1 | How should I study? | Bible general Archive 2 | Pam D | 120706 | ||
Check out www.bsfinternational.org web site. It gives the locations of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Classes that are held all over the world. BSF offers a four-fold approach to studying the bible. First, you do personal bible study on a passage. 2nd, you take part in a small group discussion on what you studied. 3rd, you hear a lecture on what you studied. 4th, you receive a 6-8 page "commentary" on what you studied. BSF classes meet every week, from Sept to mid May. I think you will benefit greatly from this study's fourfold approach. Blessings, Pam |

Hi, Pam! From your post I understand that one of your concerns is that when you study the Bible you come to an understanding of a passage and once you communicate this understanding to others they tell you that you are wrong... That is an excellent way to study the Bible! Realize that the Bible is God's Word: Divine Teachings. Begin each study session with a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to guide you to the Truth; to clear your heart and mind of human bias; read as little or as much as you are able to assimilite--never read as a task or for the sake of claiming to have completely read the Bible. Use a concordance dictionary and study the cross-references (this you could do either as you read or as a secondary study as you re-read the original passage); this will not only supply you with additional view points but you will familiarize yourself better with the various books of the Bible. Once you have done your personal Bible study, discuss your findings with others (always carry your Bible into such encounters); do not do this hurriedly! If the person/s do not have the time and patience to go over their explanations with the Bible, either request a future meet or look for other individuals that have the time and patience to use the Bible as basis for their support or rejection of your findings. As other members suggested research all possible resources that you may have available. Trust the Holy Spirit to guide you each step of the way. Remember, discovering God is joyful labor not a task to be performed and put out of sight; as James says: "be doer of the Word!" God Bless! Angel |
