How To Really Understand the Bible - Richard H Sedliacik - August 1975

Richard H Sedliacik

HAVE you ever tried to read the Bible, only to throw up your hands and exclaim; "I can't understand it"? You're not alone if you have. Here is an eye-opening example of the appalling lack of biblical understanding and outright ignorance of the "Book of all books" among professing Christians today, as related by a startled newspaper reporter: "Some months ago, a Protestant pastor administered a Bible quiz to members of his congregation. The questions were very simple. Anyone with a general knowledge of the Bible should have been able to answer all of them easily. "The results staggered the pastor. "Only five percent of his flock made a commendable grade on the test. Fifteen percent failed to give a single correct answer. Sixty percent were unable to name the four Gospels. Seventy-five percent could not identify Calvary (Golgotha) as the place where Jesus was crucified. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
