Bible is totally accurate but…– only 47% read it from week to week– 57% believe Satan is not real– 41% believe Jesus sinned– only 32% believe in moral absolutes– Many believe that abortion, homosexuality,
pornography, drunkenness … are morally acceptable & that moral decisions are based on “whatever feels right or comfortable.”
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”
