So I really like the Textus Receptus manuscripts, and just yesterday got the Geneva Bible in modern English, as it was printed in 1599 plus waiting for a Webster Revision Bible Translation (it is a 1833 revision of the KJV Bible).   But I have many Bible that are falling apart, and I don't want to destroy them, anybody know what I can do with them?

It is the words within an individual bible that are holy, not the book itself.....   be careful that you don't make the book itself an idol.  If it is usable give it to someone.....  if it's not usable, what good is it?    The paper and ink are nothing special, just thank God for the things it has given you and dispose of it like you would any other book.

     Do you have poor boxes in your area?You know,where you can drop off clothes,shoes & other articles for the poor and needy.......tape up what you can to hold them together & drop them in the box,they may greatly Bless someone just as they are & for the treasure within....................

If you cannot give the Bibles away and you have a spot where you can burn it that might be an option. I know someone who would not put anything with God's name into recycling because of what the paper would be used for so burned everything.

I really don't understand this comment. 

 

I would never burn a book,  let alone a Bible. 

 

Pass them on or keep them , treasure them.

You may want to have a look into having the Bibles rebound if they are falling apart. There are rebinding services out there but I have no idea what that might cost. It may be an option especially for Bibles that are family heirlooms, etc.
