Why do so many people ignore the Bible and its message week after week?

Why do so many people ignore the Bible and its message week after week?

My experience with “born-again believers,” which is what they used to call themselves, is that they spend less time reading the Bible and more time listening to their preachers. In other words, while some fundamentalist believers do read the Bible routinely as they believe that they should do, others also believe that they should read it but they don’t actually read it; instead, they listen to what their preacher says the Good Book means.

I suspect that the second group outnumbers the first.

In any case, when professed Christians ignore the Bible, it’s safe to assume they are ignoring those parts that they (and their preacher) don’t think are very important or might get in the way of what they want to believe.

These teachers in their greed will tell you anything to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago and their destruction is on the way.   Living Bible Ephesians 5:11-12 11 Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness, but instead, rebuke and expose them. 12 It would be shameful even to mention here those pleasures of darkness that the ungodly do.     False Teacher’s - Denominations       Now on another note, there are those that say this Bible is the right Bible and the rest are false and take verses and chapters out of context.     Reviews Bible Versions     Heresy or Heresies     Regarding False Teachers      Everyone’s a False Teacher Except Me     False Teachers Condemned     False Prophecy
