They might understand if they bothered to educated themselves on the matter. At least that's what I've discovered. I was once an unbeliever myself, until I decided to take the time to educate myself by actually reading the scriptures and seek out mentors. A fool speaks with authority about something they have little knowledge of, and dies because of that lack of knowledge, both physically and spiritually.

Yeah.
When I watched the 700 Club back in the 90s. They were saying the same thing you guys say today was coming by 2000, with the same haughty “Well I read scriptures and therefore I know!” lines.
The problem is every generation of people saying this love to pretend that there wasnt another group before them, and then get upset when people that notice these things point it out.
They then think copying and pasting a Bible verse and hiding behind it, while painting people that roll their eyes as somehow not really “knowing the Bible” like they do, makes their attempt MORE legit.
I agree. I believe a lot of folks have a fear of not opening up all sorts of issues in their lives when it comes to reading the Bible & doing the necessary research.
If there is good news and bad news, it’s always wise to get both sides so you know how to handle the situation.
About 150,000 people died today. How many of them even bothered to read the Bible once? Much less believe it?
