Unfortunately, there are those who criticize the reliability and inspiration of the Bible and along with their criticism accuse those who believe in the inerrancy of Scripture as being virtual idolaters, of venerating the Bible more than the message, more than Jesus. Such an accusation is ridiculous. Upholding that the original documents of the Bible are without error and then defending that position does not mean that we are worshiping the Bible or bowing before it as idolaters. Again, the accusation that we are idolaters is a ludicrous and unfounded attack by those who seek to undermine the authority of God's word.There are many who worship God and who also have a great reverence and respect for God's written word. There is nothing wrong with upholding and honoring the word of God this way. It doesn't mean that they are worshiping the Bible or being idolatrous.
It would seem that those who accuse the inerrantists of idolatry are equating them with immorality, the covetous, drunkards, swindlers, fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, murderers, sorcerers, and liars; all of whom will enter into the Lake of Fire. This is an outrageous and unwarranted attack.
