why most people don't read the scripture (bible)?

I agree with you, and after I post my response, I will surely grab my King James Bible and read a chapter. Thank you for reminding us that the Word of God is important than any other reading material there is in this world. As it says, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

Many people doesn't want to read their Bible because there spirit is not quickened, and they need to be saved before they can love the Word of God. Have a wonderful day as you read your Bible!

Hi janebeth,

I agree as well. That we don't read The Bible anywhere near as much as we should, and we forget that, it is God's guidlines and wisdom given to us as a gift. Sadly, I think a lot of people get frustrated while trying to read it because we are not used to the language and style of writing. A lot of people don't like to read other books because reading is diffcult for them, and The Bible even though it is the greatest book, is much more difficult for even the most avid reader to truely understand.

Because as we all know, not everyone is a Christian. This is your deep belief, but other people have their own. For instance, you have heard from a pagan here and so she would not be reading nothing but the Bible. I think there is room in our intellect for the Bible and other books and magazines as well.

I have seen in many of the responses here that not everyone is a Christian. Well, I don't believe you have to be tied to any ONE of the business's for RELIGION, to have faith in our hearts and soul that God and Jesus are there for us, that his word is the Truth and love.

Why is it not being broadcasted as that these days, is because those that are in leadership that should be treating the people "us" with honesty and truth, we are not. The governments are fighting not for us, but for control of "us" hmmm what does that sound like? How do our children look at this? I believe the innocence of the child is something to truly look at how they are shaped once society gets done with the influences of the false truths they are taught.

Anyways, I may not be apart of any religion, still, I have faith, truth, acceptance and forgiveness in me, do you? To me that is more of what we need in this world than anything.

First of all, not all people are Christian. But for those who are, there are some reasons I can think of for why they don't read the Bible.

I am Christian, but didn't start actively reading the Bible until last year (and I've been Christian all my life). I found that I was trying to read the Bible cover to cover, and I would get bored, confused, and disinterested. I also wasn't ready. You shouldn't read the Bible like a book...you should read it while ready to learn what the Lord is saying and how it applies to your life. The Bible is like a guidebook to life, and sometimes, depending on your life situation, you may need to read some parts of it more than others.

The first time I actually sat down and read through Mark and Luke (by far my favorite books thus far), it was because I went online and found a free Bible study course where it suggested reading Mark first. I started reading--and found myself not wanting to stop.

In general, people most likely don't read the Bible because they are not Christian or are not interested. But many people have tried and haven't found interest in it, like I was in the past. You really have to search your soul and see if you are ready to learn what the Bible has to teach--only then will you successfully be able to read and learn from the Bible.:)

I agree with you. Even though I set aside time to read my bible, I never get around to doing it, either beacuse i'm too busy or can't be bothered. I think we forget that God's word is more important than those magazines, because we have been brainwashed too much. I'll try to read my bible tonight then.=]

yeah, you are totally right, we should do something to enlight our mind and soul....God bless us...

Well, you must remember the fact that, though Christianity is the world's largest religion, only 30 percent of the world is Christian. The rest are Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, Pagans, and so on. They all have their holy scriptures, which they read for spiritual fulfillment. Their scriptures satisfy their souls just as much as the Bible satisfies yours. Moreover, each of Christianity's 38,000 denominations or groups is a minority by themselves. They might read the Bible, but they might not interpret it the way you do. That's why!! In fact, it is non Christians who have made more of an impartial, objective study of the Bible than the Christians.

Cheers and happy Mylotting

I read the Bible every day atleast twice a day if not one a day.
You have started a good discussion atleast some people could relize that what they are doing.
