Question

Is it a crime to possess a Christian Bible in Saudi Arabia?

Answer 1

no of course as long as it is kept private......crime applies to actions or wrongdoings done like using or selling drugs, drinking or selling alcohol, killing people, etc.

Answer 2

Yes, you will find yourself in a precarious position. However, with the advent of technology, you can easily find 1000s of Bibles online (just do a google search); have a copy on PDF/Word/Application (e.g. Bible Pro); you can have a copy on your iPod (audio and written); and even on your phone.

I think with this advent, and the impossibility of monitoring the internet, it is a pathetic law, by a discriminatory nation.

Muslims complain that they are mistreated, but what would happen if you told them in say the US or Europe that they aren't allowed to have Islamic symbols, the Quran or build Mosques. All h**l would break loose.

Yes, a Jewish or Christian Bible is forbidden in Saudi Arabia.

Answer 3

NOT UNTIL YOU START CONVERTING PEOPLE TO CHRISTIANATY

Answer 4

You can have a bible.  I bought the Gita and Vedas at a Saudi bookstore.  Saudis have given me for free Bahai and Jewish books.  And I never had problems for having them, though Ive been told to keep the Bahai books a secret.  

A lot of the women here are into Wicca so there are alot of Wicca books around, but I never seen them at stores but at homes.

Answer 5

What you can't do is distribute Bibles in an effort to convert the people.  Having your own Bible is no problem.
