Bible Studies - Learn from The Bible

Groover (Funky Atheist) asked:


It seems that some Christians oftentimes interpret the bible to merely serve their own sectarian agendas. This is obvious in the case of our Gay and Lesbian community. Bigotry is practiced by some Christians far more than “Love thy neighbor”. Why does the bible seek to single out minority groups in such a harmful and malicious manner?

Maybe that’s why they’re always quoting bible verses to people for whom the bible is just so much myth and superstition; Christians get hypnotized when they hear bible verses so they think that it can hypnotize other people too…?

And emphasize those over the rest and sound reason?

rwjack asked:


I couldn’t tell you one chapter or verse. I do however listen to the gospel intently and follow Jesus teachings in it to the best of my ability. I believe that God sent his only Son Jesus to us for our salvation. Because I do not know the Bible except through the readings at my Catholic mass does that make me less of a Christian than many of the Christians on this board? In God’s eyes all of his children are equal, right?
