Why don't Christians read the Bible?

>>17830016 (OP)
The fact that Christians need to invent cutesy anime figures in order to attract people to their faith says something.

the demographic shift over time in the people calling themselves "christian" is the cause you are looking for

Colonization took time, especially given the dominance of Muslims in a lot of areas such as East Africa, the Congo Basin, and the Sahel.

One of the first kingdoms to adopt Christianity as their official religion was Nigeria. It's not wypipo's fault they all got invaded my Muslims.

people who read the bible tend to stop believing in the bible lol

it is what it is

>Why don't Christians read the Bible?
Most don't go to Church at this point, they're cultural Christians sadly. So it's really not surprising to me

I listen to it more than reading it now, but always try and top myself off spiritually with the Word

It's so easy to get caught up in the world, and even the Faith with disputes and happenings. So important to go back to the Gospels and hear the words of Christ again

Anglicans are troons of course they draw anime figures.

>CHRISTIANS NO READ BIBLE!

Yes, we do. And we use wisdom from the Bible to BTFO faggots like you.

We also read your scriptures, e.g. the Prose Eddas, Vedas, and Kojiki so we can expose how demonic they are.

You're not a real Christian, namefag. It's amazing mods allow you to post on this board despite how many times you've posted fake history

>Bible users
Kek.

Like what can you use the Bible for? Even the Jews no longer exempt Bible Students from military service.

>>17830016 (OP)
>why
if i had to guess, it'd be that the churches were corrupted and no longer follow the code. another question might be why did europe become christian in the first place, and how. what was the process? something like pokemon go? just abandon thousands of years of following one rule set, to take up another different one almost immediately? then see the same thing happen with islam? really very unusual, interesting. all wrapped in stories. like gudrid thorbjarnardottir's. but perhaps not exactly like it says.

>>17830016 (OP)
Because it's meant to be read in a congregation and during services.

Ethiopia was Christian when the English were still raping each others in bogs.
>>17830016 (OP)
Anyway the reason why is because fewer people are reading but also because there are portions of American Christians who treat their faith less as religion and more as ethno-political identity. "I don't need to read scripture or attend church because I'm White/A Trad Chad/A Man/On the Sex Offender Registry" or whatever their big identity marker is.

>Ethiopia was Christian
The vast majority of Africa outside of Ethiopia isn't Orthodox and were introduced to Christianity by Euros

>>17833387
Why did Ethiopia fail to evangelize the rest of Africa?

>>17833397
No bling

Cool story still doesn't change the fact you're trying to racialize a universalist religion.

>>17833400
>racialize a universalist religion
When has there ever been a universalist religion that doesn't have some sort of regionalist or ethnic character? Are Ukrainian Catholics or Maronites "racializing" Catholicism to you? Is Tibetan Buddhism "racializing" Buddhism? Are the Taliban "racializing" Islam by incorporating Pashtunwali nationalism?

>>17833414
Yes, do you support that cringe? Are you stupid?

>>17833421
>Yes, do you support that cringe?
Well, I've lived in a country that's basically attempted to be as morally universalist as possible since the 1960s and it's been gradually getting shittier and shittier, so I look at groups like that with a lot less condescension than the Boomers do.
