On every level, this battle is about whether or not you and I have or can have the Word of God. Another point to be made is that this battle for the Bible is very important. Nothing is more important than whether or not we can get God's truth. We are left holding an empty bag. Yet those who claim allegiance to the Bible cannot seem to do enough to weaken its power.
Scholars dilute the Bible text.
Preachers freely correct the words of the living God. No one claims to have a painting that contains the work of Rembrandt. They either have a painting by Rembrandt or they do not. Even a careful imitation is worthless next to the real thing. Likewise, we either have God's Word or we do not.
