Christian Weddings
Bible study group...kinda long
So I have been going to a girls bible study started by a girl from high school. My MOH introduced me to it and I have been attending because I need to interact with others outside of work and family. But right now, I don't like what they are doing in it. It's nothing biblically wrong with it. I just don't like that they are covering a certian topic with a lot of verses instead of going through one book at a time. Some of the verses, I feel get taken too much out of context and I feel like sometimes I get looked at strangly because I have some different ideas on what the bible verses mean. Recently I have become very uncomfertable with what's going on. Again it's nothing bad that they are doing. I don't know if it's just me and I should ignore it or if I should say something or if I should just leave the bible study all together. I'm really confused.
WR: Yes, we did get a photographer and a lady from my church has offered to cater the wedding for only the cost of the food (about $200). I am excited to theses checks finally out of the way.

Re: Bible study group...kinda long
Unfortunately, I am in terrible need of a small group and haven't been abe to find one since moving back home. I could probably join in one at my church, but everyone is much older than me and I don't really enjoy them. Coming from someone who is sorely lacking in fellowship right now, I would say ride this one out until things go back to normal, and just enjoy the conversations for now.
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy[a] unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[b]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.

Maybe they aren't going through a lot of verses at one time because to really get all of the background history, as a whole, you'd really have to start from Genesis. They might not want the Bible to be read like a big story book {which it kind of is.} I think some people pick topics because it can meet people where they are. If some people in the group are depressed, yall can study depression. If someone is sick and need healing, yall can study scriptures that relate to sickness and healing. Someone might need to know about the power of prayer, so yall would study prayer. If the right person is teaching you guys, then they would have studied the history and content of the scriptures before presenting it to you.
I hope this makes sense.

There is a book called Bible in 90 days, and it lays out a reading plan to read the bible from Genesis straight thru to Revelation. There are also discussions and stuff to go with it. The group I am in is doing this now.

That's great that it has discussions to go along with it. Then once you're done reading the whole bible and have an understanding, I think using topics is good.

Yea that's what we are doing. So many people haven't read the whole bible, therefore read scripture out of context. So we figured we'd take care of that first, then go back and study!
