I love to study the Bible, Not just read it but really study it. Getting a few commentaries, Not just one. Seeing what they say about the verses, and then forming my own educated opinion. There are lots of places in the Bible that if you simply read, you will not get the correct meaning of the verse. One word can change the whole meaning, and it depends upon the language of origin. and whether it was interpreted correctly or not. Most of the revised Bibles have most of the correct words, etc. But still are in error on a few things. Finding out what a frontlet that the Israelites would but on their foreheads or between their eyes is. finding out the the five porches are not porches at all. it's these kinds of things that intrigues me about the word of God. Finding out truths and not just excepting other peoples opinions.
I bring this up because I will be starting a Bible study group at the nursing home. It starts tomorrow. I will be there and I really don't want to say "teaching" because I expect to learn just as much from these old Saints as I could ever teach them. We will discuss each verse and learn from each other. I know these old saints have plenty of knowledge stored in their memory banks, that's just waiting to be told.
So please keep us in your prayers. the group will be Monday, tuedays, wednesday at 10:30 and friday at 2:30 after I sing at 2:00.
God Bless love, hugs, kisses
