It was suggested that I start a Bible Study thread since I seemed to make Biblical references in half the other threads tonight (sorry, some days I just can't control myself), so here it is!
Can I set up rules for a thread? All I'd ask is that we have a mature discussion and not ridicule each other or anyone else. We should feel free to give our opinions and to disagree ... but respectfully.
So ideas about how to get this discussion rolling? We could pick a book of the Bible to look at (I'd suggest the book of John because it talks about Jesus and what He did) or pick a topic to discuss.
I was asked to leave the Church when I was a Child, as I asked to many questions, that could not be answered.

I don't concern myself, with other peoples thoughts.They can think what they want, and grind it around in their head.I always get a good nights rest. They however, are exhausted, thinking about me. My trade mark,

Good thing to teach your kids Sharlee, I live by that.
OK, I think it went like this
In the beginning was good, and the good was good until it went bad.
I don't know the rest any more.

Close, In the Beginning there was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God .
Not that's a little different than the beginning of Genesis, but parallel since God spoke into existence the world, and the other creations.
John is like the starting of the new testament taking the place of the old, and Geneses the way I read it.

i'm in.....however, one caveat.....if i backslide and call somebody an idiot....know it is said with love and please try and turn the other cheek.........i'll start by saying if you could only read one small portion of the bible i would recommend the first 7 chapters of Mathew.....all else is support material......my favorite book is Romans and even though i was raised hard core Missouri Synod Lutheran i love James........"faith without works is dead"....can't beat that for a concise, finite statement.
Has anyone ever been a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) It is an International, world wide in depth bible study (run like a military version of AA)...very intense very good very rewarding...???
To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
John is good......it has been a long time and i am a little rusty but will give it a go.....by the way, as a belated tribute to mothers day, does everyone know which one of the 10 commandments is the only one that implicitly comes with a promise from God. ???

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy, nope
Honour thy father and thy mother: your days will be long, and something like that. Ill have to look that up soon, I forget.

Any suggestions?
I am an atheist, so I don`t see myself participating much in this thread. If there are any biblical references to lower taxes or resource sector development, I am all ears.
That place has a cost, and a set plan for you to travel to get there. If you stray of the path you are going in the other direction even as nice, and sincere as you can be.

Fashionista and Sharlee are both very kind people and I like both of them. However, the bible is a collection of man-made fairy tales and nothing more.
I will say though that it is harmless unlike that hate book called the Quran.
The Bible discussion thread
nope
