Default A Bible Study - Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christians Only
Victor and I were chatting recently, and we decided that we should start a Bible study thread. Amidst all the heated debate and discussion, I've been searching for some serious Biblical studying, without a bunch of vitriole and sarcasm (of which I am guilty of as well). If you are a Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant Christian, we would love to have a Bible study on this thread with you. If you're not, it's nothing personal, but we would prefer if you stayed out of commenting here.
Of course, in our infinite wisdom, Vic and I couldn't for the life of us decide what specific topic or Biblical passage we want to study, lol. So if you have ideas, please throw them out and we'll get going. I know this seems a bit open-ended, but that's just because I want it to be more of a group study rather than a sermon that Vic or I dole out from a soap box. Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Your Brother In Christ,
FerventGodSeeker

Are you looking to study a topic in general, or a specific book or passage?

Gotcha.

How about a study on the book of James? It's a relatively short book, but it has a lot of really good content.

I think someone tried to do a bible study here quite awhile back and and I believe it was done by studying one of the books of the Bible. I also believe it kind of floundered and disappeared after awhile. I think because this type of study really does need to be super organized with someone leading it, asking questions, directing the flow when it stalls, etc.

People on RF have *no* trouble talking on topics, however.

Lately, based on some things people have said on various threads, I've been wanting to study the topic of salvation. My understanding of salvation is more narrow than those who believe Jesus died for everyone and, after reading some passages in the bible, I end up with more questions.

But...I'll watch the thread and see what's decided. Either way, I'm in.

Good question...I will have to double check with Vic since he's kinda heading this thread also, but I would say that if you are Trinitarian and accept the Nicene Creed then you're free to offer your opinion. If you need me to post it, let me know.

FerventGodSeeker
The emboldened part above requires clarification. Do you mean the unaltered Creed or that changed at the Council of Toledo to include the filioque? (Please don't try to tell me that they mean the same because they do not). I would suggest that (as I believe the RCC has no objection to it) we use the unaltered Creed as the standard. If you wish to use the altered one then neither I nor any other Orthodox Christian who comes along can take part. Please bear in mind that whilst this may seem like a minor point to some Christians, it emphatically is not to us.

James

James
As soon as I posted that I knew you would be along to question it, James. Obviously, since I wrote "Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christians only", I was including our Eastern Orthodox brethren, with or without the filioque clause, to the discussion. The Nicene Creed was simply the first thing that came to mind to determine the basic orthodoxy of a Christian's faith. Would the Athanasian Creed be preferred?
