I think that’s pretty much universal to all denominations and religions from what I can tell. I grew up in Protestant church and it was pretty much the same. Typically a verse along with a lengthy statement from church “catechism”. My father was an avid Bible reader and that is where I got the inspiration to read for myself. I soon learned that what was being taught was not always agreeing with what scripture was saying.
I don’t think I even ever touched a Bible until I got saved and bought one. I don’t recall that we had one laying around the house either.
Outside of the random passages of Scripture that were read in mass, I had ZERO exposure to it and had been thoroughly taught that I couldn’t understand it anyway so I never bothered pursuing the matter....
Until I got saved.
I actually have no problem with that. Children need a theological/doctrinal foundation or they end up not knowing the difference between a mormon and a Christian ..
BUT I do beieve that woven into that process should be the memorization of co ordinated scripture verses..
Like so many formers here I did not read or understand the scriptures until I was saved .. But scripture does tell us that doesn't it?
