I have seen it myself. Many non-Catholics have their Bibles in shrines. They have vases with flowers next to them, some have candles next to them. I know what I have seen with my own eyes. Jimmy Swaggert himself on television gripping his bible for it was worth. Praying to it "God Help me I am a sinner, Lord I am a weak man."

When I lived up north I saw Oral Roberts in person hold a Bible up and tell the crowd they would find God in there.

Don't deny it, maybe you aren't, but many others worship the Bible and that makes them idolaters. Any one that kneels down with a Bible in their hand and prays is an idolater.

I'm not a fan of Oral Roberts in any way but to his point....where else will you find out about God if not in His Word??

13These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13 NASB

30Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:30-31 NASB

That is absurd! And RCs criticize Prots for misunderstanding or misrepresenting beliefs. The Jews were commanded to give great honor to the word of God (This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night... (Joshua 1:8) And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. - Deuteronomy 6:8) ), but gripping a bible and praying "God Help me I am a sinner, Lord I am a weak man" is not praying to it(!), nor is Oral Roberts (even) telling a crowd they would find God in the Bible talking about it like the Caths do about the Eucharist, but that one "finds" Moses, and the prophets, and Christ in Scripture as in reading the pure word of God, by which faith comes and thus "finding" God salvifically.

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27)
