There is no hell, but the worldly law enforcement might want to have a say here.

I suggest burning it to get rid of the proof.

That's a hard one. I hope once you stole the Bible, you read it, saw the light, and returned it where you took it from.
by Reverand Jim on April 9th, 2008
I am sure that you are like me and have committed far worse atrocities than stealing a Bible. If one were stolen from me I would realize that the person who stole it must need it more than I do. hopefully God would use it to bring that person to A personal relationship with Christ and thus get them saved. If anyone wants my Bible they can have it. The scripture says that if someone steals your jacket give them your shirt also.
God Bless

If you stole something and didn't repent, weren't sorry for it, you would be sinning and held responsible.
by Rollie on April 9th, 2008
In my opinion, stealing is stealing!
by Rinky Dinky Do on October 11th, 2008
Depends on whether it was an Old Testament or the New one...
by misskitty3681 on April 9th, 2008
Well I am sure you wont be on the top of the list for entry into heaven.
by laurie-loo on April 9th, 2008
I do not believe in hell but I do believe that what goes around comes around and some day you will pay for what you have done one way or another.
by Mephistopheles on December 3rd, 2008
Oh, no, god would love that. Can you imagine what a compliment it is to steal a Bible? Ok, it's not as good as killing in god's name but still...
by Yarnlady is happy every day on August 21st, 2008
Of course not, there is no such thing as Hell.
by DreAnna on August 21st, 2008
Nope..the people who put a pricetag on the so called word of god will for chargin admission to the word ;)
by fred30 on August 21st, 2008
the answer to this question is NO.
You will go to Hell, and there is a Hell, make no mistake about it, for refusing to God's free offer of Eternal life through His Son.
Except a man be born again, he will not see the kingdom of God.
Jesus words to Nicodemus, "You must be born again."
To be born again is to acknowledge to God that you are a sinner, and that you are now placing your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, believing that when He died at Calvary, He was taking the punishment for your sins.
Our problem is not specific sins such as you have mentioned, but the fact that by nature we are sinners.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 3/23.

Not just for stealing a Bible, but for sinning in general. God's standard is perfection, and anything that falls short of that standard is sin. However, God has also provided a way out- the death and resurrection of Jesus, which pays for the sin of the world. Acknowledge His sacrifice, put your life in His hands...and make reparation. Buy 2 Bibles and give them to people who can't afford them- your local Bible Society will be able to help.

I would have to think you will be seriously considered for the trip.
by Rev. Doc Holiday on October 25th, 2009
No you won't go to hell for stealing a bible, however you will go to hell for rejecting its message of Christ crucified and Christ resurrected.
by myopinion on July 10th, 2009
Stealing or not stealing a bible has no connection to going to hell or heaven, but asking for forgiveness in Christ and believing in Him, means you are forgiven... so learn from it and don't do it again, and read the darn thing to learn other things we are supposed to do and not do.
by DannysUlto on June 29th, 2009
If there is such a place.
I don't think it should make a difference what you stole, its still stealing.
Its hypocritical to say stealing a bibles ok, but anything else is wrong.
by flames of fire. on May 24th, 2009
no, once saved always saved no matter what crime you commit.
by thatsJustme on May 23rd, 2009
stealing is stealing , a penny , a Bible, a weed eater....of a person's personal possession ,yes...of an orgs. Bible ,even if they give free, yes...until given...of a hotel,etc..yes...its all stealing..if its not yours ,its theft...why not ask???????
a Bible is something that should be free anyway..most every sect i know gives and has free....
by Jade on May 23rd, 2009
No. You are not supposed to steal at all, but if you steal a Bible, it sometimes means you are interested in reading it. There are not many things which will actually send you to hell. you may be "punished" in one form or another in life for sins, but there are none which can't be forgiven.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on May 23rd, 2009
I don't think stealing will place you in He**, unless you steal someone's life. I think if you steal food to feed your child it is less a crime than if you steal someone's child (kidnap). While stealing is stealing..there are different degrees of "bad" in my opinion. Happy Saturday! :)
by Karen Anne Queen of AB on May 23rd, 2009
+6 That is a hell of a question
by Riding the last galaxy on May 23rd, 2009
No but stealing a Bible may very well save them from hell if it was read by the thief.
by schmee2369 on April 26th, 2009
LoL...No, not if your sorry for doing it..and learn from it, and dont steal again...KNOWING you shouldnt do such a thing. A person only goes to hell when they know right from wrong...but knowingly does wrong...why? Becuase they are denying the God that is inside of them.
by Doubly Ugly on January 6th, 2009
IIRC the Gideon's don't mind if you take one from a hotel room - in the hope of you finding salvation.
by Moodswinga on January 6th, 2009
Well, if it's put to good use, I don't see y not.
by Sassygirl on January 6th, 2009
Depends on what you do with it after you steal it.
by Chigg on January 6th, 2009
Is that a real question or just bible-basher-baiting?
by scooter2219 on January 6th, 2009
Hell is nothing but the common grave of mankind, for the bible states "the dead are conscious of nothing at all" Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
by Not perfect on December 26th, 2008
Definitely not, If you ask God for forgive. He will forgive you.
by Colt COAT of Justice on December 25th, 2008
Not if you read it!
by Doug on December 25th, 2008
What saves me from Hell? Nothing but the blood of Jesus, God see your sins, but He won't tell, If you are under the blood of Jesus. Our sin-full hearts are white as snow,Why!didn't you know? If we are under the blood of Jesus,give him praise and thanks, and what I have said you can take to the bank,under the blood of Jesus.
by Colt COAT of Justice on December 15th, 2008
NO!
by Riding the last galaxy on December 15th, 2008
No but rejecting Jesus Christ as Savior will.
by Kristafr on December 5th, 2008
The only sin that condems a sole to hell is rejection of Jesus Christ. IIt is a sin but if their is true repentince, it is forgotten by God.
by Ananamiss on December 2nd, 2008
Not if you are repentant and ask for forgiveness; also, I do believe God has a sense of humor; but all salvation hangs on belief and dependence on Christ.
by Guinesss on November 26th, 2008
Stealing is a sin, but luckily God will freely forgive someones sins if they ask Him too.
Buy the way, if you want a bible go and ask a church in your area they will most likely by happy to provide you with one free of charge...there's no need to steal.
by Macy Havok on August 21st, 2008
thou shall not steal.
you steal, breaking a commandment. you'll go to hell.
steal a bible just adds to the trip to hell.
by - M.C.S. - Dave on August 21st, 2008
Your answer is found in that Bible. Kind of like in the book of John Ch:3 V-16...... :)
by Anonymous on August 21st, 2008
Man Hell is here, on earth, no matter what you've done you are going to heaven and you will be forgiven. However, you will come to fully realize what you have done here and live with it for eternity, that is the punishment waiting for all of us.
My advice, minimize it!
by -O-uknow on June 24th, 2008
Perhaps somewhere on the list of reasons.
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on June 24th, 2008
I don't think so. Some Bibles are made to be stolen. Haven't you ever noticed the Gideon's Bible in just about every hotel room you've ever been in? They are made expressly for spreading God's word. Go ahead, take one. That's why they're there!
by pgray1229 on June 24th, 2008
Stealing is a sin. You need to ask for forgiveness for any kind of sin you've made... then you're on the right path to Heaven.
by Wise Latina on June 24th, 2008
I don't think you'll go to hell for stealing anything-unless it's incredibly selfish, or you do it all the time.... and are not sorry.
God has pitty for the lowly.
by Dr. Underground on December 26th, 2008
"Definitely Not!!"
by Don Gorgeous George on December 25th, 2008
You bet your ass He will. God will have your head cut off and made into a trophy for himself. If you recylce a bible in the recycling bin, God will come down from heaven and serve you.
by Katey0718 on December 26th, 2008
Stealing is a sin. If it a bible or not its still stealing.
by Riding the last galaxy on December 25th, 2008
No, you go to hell (Lake of Fire) by rejecting Jesus Christ and dying in your sins.

Actually there is a Hell. However you only wind up there for rejecting God's gift of salvation through his Son Jesus Christ. Not for stealing anything.
by Praetorian on December 31st, 2008
Well said Praetorian.
by Riding the last galaxy on April 12th, 2009
Yes, I totally agree. God bless you both!
