1 | When study what to read first | Bible general | Jon C | 242100 | ||
One or two of the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) are a great place to start, personally I'd probably choose Luke and John. I would recommend reading Genesis chapters 1-3 also. Then the book of Romans, which many consider "Christianity 101". After that there are so many possibilities that you should probably seek mentoring from someone who knows you and who can recommend paths of reading that may touch you personally. In my opinion, a new Christian is best off spending most of their time in the New Testament, and the Psalms and Proverbs. But it's all good! A new Christian MUST get into a church and into a Bible study group, they should not try to go it alone. | ||||||
2 | Where did god come from | Bible general | Jon C | 242099 | ||
Every belief system must have a foundational stopping point. The atheist physicist Stephen Hawking concluded that nothing had to cause the Big Bang, it arises naturally out of the laws of physics, but then we could ask him, where did the laws come from? At some point everyone says of their beliefs, this just is, and I believe it. God just is. He revealed this from the earliest in his name "I AM" (Exodus 3:14). He created not only space but time itself, so it is not worthwhile to think about where or when God began, since those are terms about space and time. All we need to do is simply say "We believe in God the Father, maker of Heaven and Earth...". We believe. |
