23% of Practicing Protestants and 29% of Practicing Catholics claim the average amount of time they spend reading the Bible at each sitting is one hour or more.
The percent of both who are lying or imagining things is likely much higher.
Interesting statistics. This is most troubling (but not unexpected):
Significantly less adults in 2017 say they turn the Bible for direction or problem solving than the previous year (9% in 2016).
There is no point in reading your Bible (no matter how long) if you don’t believe it to contain solutions from God.
That's because in today's society, *trauma* is having a bad hair day.
I think the elderly totals on those graphs should be higher. But then bad eyesight, etc. etc. other excuses.
What about those who listen to the Bible? I have a CD often playing. I really like to play the four Gospels over and over. I never, ever tire of hearing Jesus’ spoken words while He was on earth. There are always new things to be revealed by The Holy Spirit.
I like to get The Bible into my subconscious mind and will play it ever so softly as I sleep. I believe that The Word of God is sharp and powerful, sharper than a two edged sword. There is nothing that can be listened to that will produce good results like listening to The Bible.
Thanks for posting. Will have to look at the details.
Did not see a breakdown for Evangelicals.
The most bought book and probably the LEAST read!
The state of the Bible is just fine; but the 'state' of those who come in contact with it is something that only GOD knows about for sure.
After all; an anonymous survey will generate all kinds of false hits that will make the answerer appear better to someone else.
Go back and ask about internet porn or masturbation.
will be the biggest response!
