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.
