Are most Christian bookstores Christian?

Why or why not?



If you are able to, quote from the King James Bible to back up your comment.Are most Christian bookstores Christian?
I don't know what you mean. The owners? The store itself? No, I can't quote the KJV to prove or disprove a store's Christianity (but yes, I do read the KJV). I suppose they are in a general sense. The ones I've been to have some very good items and also some that I would never consider buying. (Like those "feel good about yourself" Christian books.)



Edit:



Oh, books, all that...... I never found much of what I was looking for in our local Christian bookstore. Lots of fluff stuff - contemporary Christian cd's, Veggie Tales videos, lots of books by Rick Warren and Joyce Meyers, some very expensive paintings by Thomas Kincade, but I never did find a single copy of Foxe's Book of Martyrs or Mere Christianity when I was looking for them.
I think a lot of them must be like that then, because our local store isn't part of a chain. Sad, really. I suppose you'd do better shopping at a regular bookstore.

Some of the "mom %26amp; pop" stores are no better. I know there are some; it's just that they are few and far between.

Hebrews 9:[24] For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:



Bookstores are not Christian. The people who operate them and those who patronize them should be.



I just wanted to see if I could find a verse to back up my idea. What is the point of your question?Are most Christian bookstores Christian?
I have generally found that they sell little trinkets for outrageous prices and alot of music CD's.



You generally, won't find classical Christian writings like that of Calvin or other major theologians because they rarely sell anymore and it would not make good business sense for most owners to carry those kinds of things.
