Why ever believe 'The Few' when 'The Many' disagree?

The answer is in scripture, and every one of the "many" out there, who embrace the popular fast-food sort of Christianity, ignores the teachings, because they treat such passages as pertaining to 'those other guys', well naturally they do, for who would would be willing to be condemned as innacurate/false? Who really READS there own Bible Vs. Having their Bible spoon-fed to them?

But Scripture teaches us a principle regarding the MANY and the FEW and we ignore it to our spiritual peril, it is at the most basic, this: The overwhelming majority of Churches are teaching falsehoods, and some downright blasphemous "doctrines" championed as truth. This powerful message is given to 'All' the Churches, but only those with "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" will understand the scope of this, and even less will still come to accept it.

The Most Important First Step

Understanding Scripture as its meant to be interpreted.

Easily the most confusing concept for unbelievers, and one that is equally confusing for many believers is ‘How to know the meaning of what is being taught in a passage of scripture’. So many opinions and so many differing ones, how do we separate the truth from the mistakes and the lies?

Is it even possible?

YES. The following link is a great resource for achieving this:

Twelve God-Given Truths to understand His Word.

Well, What about the BIBLE?  Which one is the best?

In short, ALL OF THEM TOGETHER.  There is a powerful distinction between studying the Word, and just casually reading it from a single preferred “version”, and and even larger difference in studying yourself vs. having it read to you.

The following link is a brief explanation of why it is so important to expand ones sources when studying scripture and avoiding the idolization a specific “edition”.
