Well, well, well. While searching for an article on Jerry Brown (CA’s Governor) and the CA Legislature banning the Bible, I came across this one. MSN reports that GQ magazine added the Bible to their list of books you don’t have to read. Here’s an opening quote from MSN’s article:
“GQ magazine, a bible of ‘grooming’ tips, gadget suggestions and style advice, has sparked a social media conflagration by calling the Christian Holy Bible ‘foolish, repetitive and contradictory’ and placing it on a list of ‘21 Books You Don’t Have to Read.’” [You can read the entire article using the link below *]
The MSN article continues: “’The Holy Bible is rated very highly by all the people who supposedly live by it but who in actuality have not read it,’ novelist Jesse Ball writes in the magazine. ‘Those who have read it know there are some good parts, but overall it is certainly not the finest thing that man has ever produced.’”
Ah, therein lies the problem! GQ magazine and novelist Jesse Ball think man produced it! They think it is old, dead literature. We know it to be God-inspired – the true Word of God.
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. [Hebrews 4:12-13 NIV]
It will be extremely sad to hear some of the excuses people will use for rejecting God when called upon to give their account before Him.
