For my blog "Prompt: Do you study the Bible? Do you know how to study the Bible? If you do, what is your favorite Bible study method? Why? What makes studying the Bible easier for you? What makes it harder? How many ways do you know of to study the Bible? What are they? How often do you do it? Do you think it is important to do it regularly?

Write about studying the Bible today. Above I have asked some questions about Bible study. I would love to hear your answers. Or tell me your own thoughts on the subject.

I think it it is of utmost importance to study the Bible. God once said through the prophet Hosea that His people died due to ignorance of God's word. It is very important that we study God's word so that we are not ignorant.

The Bible study I use is called historical context hermeneutics. I try to study the Bible to see exactly what message the original writer was trying to convey to his audience. What was going on historically then? What was the cultural message? What conflicts or problems did the writer want to address?

The second method I use is also a type of historical hermeneutic. I ask myself what message the original listeners would have heard? All too often we approach passages like Matthew 24 thinking Jesus is discussing one thing when He is actually discussing another. Most people do not read Koine Greek which is the language Matthew was written in. So they do not realize that there are Greek hints that indicate it was not the end of the world Jesus was discussing but rather the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD. Many of the themes fit today and I have a brother in my congregation who literally has a conniption fit if I suggest anything by end times with Matthew 24. He has never read the original Greek nor studied it.

  Draining away senryu  (ASR)
Contest woman alone
#1986515 by Whiskerfacebythefireplace


Write about this item in your Blog entry today.

I love senryu poetry when it is written correctly. It is supposed to take a shot at life in a humorous way such as this one does. Senryu sees the irony of having a cat but no friends.
