Over the years I have done many bible studies, ranging from very basic to extremely complex. What I have found is that most, if not all of them, lack the basic outline of the bible, and its purpose. We must understand that when following any bible study, you will undoubtedly be led favoring one or other theological bias. In other words there are many interpretations and view points as to how the story goes and without understanding the basics it is easy to get caught up in confusion, Even although the bible is made up of many different stories and some even appearing to be repetitions, there is an underlying theme to it as a whole. The better we understand the theme (Gods plan) the history, the less conflict we begin to find I want to go through the basics right from the beginning, and start by looking at who wrote the bible and for what purpose. If you think you know all of this, humor me and do it all again, because, every time I go through this process I learn something new. The most important thing to remember is that without the basics we may never grasp the full picture as God wants us to, and some of the stories may still remain shrouded in mystery. We often tend to overlook the basics, and move on to the more juicy parts and in doing so; we miss the plot and end up in confusion. Please give the link (here) to all your friends and those you feel could benefit from this study. PS we are never too old to learn. Let me leave you with this thought. There was no sin in Genesis 1-2. There was no sin in Revelation 21-22. We begin with no sin; we end with no sin. So what is all the rest of it about then?
