| By Greg Vanden Berge Answer: I really don't know, but if I was to guess, it has
something to do with arrogance, insecurity and of course low
self-esteem. If I don't know the answer to a question, I might guess or
provide someone with my opinion, but let them know, I'm only guessing
and providing them with a few, ideas.
I hate to say it, but Christians will believe practically anything
you tell them, about Christianity. If you're an older man with gray
hair and sound like you know what you're talking about, you could
probably convince them, to do anything.
Christian leaders have been doing it for centuries, often avoiding
difficult questions and telling their faithful followers, just to
believe. Have a little faith and everything is going to work out, for
the best.
This doesn't make a lot of sense to a rational minded individual.
Let's use this as an example," Why do Christians misquote Bible verses?
Because they don't know what they're talking about.
It's not difficult to figure out and most of the information, these
individuals share with others, has never been validated.
Any Bible verses that relate to God or even Jesus as God, create
problems for rational minded individuals. If the existence of neither
one of them has ever been rationally validated, then it wouldn't make a
lot of sense, to reference them in any way... especially as the creator
of everything.
At lease any reference to God, Jesus or anything else that could be
rationally doubted.
A Catholic priest might suggest one thing, where a Seven-Day Adventist,
Baptist or Holy Roller, might suggest something else.
Another problem with misquoting Bible verses, comes from
contradicting statements and errors in the Bible, itself.
How can we justify, loving our enemies and killing them at the same
time?
It's harder for a rich man to go through the eye of the needle, than to
get into heaven, yet millions of dollars have been given to Christian
organizations, by rich men, with limited resistance.
In conclusion, it's my educated opinion, that most people misquote
the Bible, because they don't take the time to do any research on their
own.
