I always thought it was weird that in the Baptist church I grew up in, I never heard a single sermon from the Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, etc.) and the gospels, except for the parts about Jesus birth and death.
I later figured out that there are a LOT of passages in there that are very… Uh… Inconvenient for Evangelicals and fundamentalists. By “inconvenient” I mean it causes the rest of their theology to collapse on itself. So it’s just easier to ignore all those “liberal talking points.”
