Candy Lee, I could post every verse that you cite, and we could see if there is any "connection", just by looking at the verses. That would prove my point. As far as this Forum is concerned, there is no such thing as "feel" or "seeing something different." When we interpret a passage from the Bible, we must always ask ourselves, "Am I adding meaning to a verse that is not already there?" You see, that is what you need to guard yourself against. We need to formulate doctrine FROM the study of Scripture, and there is no other direction than that, if meaningful Bible Study is intended. What is Bible Study? To answer this question, let's begin with what Bible study is not. Bible study is not Bible memorization or Bible reading alone, though these exercises are beneficial in their own right and find a place in Scripture study. Neither is Bible study carrying, quoting, believing, or defending the Bible. Surprisingly, Bible study is not even a line-by-line comment or a verse-by-verse "sharing" on the Bible, whether done by a pastor or teacher, by a group, or by a solitary saint. Bible study is the regular, careful, systematic examination of the Scriptures themselves, with an alert mind and a prayerful, open heart, and with the intent to understand and live God's Word. There is no exception to meaningful Bible Study. Blessings to you, Makarios |

2 | shall not taste of death till they see | Mark 9:1 | candy lee | 96881 | ||
I fully agree that to just add scripture to memory without understanding is really of no benifit. I don't feel a need to defend ant part of the Bible because it can stand on it's own. I do believe that before you open your Bible that you should pray for guidence by the Holy Spirit and ask for your eyes to be opened that you may recieve understanding.I also believe what is said in Is. and in Jn that if they don't speak acording to the word it is because there is no light in them. Also in Jn it says if they say they know Christ and they don't keep his commandments that they are a lier and the truth is not in them. Not everyone is perfect. If I am in error I want someone to gently show me the error and help to guide me to full understanding. When we speak harshly we drive others away from the truth. If I am in error then pray for me brother that I will know the truth and allow the Spirit to move on me to open my eyes. You sound like a harsh parent barking at a child. I know that I am a child in the eyes of God. Who knows all? Does any man? So I say to you let us pray one for another. I already know there is mush knowledge in you. Just let us both give messages with a little love and patience for eachother. If I have offended you I ask your forgiveness. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with one another. I know that there is nothing in the Bible about the Maccabees, and I know that Greece was one of the world powers. I think that there is some history in these books that may help in my study. Is this where the Pharasees and Saducees come from? Can you help me with the study of the war of the Maccabees? Your sister in Christ, CL | ||||||

Thanks. How many books are there? Are there any other books that you think may interest me? I know that the bible refers to other books that are not in the copy of the bible we have now. For now I want to read the Maccabees. Thanks again and may God Bless You Always. Candy Lee | ||||||
