And there's people that make the best of them. There's some well informed believers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I start at Genesis and read 5 chapters a day. Usually out by the pool, lying on my lounge chair on my face. Good way to tan my back as my lounge chair has an open space for my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I study topics, for a deeper understanding, I use the Greek and Hebrew dictionaries that follow the Strong Concordance numbering system. As Other One does/did, I listen to scripture when I drive or want some quiet time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is an individual with individual needs to know and learn and grow and to become equipped to know why they believe what they believe, to defend the faith, to learn about God and what he expects of us (individually), and to learn what our calling and ministry is. Bible (anything 101) begins at the beginning: 2 Peter 1:20–21 (AV) 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. The proper way to interpret the scriptures is by the tutelage of the Holy Spirit who wrote it. For the entire Bible came by the process described in verse 22. So, not any portion of scripture is up for grabs (private interpretation: meaning by anyone or anything other than the Holy Spirit who wrote it). Otherwise, it is an eternal waste of time.

Test the spirits! Not because the Holy Spirit is hard to understand or capricious or whatnot... but because we are so gullible to false spirits who try to pass themselves off as the Holy Spirit. How do we test the spirits? Acts 17:11 (AV) 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. We are to test all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21). That includes what Paul taught (the NIV makes the point that Acts 17:11 pertained to what Paul taught and the Bereans were commended for doing so)... certainly the Church, the pastor, the Bible teacher, and definitely me! Take only God's word for it! Eternity is a long long time to pay for risking taking someone else's word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
