Indeed, ignorance does abound. So much of it has to do with folks not cracking open their bible and seeing for themselves what God has given us. Taking the word of Joe Smoe Preacher is fine...But at least open the bible and check it out.

Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Perhaps we should follow their example in being in the Word.
