Is it easier to believe in Christianity if you know little about what the bible says?

The more you know the stronger your faith.
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

When the printing press was invented in 1451, Bishops were complaining that if the people would be able to read the Bible, they would lose their religion. Truth be known, that is fact. Most religious people don't read the Bible with an open mind and can't see the things that are ignored by their pastors. Look, for instance, at the religious story books that are in many doctors and dentists offices, they all tell the story of Noah, but not once do they mention that there is a verse that he took them on by sevens.

Actually I found it more and more difficult as I read and tried to grasp more doctrine.
In reality the bible makes it extremely difficult to stick to a single belief.
And you will find that in most seminaries, the doctors of Theology tend mostly to be humanists who believe that religion is required to keep the majority of undereducated humans from causing anarchy.
That is fact. Look up any major seminary from any Christian university and you will find a very liberal humanist belief system.

You can either believe on Christ or believe Christ. Multitudes are ignoring what he says and becoming a Christian by merely accepting Christ but not his teachings. LDS are criticised for
putting forth bible principals by those who have no bible at all. They believe in more bible concepts than any church I know about.

Sure, if you don't read and understand the guide you can just make it up as you go along. Change it when you want to win an argument, deny what's uncomfortable until the day comes it is so mixed up and confused nobody even wants to buy the book anymore.

no it will become more difficult, the more you know about it the less you will understand it , seriously if you want to believe in jesus god maria , then dont read the bible , if you know the general idea that is enough , dont ask yourself too many questions.

Religion is not about what you believe, it's about what you can make yourself ignore. Just think about it - those with the strongest faiths are those who refuse to listen to what the atheists say.

Probably. Reading it all the way through is pretty frightening.

No! The more I know, the more it builds my faith.
