To be completely fair, the user you quoted never actually claimed that any of those people are false teachers.

Well, that's the thing; given that the course is free, I figured it's just an intro to theology and that my research would have to continue well beyond just that course in and of itself. edit: What is the issue with DTS, in your view?

That's an interesting idea about reading a chapter three times. edit: So does that mean reading every chapter of every book of the Bible three times individually? Also, I do not know much about Stonebriar... I do understand that the Dallas Theological Seminary is a respected organization. I...

Awesome, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip. Should I read through my Bible a few times before committing to taking a theology course online?

I would simply say to be there for him in his time of need and let him know you're there to talk if he needs someone to vent to.

Great! Thanks for the suggestion. I am currently taking the free theology course on Bible.org. It seems to be a legitimate course. Awesome, thank you very much for the recommendations. It was recommended to me to get an ESV Study Bible, which I plan on doing. I currently own a KJ Red Letter...

Interesting... I'll be sure to bookmark it. Thanks! I never really became "born again"... I've just always been a Christian, and in recent years, have decided to study further. Awesome! Thanks for all of these recommendations. I truly appreciate the help.

Very good, I will add this to my book list as well.

I'm sorry I cannot give you more information. I do not know much else... I know that I'm a Christian and I'm interested in how Early Christians thought; I'd also like to learn how to apply those ways of thinking in a modern way. Is there a Church history book you can recommend, or did you mean...

Wow, I actually own a copy of Systematic Theology! I got it on a whim on day. Thanks! I do not own a study Bible, but I do own a King James, Red Letter Bible that I read from daily. Any suggestions on "a good church history book?"

Thanks for the info! I am reading through the laws now.

Hello everyone, Jordan here. I made an intro thread to start off, and was told to come to this forum to discuss my interest in theology. I am specifically interested in learning about how Early Christians thought, lived and practiced Christianity. I consider myself a non-denominational...

Interesting. I will have to add that to my book list! Thanks for the link as well. So is there a specific type of theology I should pursue, based on what I've told you? I was thinking about taking the free theology course on Bible.com

So, how do I decide which type of theology to study? I'm most interested in how Early Christians thought and how they read the Bible. I'd consider myself a non-denominational Christian. As I told Rad, I'm most interested in how Early Christians thought... So how do I proceed from there?

Thanks! Is it appropriate to ask questions about theology there, e.g. "How do I begin studying theology?" I can definitely see that there's a lot of information on here. I'll have to take my time and comb through some appropriate sections.
