Val Thank you very much. I was waiting with much anticiaption for an explanation of how inductive study is suppossed to work, since I have very little knowledge about it. Am I correct in understanding that the "formula" for lack of a better word is the following? - Main Characters Event Application Are there other elements one would use in place of some of these three in another type of passage, and would there be more than three? I have a few questions, if you don't mind answering them. Are whole passages always broken down into parts like you have outlined as part of an inductive Bible study? Can inductive Bible study be applied to the broader passage that are made of the parts? The first application; does Jesus heal all Christians when they come to him? The sixth application; is this talking about the Holy Spirit drawing men to God? And could people who first resist His drawing be forgiven of that if they repent, haven't plenty of people done that? Isn't blasepheming against the Holy Spirit saying Jesus did His works by the power of Satan according to verse 24? The seventh application; Isn't this talking directly about the fruit of the Pharisees and not of Jesus fruit and that you will know Pharisees by their fruits? I have more questions about the applications but these stood out. It seems like some things that I have learned about Bible study are different. I would make a guess that you know many methods of Bible study by your profile.:-) I am wondering about parts of the process in this group of examples you gave. The text says this - Main Characters The text says this - Event The author's intent to his audience - Not there that I could see, but I may be wrong The author's application to his audience - Not there that I could see, but I may be wrong What it matters now is this - The application The application now is this - The application I am trying to see how this indcutive Bible study method takes into consideration, not just what we get from the text from just reading it, but what the author meant to convey to his audience and what the author's application was to his audience. I don't see it here in this method. Perhaps you could help me to understand better, I am missing something, or not understanding correctly? Thank you for taking the time.

continued The seventh application; Isn't this talking directly about the fruit of the Pharisees and not of Jesus fruit and that you will know Pharisees by their fruits? You will know anyone by their fruit. The point of the passage though is that they saw what Jesus did; performed a miracle and instead of recognizing that only God or someone sent from God could do this miracle; making this blind and mute demon possessed man see and speak, casting out the demon; they wrongly say Jesus is under the influence of Satan. What a horrible thing to say. This shows the length they will go to reject and rebell against Him. A word study on "Satan" and "demons" will show you the work of the devil. Also remember the message Jesus sent to John the Baptist when John was in prison. John sent to Jesus and asked Him something to the effect was I wrong or are you the Messiah. Jesus sent back a message to John and said look at the things I am doing, the miracles. They testify of Me. Cross References are crucial. Precept upon Precept. Truth upon truth. The author's intent to his audience - Not there that I could see, but I may be wrong - The author's intent to his audience would be achieved by reading the entire book of Matthew and searching for his purpose. I have not studied Matthew in depth so I can't tell you that, sorry. I gave you a quick taste of the inductive method as requested by my brother. I am trying to see how this indcutive Bible study method takes into consideration, not just what we get from the text from just reading it, but what the author meant to convey to his audience and what the author's application was to his audience. - Answer: I believe the application is believe on Jesus as the Messiah. Answer: We know that Matthew is one of the four gospels that testifies to the work and person of Jesus Christ - the Messiah - the Son of God who came to die on the cross, paid the debt for sins. He was in the grave for three days. God the Father being satisfied with His perfect sacrifice raised Christ from the dead, a bodily resurrection. He appeared to many. He ascended to heaven. He poured out the Holy Spirt who comes into those who put their faith and trust in Christ and His finished work on the cross. The Holy Spirit helps us live the christian life. I don't see it here in this method. Perhaps you could help me to understand better, I am missing something, or not understanding correctly? The inductive study method can be found at Precept.org. Also this website Studybibleforum sells the inductive study bible by Kay Arthur. This is what brought me to this site. There is also a website called Preceptaustin.org that favors the inductive study method. Blessings, Val |

Val Sorry for taking so long to get back to you about your answers to my questions about the example you provided about how to do an inductive Bible Study. I do not want to refute anything you said, more rather, I wanted to try out the method as you outline to me for a while. I am interested in methods of how to study the Bible. My concern about that is how we get to an application. In order to glorify God in everything I do, or learn to, I need to understand what God has said before I think I know what it means or how to apply it. Thanks for your help in understanding things and for taking the time to do the work of making an example for me. Luke 7:16 Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light. blessings abound, bowler |

Bowler, there is a book called God are you there, do you care about me that I would recommend. It is used to show those new to the inductive study how it is done. It can be found at Precept.org under store. The part that I gave you is just one little tiny bit. There is much more to it if you truly are interested in it. Blessings - Val | ||||||
