Bible Study: Genesis 1

So, the Bible is incredible. It contains so many answers, but creates so many questions! Ernesto and I read Genesis 1-3 last night and discussed, chapter by chapter. It was a lot of fun and I (once again) highly recommend reading the Bible with your spouse! But we quickly realized, there is SO MUCH to discuss. Originally, I had intended to do multiple chapters per blog post, but after last night’s thorough discussion, I think we’re going to take it a little slower – one chapter at a time. So, below I’ve provided the text (NIV) so that you don’t have to look it up elsewhere… Then we’ll discuss!

Bible Study, Anyone?

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

– Hebrews 4:12

Have you found yourself wondering what the bible REALLY says about certain topics? Maybe you’ve heard a lot of debate about what scripture really says or what it really means. I know I have… I’d love to get to know the Bible with open eyes, an open heart and an open mind. If you’d like to join me for open discussion, I’d LOVE to have friends with whom to share in this adventure!

It may seem crazy that I’m wanting to tackle something so grand as the Bible. It’s a big book… And confession time: I’ve never actually read from cover to cover. Although there are probably many people that are in that same position, I’ve decided that I want to change that for myself… I love God, but I want to have a closer relationship with His word. I want to have a greater confidence in myself and my beliefs when I’m discussing the BIG ideas with friends, family, and anyone who wants to talk! I also want to make sure that I am living in line with God’s word (as much as possible – obviously a few things have changed since the period in which the Bible was written – we’ll discuss some of the historical significance and happenings also to clarify certain parts of the text).
