Bible Note: Nolan, Yes! I'm a Marine in a Retired status! Just thought I'd ask. I am reading them. Very interesting and, though I am NOT a Bibical scholar, I am conversant with Scripture. My concern is that these books could lead to some unbelievers seeing them as an excuse for NOT reading the Bible. That scares me. For a Christian, I think they are a great read. For a non believer, I hope each one has a Christian steeped in the word close by to be the vehicle the Holy Spirit uses to lead them to the Lord. I teach Sunday School and have for years. I am constantly asked to lead a class on Revelations. My response is that God made it the LAST book in the Bible for a reason, we shouldn't go there until we know the REST of the Bible! I read it and use it for reference but that book is scary! All me classes are discussion so I actually learn more than the other members in them because I have to study all week for a 45 minutes discussion! In Christ's Name! |
