If you have an old Bible you have read so many times it is falling apart, remember it is still God's Word. God's Word must be treated with appropriate respect no matter how old and tattered the vessel which holds it.

In Freehold, we believe "recycling" is a liberal concept born of socialism. No recycling here. Taking God's Word to another city's "recycling" is not respectful either. And putting a Bible in a trash container is out of the question.

President Trump has the best idea. He says he has a "large collection of Bibles" and he keeps them in a special place. We should all take that advice, keep your tattered copies and store them some place that reflects the same respect as does President Trump.

The Christian Post article you linked mentions burning in the title and then does not discuss the topic in the article, so I'll give my two cents on that. Burning Bibles is blasphemous and should be illegal. Of course there's no problem with destroying the many false translations of the Bible out there, but this should only be done by True Christians™. Otherwise it's still an attack on Christ and Christianity in intent.

So far as I know, the link is correct in that the Bible itself gives no instructions. We can, however, learn from religious leaders like Trump and store our old Bibles in "special places."

I don't think I could ever be as respectful as President Trump.

Per my dear husband's insistence, we always put God's Holy Word in each of the guest bedrooms. When any of the rooms are due for a makeover, we simply buy new Bibles and the old ones are either donated to one of the false churches in the area (in the hopes that the congregation will turn away from their false translations and be Saved) or given to one of the servants - with strict instructions to cherish this gracious gift from us.

I've retained all of my Bibles that will no longer retain the pages.

There is nothing like opening a new Bible, breaking the binding, knowing you are the first to run your fingers along the silky white pages.
I like folding the corners of the pages that have my favorite passages so I can easily delve deep into them and quickly erupt into a joyful bliss of Gods Word™.

Eventually, every page is folded over and there is no crevice I have not penetrated. The stains from my tears soil every word, the deep passages, stuck together, frozen in time.
Then Landover Baptist sends me a new one, stamped with the Pastors own Personal Message®, just for me.
When God calls me Home© I want all my Bibles with me to return to Him.

Bless you, Brother Hutchins!! Your intricate and extremely specific description of a man's first tender encounter with the Holy Bible caused me to go right for the tissue to clean up after my flowing... uh... tears of joy.

My church has a bible recycling center where used worn out bibles are given to the poor in hopes it will save them.

I don't think God will ask you to return your Bible in Heaven. After all, it's the only book you'll be able to read. Why would the Lord deny you that pleasure in paradise?
