Question #22 -
QUESTION:
Aren't King
James Bible believers a cult?
ANSWER:
No.
EXPLANATION:
The charge that King James Bible believers are a cult is
similar to the charge that they worship the Bible. It is a result
of the same frustration and born of the same malice. Sadly, when
facts do not prove them right, character assassination is in
order.
Cults are somewhat difficult to define,
although there are two outstanding characteristics evident in all
cults.
First, a cult has a central body that makes
decisions for all of its disciples. Most King James Bible
believers are fiercely independent and many times disagree about
other doctrines, even with one another. Their only central
authority is the Bible, not a college or university.
Secondly, most cults fear that their disciples
will investigate their opposition's beliefs and then be converted
by the truth. Therefore they make strict rules disallowing books
and materials that disagree with their doctrine.
Again, since the facts support
the Authorized Version, King James Bible believers are not afraid
to study the charges of their critics. In fact, this book attempts
to confront all of the Bible critic's charges with complete
candor.
Now, it will be noted that, there are some
Bible colleges and universities which have a policy of
confiscating books which support the view of a perfect Bible. In
fact, this book may be on that list someday.
It makes one wonder just who is the
"cult" and who isn't.
