While it may be a bestseller, the Bible still is not regularly read according to a recent study by "Back to the Bible."

The non-denominational organization conducted over 40,000 surveys to understand why so many people own Bibles, but neglect to read them.

Now, it's using technology, like radio, television and the internet, to try to change this.

"We know that when that when people engage God's word, they less engage in self destructive behavior like internet pornography and gambling. All kinds of self destructive things like cutting and alcohol abuse, drug abuse," said President and seinior Bible teacher, Woodrow Kroll. "The bible changes people's lives."

So god is giving us choice and which god must we choose Yahweh, Allah, Jehovah, thats some choice we have. The birth place of Christianity is also a holy place for Islamic and the Hebrew people that is full of hate, mistrust, and social tension. Is this gods example of the way it can be? THANKS BUT NO THANKS. Sincerely Amazed.

God gives you the choice of receiving salvation, Christ died so that we might be able to be with God in heaven. It does not matter what color you are, what church you go to, or what language that you speak. When we are all judged, God will look into your heart and see what you truly believe, you will stay in heaven with God or you will go to hell, both places will be your home forever, remember it is forever. God wants all people to be with him in heaven, thats why he allowed his son, Jesus to be killed by the hands of humans, so that all can have a path to heaven that is free for the asking. God's judgement is true and pure, God has warned us of what is in the future if we follow the easy path of the evil one. God gives us his Grace that we might receive something that we really don't deserve, that is God's salvation thru Christ Jesus. I pray that the Holy Spirit will be stirred up in each one of your hearts that you will accept God's salvation of eternal life with him.

The Bible is full of rapes and killings and incest and slavery. Do you eat shellfish, L? I sure hope not. I don't think reading the Bible does any one any good. It usually just gives them justification in hating others.
