from scripture - so why don't you know it?
rcc/catholics - if you know scripture then you should know this also.
no, those replies were to DAL who claims to have read the bible mega# of times and to understand it.Is your charge that we haven't tried hard enough, put in enough effort, made enough resolve to know it?
if your heart isn't in it then it'll be a struggle, but that doesn't mean your heart won't change. i know of 2 well known ministry leaders who started out reading it in order to prove it wrong. instead it proved them wrong, both became believers.
otoh, I tried reading it before I was saved and gave it up as hopeless. 6 months or so later I was saved and it became a great desire of my heart. that was over 40 yrs ago and it is still a great desire of my heart. as long as I can read, think and hear it will continue that way. I go to sleep listening to christian music or teachings - and wake up to them.
