People... People... and their inaccurate interpretations? What about inaccurate translations? What about... alterations? What the bible is today is not what the bible was meant to be. Which is why I said to take it with a grain of salt.
But oh well... Just forget about what i've said.

^^And, since you've decided to "pick and choose" which parts of the bible to believe in, it explains why you continue to ignore the part that says, "All scripture is inspired by God, and is profitable for doctrine."
Jesus says in John 15, "If you love me, keep my commandments." One of the commandments he gave us as believers is to "let our light shine before men." Besides the great commission which CLEARLY instructs his followers to preach his message, the apostle Paul confirms this in 2 Timothy where he exorts young Timothy to "teach and preach". If the point is, "no man can preach God's word", then why are the spiritual gifts listed in Corinthians, some of which include "teaching, evangelism, prophesying, preaching...?" This is a moot point because there are countless examples of God calling and even REQUIRING man to "teach his word".
Also, don't disrespect Christianity by being selective. You can pick and choose teachings if you want. But, don't disregard the REST OF IT simply because you've chosen to not follow that. The bible would call you an unbeliever...dare I say apostasy?
ALL or NOTHING baby.
