Why don't people love the truth?
Why don't more so-called Christians love the Bible?
Why is the Bible ignored?
Why are these popular theologians, pastors, and speakers believed over God's Word?
It is so frustrating to watch people who admit they ignore posts with Scripture, but teach a mish mash of things that come from men's traditions.
Where is our love for the truth?
Why are do people fall for ear-tickling, sentimental nonsense that isn't God's Word?
You'd expect the Christians to heed the Scripture, right?
But my expectations were wrong.
These feelings are coming from other forums, not necessarily this one.

The truth is too hard for most people. They don't want hell, but they don't want to follow God either, so they turn to people preaching lies to make them feel better about themselves. Teachers having itching ears have the big followings.

Always hold on to Jesus, too many in what is called Christian churches are being conformed to this world, flee worldly lusts, and hold on to Jesus. Such wonderful truth my friend . Let us cling to Christ . Many churches have fast conformed to this world . Let us continue to exhort one another and so much the more as we see the day approaching . Let us hold fast to our profession of faith in Christ Jesus and be always refreshed in the bible By all those wonderful reminders . Be hearers and doers of the Word . Heeding the Spirit at not the flesh . You all are dearly loved . I have found every reminder in the bible , whether dire warning or etc , is good for our souls and works good unto the hearers and doers of the word . Stay firmly planted in original biblical doctrine and let us continue to learn and grow in the true grace of God .

Because they loved not the truth but believed in a lie..... TRUTH DIVIDES.... JESUS SAID HE CAME NOT TO BRING PEACE BUT A SWORD..... People love comfort. Here is a quote from Steve Foss: "Comfort is the curse of a compromised Gospel." That saying is soooo true. I understand your frustration. God always said that there was only going to be a Remnant. The parable of the 10 virgins gives us a very telling insight. All were believers but only half were ready because they had oil in their lamps. The other foolish ones did not spend time with the Lord, they probably were distracted with the comforts of this world. They listened to men's teachings rather than listening to the Holy Spirit. We must feast and dine with Jesus.... He is so beautiful. He is so loving. Jesus is so wonderful. Jesus is so gracious. Jesus is so merciful. Jesus is Almighty God. Jesus is The Word. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, The Beginning and The End. He is the Savior. He is King of kings and Lord of Lords. Let us cling only to Jesus! Praise the Name of Jesus! love you dear sister. Blessings. <3

Praise the Lord for that. We need to keep praying and believing God that He will continue to make a way for you to earn a living, without you having to take a dangerous vaccine. We are living in perilous times. Which is worth more, your job or your health? That can be a difficult question, when you need that job to buy necessities, but I believe that this covid19 fear mongering will eventually pass, as will the mandates. If you take the vaccine, it could shorten your life. I believe you are doing the right thing. Just keep trusting in the Lord to protect you.
I will always say no to vaccine regardless of situation and God will always provide, God is good. But anyhow, just received letter it looks like I will be off without pay starting tomorrow. I am continuing to pray for you Giller and also your wife. Cling to the Lord. He will provide. He feeds His lambs. You are doing the right thing refusing that nasty shot. We are in the end days. The Lord told us what will happen at the end, and here we are. Keep yourself glued to Jesus and the KJV Bible. You will remain in prayer and you are dearly loved.

The first question you asked is not that hard to answer. People do not love the truth because it is hard. It requires that they change things in their lives, and that is not always easy. Sometimes they do not think change is even possible. They are in bondage to certain habits and sins, and they really do not think they can ever be free. They do not have enough faith in God that He can deliver them.
You kind of answered your own question in the way you worded your second one. You called them "so-called Christians," and that is what you are dealing with. People that are truly born again love God's Word. After all, Jesus Christ is even called "The Word," in John chapter one. The Word of God is like food to the Christian, and just as they need to partake of actual food for physical nourishment, they realize they have a need for the Word of God for spiritual nourishment. I have found that lately, I have been desiring to be in the Word a great deal.
The Bible is ignored for different reasons. In the day we are living, one huge reason it is ignored is because it's teachings are not going to be popular with the masses, so even preachers will sanitize it and alter it's meaning in many different areas to be more politically correct, and so it will gain more wide spread acceptance. It becomes more about a numbers game than truth.
I think that one major reason the false preachers are believed over the Bible is ignorance. People do not read the Bible, and only listen to their favorite preacher, so they simply accept everything they say as the truth. They figure this man is educated in the Bible, and would have more spiritual understanding than they would. Of course, much of this is about being too lazy to read the Bible for themselves. The other thing is that many will turn to false preachers intentionally to listen to people that will make them feel good about themselves, so they will not feel guilty about their sins.
If people are ignoring posts that quote scripture in context, they simply prefer to believe a lie. It is also possible that they do not really believe the Bible is God's Word, and just see it as literature with some nice teaching inside they can take or leave. You would be surprised how many are like that.
It is hard for you or I to understand people that do not love truth, but those people have a different world view than we do. To me, believing falsehoods is vain. You may feel better now, but in the end, you are facing hell and the lake of fire. You are on what the Bible calls, "the broad road that leadeth to destruction." Why would anyone want to follow that? One reason is they want to do whatever feels good, not what God says is right. The other is unbelief, and the false idea that they will not be held responsible for believing a lie. They figure they can just tell God at the judgment, that they really thought they were following the right way, and perhaps they will even blame ministers they were listening to for leading them down the wrong path. Of course, none of these excuses will work, because the Word of God is so accessible to everyone, especially in America.
I think people fall for the ear tickling nonsense because they want to believe it. It allows them to live according to the lust of the flesh, while feeling like they are saved. Most of those people would not follow the Bible's teachings anyway if they knew what was really required of them. If they understood they actually were required to obey Jesus and the teachings of the Apostles, many would walk away saying this is too hard.
I would expect sincere Christians to follow the teachings of the Bible, and I believe the true remnant church does follow it, but again, you answered this earlier when you called them "so-called" Christians. They are not really saved.
At one of the largest forums on the internet, they guy that runs it, in a time of honesty and frustration said, "if we go by what the Bible says, nobody would be saved." Of course, that is not true, but it shows how he really feels. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. He also one time posted some silly excuses for what certain scriptures supposedly meant, that were completely far fetched, but asked if it was possible he could be right. If it was even remotely possibly, like 1 in 1000 that his meaning was correct, he expected everyone to accept it because he did not like anyone to feel like they could do anything to lose their salvation. He saw that as counter-productive. In the mind of some false teachers, they believe that you cannot scare people into living right, and people can live the Christian lifestyle better if they feel security in it. They believe that, even if what they are teaching is not true, so that is what they teach. I used to think everyone was teaching false doctrine in ignorance, but that is not the case. Many do it because they feel like there is no reason to scare people into salvation.
I told this before, but it is worth repeating. A suicidal woman came into a "Christian" forum wanting to know if she killed herself, if she would go to heaven. All the unconditional security people said she would. I was the only one that said she would not make it to heaven. The moderator removed my post because he said it was not productive. I had not violated any rules, and only answered her question, giving my opinion, but that was not allowed. Why? How does anyone justify giving this poor woman, who was already depressed, the belief 100 percent of the people believed she would go to heaven if she killed herself? That was so dishonest! She needed to know that not all agreed. One even said she would go straight into the arms of Jesus. To this day, I wonder if she is in hell for killing herself, and I know that if she is, everyone of those people bear part of the blame and have blood on their hands, especially that moderator. The whole thing was this misguided view that it was not useful to scare someone into not doing something, even committing suicide. It could have been about showing just how committed they were to their false doctrine, or it could have been that they really believed their own lies, but this kind of thing goes on at other message boards when the leadership is bad. During prayer meeting, I felt led to pray for the leadership at the different message boards, because we all have a huge responsibility to those who are members and guests, not to mislead them. Souls are at stake. My expectations were shattered many years ago, as I saw people I thought were true brothers and sisters in the Lord prove they were not.
There is a remnant church that does care about truth, and does love God's Word. It is small in number, which is why Jesus said that straight is the gate, and narrow the way, that leadeth to life, and few there be that find it. Jesus told us few would be saved. We are even told in scripture that the righteous are scarcely saved, but the majority go around saying just the opposite. They claim that anyone that ever prayed a sinner's prayer is saved and eternally secure. Broad road, narrow road, who cares? It is all by grace. It is all "faith plus nothing." What is nothing is their so-called salvation. These people are not saved. They are deceived. They are blind leaders of the blind, preaching another gospel while accusing us of doing that. They are going to split hell wide open if they do not repent, but they have blinders on their eyes. All we can do is pray for them.

Thank you so much sister! The devil has been on a rampage over here..... but he is a defeated foe already, and Jesus has won all the victories!!! \O/ The devil is on a rampage against all true believers. It is evident he knows his time is short. I am sorry I did not know you had a prayer request. I had filled in last week, and I tried to find all the prayer requests, but did not see yours. Of course, we can all be in prayer throughout the week, as well as during prayer meeting for each other. We need to life each other up in prayer now more than ever before.
