This week’s Bible reading is Exodus 21-40, 4 chapters a day. We’ll do Leviticus the following week.
Overall year’s plan is here.
This Week Is Readers Week!
We’ve covered a lot in these first four weeks through the Bible, and I’ve gotten great feedback and input from y’all. Now I need some space to rest. I believe a week will let me get caught up.
You can tell how much I need the rest by the fact I scheduled this post a day early, forgetting today is Sunday! This is Monday’s post, which is okay, it will be there on Monday.
You have two (and many more) answers for yourselves:
- Ask questions in the comments about today’s reading.</li
- Answer other people’s questions when you see them
And I will pitch into the discussions as I am able, though I am going to be working on the following week’s blogs already.
Don’t give up on the Bible reading! That is the point, to make the Scriptures comfortable to understand (though once you understand they provide their own discomfort), so that you become practiced at loving all the Words of God, digging deeper into them, and obeying them.
So "pay it forward"; share your thoughts with one another.
I’ll schedule a post with with the right Bible reading each day of the week so you can keep your Q&A among one another separated on the right days.
There are a lot of opinions and rumors about Constantine, the Council of Nicea, and the events of the fourth century that changed Christianity to Christendom. Not only will you get the incredible story, with all its twists, plots, and intrigues, but you will find out how history is done and never wonder what is true again.
Wow! this bible study has been so good, I have loved your commentary Shammah! In fact I spent the afternoon (since I was ‘resting’ from the cold /flu thing I got this weekend:/) just delving in your teaching and the links you put up. jWell I have one question/observation for you (or whoever comments back?) Exodus 24:9 When Moses goes up with Arron and the elders in verse 10 it says ‘and they saw the God of Israel’. Then goes on to describe Him. This seems different than the other appearings of Jesus, and the name is different. Is Jesus refered to as the God of Israel. I always thought that this was God (the Father), but ‘no man has ever seen Him’?
It does sound different. From what I read in the early writings, though, their impression of God the Father is that he not only has not been seen, but cannot be seen. Thus every appearance of God on earth had to be the Word of God, not the Father, who is invisible, and fills all things.
The apostles seem to agree when I think of a passage like Colossians 1:15, where the KJV says, “[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over every creature.”
