Would you throw your bible in the trash? Or Give it to someone else?

My family i also Christian. But my mother is wierd because she never make sign of the cross when praying. But she pray a lot. And were also not that religious. I just notice our bible was always kept in the corner and dusty and old but we never think of throwing it away.

I throw all my old and torn book in the trash that include whatever holy book i have. If grandmom think it is a big deal for me to throw away my old bible, and try to lecture me, i told her to chill and it is not an offense in the eye of God. It is my book, i can do whatever i like to get rid of it if i don't want it anymore. May be i am not as radicalize as some Christians are after read the bible.

Sorry to hear you lost your faith along the way. Would you like to get it back someday? Regarding the Bible, it's the Message in it that's important, not the book itself. That said, though, I don't know of any Christian who would throw their Bible in the trashbin despite it being worn out. I tend to keep my old Bibles, and am considering donating them to those who desperately want them. Are you aware of other peoples in the world who would love to have one, but couldn't because it's either expensive or not available in their country? There are organizations that ask for used Bibles & Christian books, and that's where I plan to send my old/slightly used ones.

You never throw any book, with the Name of the Creator written in it, into the trash. A Holy book should be buried properly. Usually a man of the cloth knows how and where to do this.

I could never throw a holy book away in the trash, that would be such a a waste. I would have ti find someone to give a bible to if I did not want it anymore. it might be a comfort and a treasure to someone even if it did not mean the world to us.

I will never throw away my Bible. It is a great book and the words of God are written there. All these things will pass away but the words of God will remain. There was this true story wherein the page of the Bible was torn and someone picked it and read what was written. The words he read made an impact to him and he became a Christian. It is written, "the words of God will never return empty to Him." God Bless

As a Christian I would never consider throwing my Bible away.Because as a Christian I believe that a Bible contains the inspired word of God.Though I probably don't read it as much as I should but I find it's a comfort to have the Bible to read when times are difficult.Though I would probably throw it away if it was falling apart.As God and his word is more important than the book itself.

I would never throw away my bible. I am Christian and I've been raised Christian. I was always taught to respect the word of God and well to me, throwing away the bible, is basically disrespecting the word of God and disrespecting God himself. I say, hey if you don't want the bible any more, then give it to someone who would love to have it. I still have bibles that are falling apart, I have never thrown any of them away, and I don't plan on it either.

That's why I tell people again-and-again-and-again, THE BIBLE IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD. It was The Word of God at one time (and becomes the Word of God again on a regular basis), but Our Father is the God of the Living! And Bibles Burn!

Yes I throw one of our bible because it's NIV they say it's a satanic bible. I bought a king james version which I cannot understand, so I pick up the NIV translation again. I lost faith in God for about a year and found bible useless book, never spend time to read anything. However, Book of Psalm inspired me other times. One old lady told us when we are kids never to read it because it's a demonic book. As of today, I believe bible is a rational book. Religions cannot interpret it correctly because they are consumed with rituals. It is a practical book.

Always pass the word of God onto someone else.

I have known some people who changed their religion and throw the bible. I was raised as a Roman Catholic, it is not appropriate to put the bible in a wrong place. I just feel bad if I ever do it.

For me i would never ever throw my old Bible away even if it's torn apart. I would just keep it somewhere safe. I am a Catholic, Catholics are Christians too. We are called Christians because we believe in Jesus Christ. Well if other people would just throw it away then okay, we have different point of views in our lives :) Giving away an old Bible would also be great, at least someone would use and read it. I am a Catholic but I am not devoted, I make sign of the cross but I am not into the statue of saints, I just respect my parents who are devoted but still I really believe in Christ.

I would pass your Great Grandmother's Bible to someone else in your family. Since it is your Great Grandmother, you must have a cousin, aunt, uncle, etc who might just treasure your family's Bible. Perhaps there is someone in your family who will treasure those wise words that are written in the Bible.

If the Bible is still readable and not too damaged, you can always fix it some way. If you one day decide to start studying be Bible, it could be good as reference to compare with other translations. I have many Bibles in at least six languages and they are useful if I want to compare how they have translated some word or expression. Then we have many translations online too.. I like to go to the online library http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/h/r1/lp-e and do a search if I am looking for an answer to something. This site is free to use and has been set up by volunteer workers who really love the Bible and want others to learn to know it. You can always ask for a free personal Bible study on the site, on a time that is convenient for you. There are no obligations, and you can change your mind if you wish. You will never know what you have lost if you don't check what the Bible is all about..

I was raised Catholic, and my grandmother never thought it was a big deal to throw away posters, pictures, or bibles in the trash. Same as you, lost faith in the Catholic religion after many priests went ballistic. I found a new faith that makes more since to me.

That's true I myself, put off my old bible that the pages was like tearing when turn but I never think that im going to throw it. Hence, thats the word of God. It might have consequence, im afraid and i just leave it there in cabinet.
