The Bible on the Shelf

I have a few minutes while I am waiting for my husband to get ready for church, so I thought I would post about a comment that Dr. Poythress made yesterday. He said that the Neo-Orthox believe that the Bible on the shelf doesn't become the word of God until it is read but John Frame states that the Bible on the shelf has an effect on you because you will be cursed. There is a binding element to the Bible. When he said that I thought of Luke 12:48b "Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more."
