Bible Note: 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.
