The Prompt: A new law is passed: Bibles aren’t
allowed in churches. What happens?
I believe that some people would move to a different country. Others would start picketing D.C., demanding that this be changed immediately. Still others would cheer, as sad as that is.
Mostly though, I picture it would be the Prohibition, Underground Railroad, and First Century Church Persecution days all over again. People would be making bootleg copies of the Bible to spread around. Some Christians would have secret underground networks to distribute Bibles or conduct private Bible studies. Even church services would have to be done in private because you can't preach without quoting the Bible. It would be pretty hard to sweep Bible Gateway off the internet in the U.S. as well.
There could be some Christians who would not be worried though. They'd have faith that God would work it all out in the end. They would be thankful for being considered worthy to be persecuted in this way. They wouldn't have much to worry about either because Christians would have memorized the Bible anyways. You can take away the Bible, but you can never take away God or what is in your heart.
