Why is it when you tell someone something about the bible they don't want to hear it?

Just because it's important to you doesn't make it important to everyone

Tell it like it is!! I agree with you! I have ran into some really rotten "christian" people in my life time and a lot of them do not follow the Bible or any teachings until it suits them.

Sometimes, when folks learn a new truth, they get real excited about going out and sharing it with others. Unfortunately some of them will ruin their credibility (and God's) by being kinda pushy about it. \nIt's kinda like giving a child a new toy. If you leave them alone with it for too long they become dangerous with it.

I totally agree. People should read the Bible if they are going to question it, praise it, or reject it. Then they are basing their decisions on what they KNOW rather than what they think they percieve.

Because they do not want to hear the truth- they want something that will tickle their fancy- please their ears- not the truth. The truth does sting- but OH how people NEED TO HEAR IT!

No the Bible does not condone this, but unfortunately, like everything else, it is often twisted around to excuse people's bad behavior.\n\nJesus asked that if a person could not love his brother who he has seen, how can he love God who he has not seen.\n\nOften a person will say, "Oh, well that refers to SPIRITUAL" brothers and sisters". I can treat my physical brother like crap .... and still be a CHRISTIAN.\n\nStrange, these same perverts want their kids to honor their "FLESHLY" parents, don't they? I call them pervert because they pervert Jesus teachings.\n\nTo these folks, it doesn't matter what the bible has ever said ... people make it up as they go along and change the interpretation of the scripture to justify their circumstances.\n\nOften the scripture in Luke, is misused by many. It says, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. " -- Luke 14:26\n\nHere is a location the Church has perverted the scripture in the interpretation. The Greek for this does not imply HATE. It simply implies to love them less than him.

For the most part, their logic goes something like this:\n\n1. It's not in the Bible. Period!\n2. It gives a different viewpoint of 'The Betrayer'!!!\n3. Jesus NEVER laughed!!!...\n\nOr something along those lines. LOL.\n\nIt only goes to prove that certain people have really missed the mark ENTIRELY about THE MESSAGE. And instead, they'd rather nit-pick on who-did-what-to-whom kind of thing.\n\nI find that too silly though...

Because they study the Bible as literature, and not the Word of God. This is where belief comes in. You have to believe it, and apply it.

Because people are ignorant of the whole Bible and just listen to what their preacher tells them.

people are scared of that they do not understand\n\nThey would rather someone tell them what they want to hear instead of learning the truth and be shown they are wrong

People are to concerned with being politically correct or socially accepting. They don't want to follow the Bible they want to follow society!

Depends on the person...some people don't believe in the bible at all so why would they pay attention to it

It's sad you cannot post a question without being attacked by Christians that claim  to adhere to the words of the Bible, particularly "Judge ye that not be Judged" and "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." These so-called Christians should be ashamed for not allowing you to express your different Point of view in an open forum.  I think an even better point to make for these individuals who are willing to attack you in such a juvenile way is to quote my Kindergarten teacher “If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." May whichever god you choose, even if it’s none, bless you all.

Unless someone ASKS you to share your faith, or unless you ASK them and they honestly say its OK, its not right to share. Don't even talk about it. OK, please listen, because I'm not going with this where you might think ... Its not right to share a thing that others don't want. That's to force an issue, and NO ONE has that right. BUT, that DOESN'T mean you can't spread a truth that YOU honestly believe. It just means you do it in another way. You teach and you share in such a way as to make others WANT what you have. How do you do that? You live your truth. Your actions, your manner, your life style ... ALL of these things speak loudly. If they're good, if you lead by having set a good example, people will want what you have because they see the goodness of it, and not because you bugged them about it with words that might actually push them away. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

Hi,\n\nWhy do you listen to an ancient book filled with distorted facts and stories? Why don't you try to live your life the way you want and not conform to the Bible?\n\nThanks =]
