read in the Bible in another place where it tells us go and do likewise, But that does not mean God wants us to go out and do it!!!
God is a VERY VERY LOVING AND VERY VERY MERCIFUL GOD. But if you will read his word you can find where many people pushed Him to His limits!! Yes He will only allow people to push Him so far without vengeance. God wants to extend forgiveness to every one but many refuse to believe in Him, Many refuse to do His will!
I was brought up Catholic, in 10 years of Catholic school we never saw a bible. They did tell us one thing that has a deep meaning, without God's help we understand nothing, not about God or from a book. The problem with the book itself is it is words that must be interpreted. Not only are there many ways to interpret the words, but the book itself is full of contradictions. It says faith without works is dead, yet other verses negate that, you don't have to do any works, it is supposed to be a natural consequence of having faith, yet I found that atheists are the ones out there doing a lot of the works, they have no faith, they have love. Many people act like the book Is God, God being the Word, became flesh...no became a book! Oh what a mess how to make sense of nonsense. http://www.evilbible.com/Biblical%20Cont鈥?/a>
Both! Jesus is the Word.
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
I think they really worship a book. I'm a human with 60 years experience being a human.
They worship Christ if they're true Christians. But the Word is the Sword of the Spirit; used for protection against enemies.
they worship christ
the bible are the words of god it is sacred
