22. Is it “heresy” to believe the King James Bible is perfect?

QUESTION #23:
Is it “heresy” to believe, that the King James Bible is perfect?

ANSWER:
No.

EXPLANATION:
It is amusing yet appalling that a King James Bible believer, who BELIEVES the Bible to be inerrant, is called a “heretic” by people who claim to believe that the Bible is inerrant.
“Heresy”, according to Webster, is “an opinion or doctrine contrary to the truth or to generally accepted beliefs.”

It is “generally accepted” that the Bible is the perfect word of God. I have often told people, “I don’t believe that the King James Bible is the inerrant word of God. I believe that the BIBLE is the inerrant word of God. But if you ask me to give you a copy of that Bible, I’ll hand you a King James Bible.”

Critics of the King James Bible believe that the “Bible” is the inerrant word of God. BUT, ask them to hand you a copy of that inerrant Bible that they “believe” in, and you will find that it doesn’t exist anywhere on this earth!

We King James Bible believers simply believe what they CLAIM to believe. And for that we are called “heretics.”

Actually the “heretic” label is designed more to scare young adherents away from the inerrant Bible, than to honestly define the name callers feelings. It is hoped by the Bible critic that the fear of being labeled a “heretic” will discourage zealous Christians from REALLY believing what Bible critics claim to believe.

In fact, if it is generally accepted by fundamentalists that “the Bible is the inerrant word of God” and the Bible critic can find a mistake in every Bible that you put in his hand, then… who really is the heretic?
