Mandela Effect claim: Bible over memory is idolatry

Idolatry refers to the worship of a cult image or idol as though it were a deity. Is it idolatry to defend and honor the Bible because it comes from God? If so, were all those who gave their lives to preserve the Bible (so Mandela believers could read it) idolaters, or perhaps just fools? How is it NOT idolatry to put one's own subjective memories above the words of God?

#Bible #Jesus #truth

Salvation is an offer of adoption that you accept by trusting the Jesus who rose from the dead. It's a gift, so you can't earn it or work to keep it; you can only live in humble gratitude for it.
Jesus is the only way to be reconciled and adopted by God as our Father. This is the Good News! Jesus Christ died for our sins according to prophecy, then he was buried, and then he was raised on the third day according to prophecy.
When we accept this Good News, we’re sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, guaranteed eternal life and cleared of all charges. Then we live to please our Savior.
