Why do people keep misinterpreting the Bible? I'm so tired of individuals who misuse the Bible for their own agendas.

All my family does is misapply biblical scripture through fear and intimidation tactics. Why? I don't know, but I'm beginning to feel like they are just following a script. Every person I know in the church behaves the same way they consistently use scripture in the worst possible manner, and none of them ever apply it correctly. Why?

Are they just extracting money from me my entire life? Why do they desire money so much? Every scripture is straightforward, yet they twist it every time.

They can make any scripture mean something entirely different; it doesn't make sense. It doesn't even convey that meaning, yet they insist on their interpretation. Did these people fail reading comprehension? Why do they all misunderstand and misinterpret the word so ignorantly? Are they just following a script? They aren't even true believers; they are wicked individuals using the Bible to mislead and control my family. Now, they are teaching their distorted version of faith to my children. I removed my kids from church, but they have somehow managed to turn my own children against me with their doctrine. The Bible doesn't support anything they preach.

God didn't want to make the answer too obvious, so he hid the lamb amongst the wolves.

The same reason every religion is misused. Secret knowledge that only you know can wielded as power over the naive and ignorant.

Christianity as it's usually presented is nothing but a bunch of dogmas cobbled together, and all of these dogmas were at some point forced upon the Roman world by the sword (look into Charlamagne's conquest of the Goths, for example). Mystical teachings in the Bible are totally ignored, because if they were exposed they would end Christianity's monopoly on religion and promote cooperation between religions, which is something the Zionist Jews at the top of the world can't afford. Christianity is a Jewish psyop designed to control the Gentiles until the coming Jewish "moschiach" takes his throne in Jerusalem and takes over the world. This plan can be stopped, but it will required a spiritual shift for the whole population.

Do you have any examples of the intentional misinterpretations you're talking about?

It's a story about a talking snake and a magic fruit, intelligent people don't really believe it but some will use it for their own ends.
