Bible Note: Ignorance of the Bible is no virtue; and knowledge of it is no vice. You seem to be saying that ignorance is some kind of virtue and Bible knowledge is a vice. Get out your concordance and look up every verse that contains the word "knowledge". You will find that it is not something evil. In the Dark Ages there was plenty of ignorance to go around. But I'm not convinced that the people of that time were especially virtuous. Before the Bible became available in various native languages, there is no evidence that people were more "spiritual" because they did not have access to the Bible. |
