Rebellion against god

Hey you didn't write it but you read it that way while over 90% of other Christians read it other way, I'm not saying that anyone is right I'm just saying same book different conclusions - because book is flawed and contradictory.

And when it comes to your "exalted" interpretation of the Bible it's really more then arrogant considering that you're following a guy that reading the Bible predicted world will end in 19th century.

Surveys show that most people attending churches do not read the Bible at all.
It was interesting to find that out of those who read it on a regular basis - up to 60 % prefered the authentic version or the KJV.

(From my own observations, not one in a thousand professed believers have read the Bible from cover to cover.
Only 1:200 read it on a regular basis. !986 - 2010.)

Another survey found that some religions like the C of E, never read the Bible, unless it was on a bill board.

A few other surveys show similar figures. The highest scores of Bible reading are as follows in order, SDA, JW, fundamental Baptist, WW church of God, Baptist, Christadelphians, Exclusive Brethren, United churches and ecunenical congregations, Orthodox, Catholic and last of all Mormans.
The figures vary within each denomination as expected.

On average most people don't read the Bible at all, and have a scant knowledge which wouldn't even cover the four gospels.

Of the first 5 churches, 1:15 read the Bible on a regular basis, and 1:178 have read it from cover to cover.

Those figures indicate that most other churches do not have adequate knowledge to even comment on the basic Biblical doctrines.

Agreement on a doctrinal basis is fairly high amoung the 5 high scorers, often labelled as fundamentalists.
Doctrinal agreement is also high among the rest of nominal Christianity - which practically don't read the Bible at all.

This shows that a better knowledge of the Bible, will encourage agreement, and by the same token, a lack of Bible knowledge allows a general unity of the rest.

Understanding of the seventh day Sabbath is common among Bible readers, regardless of their religion. So SDA's are certainly not the only ones, they are out numbered by Christian Jews.

Restitution. Make a wish list.

Are you sure you want me to make up that list?  *evil grin*

Let's start with something simple.  How about this:  You go 24 hours without quoting the Bible at us, and use that time to try to see things from our POV, without assuming that somehow Satan is making us think that way.  We have good reasons for feeling the way we do about religions and gods, and until you can see both sides of the issue impartially you are just going to irritate people with your preaching.

Give it a try.

So basically you think that the only way that you will have a case is if I shut up?

OK.
