Nobody is "taking the bible out of the hands of the believers", most people have responded that they read the bible, they just take it as lessons explained figuratively not literally. [/quote]

Hmm, it would be fun to have an exam of all of us who were polled here (and others of the Religion forum) and find out about [b]real knowledge of the Bible[/b]. The technology is not there yet. I would imagine that the results would be quiet revealing.[/quote]

What do you mean by "real knowledge"? And what do you suspect the results would be?

Real knowledge is few levels above trivia knowledge. So, an exam that asks things like "How many apostles were there?" or "How many years were Israelites in Egypt?" would not qualify.
Instead an exam would contain questions like: "Reference and correctly paraphrase or quote Bible passage(s) about conviction. Explain the passage(s) meaning in both OT and NT, if applicable." The exam would be timed and you would be cut off from accessing Internet except the exam application. [/quote]
