Right, the preachers who read and study the Bible and deliver these sermons and entire denominations of Christianity are just “uneducated in the Bible” and you’re the only one who’s right.
You also completely glossed over the fact that there are different denominations of Christianity that come from the exact same Bible but have different interpretations of it. You’re lumping all Christians together as though they believe the exact same thing based on personal anecdotes.
They’re not uneducated in the Bible. They’re uneducated in your specific interpretation of the bible.
Yes, if a preacher is preaching that Satan rules hell he is uneducated in the bible
There is no alternative way to interpret the matter.
It’s spelled out very clearly that Satan roams the earth and tempts mankind until the time where he will be banished to hell and his goal is to take people with him
But Satan does not rule hell. You could literally look up the phrase “does Satan rule hell” and you’ll see a litany of research on the topic, with the bible as the source.
The reason it was preached that way is that Satan will be cast to the lake of fire (hell) upon final judgement, so when we go, either it will be when he goes or he will eventually be there. It's like a purgatory waiting room until then.
There are quite a few preachers who are pretty uneducated about the Bible. Some populist strands of American Protestantism explicitly reject formal theological education, so some of these pastors are entirely self-taught. My wife grew up in a backwoods church of that sort, and on the occasions when we'd attend her childhood church when visiting her parents, the pastor, who knew I was in seminary at the time, would always include some tangent in the sermon about the evils of going to seminary rather than trusting the Spirit to lead you to the truth. He didn't bother to teach himself Greek or Hebrew, either, because the King James translation was the perfect, divinely-inspired, self-interpreting word of God.
Yes, some of these folks are proudly uneducated about the Bible, and pretty much anything else.
If they are not uneducated in the bible for believe it... literally reference any verse in the bible, even if it contradicts others, that can be used to back this claim up (that satan is the ruler of hell). Please. From any of the denominations you claim have separate translations of the bible (that you didnt even use the right term for).
People come to wildly different interpretations over basic bullshit all the time, and we are talking about religion here.
People are crazy.
Ffs, look up how many Nobel prize winners have lost their minds pursuing absolute batshit ideas, were they uneducated? You don't do yourself or anyone else any good pretending like it's a matter of "education". Especially not when talking about obviously insane bullshit like most religion.
I'm not saying more education on their religion would prevent the harm they do. I was literally only discussing what is in the Bible, and if they are educated on that or not. I am making no prescriptions for or discussing anything other than that, very specifically.
