Bible Note: 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 |
