No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Should we do a Bible study together in deeper fellowship? A nice slow reading and light discussion of a Bible book? If so what book?

I suggest Psalms or Mark or John or Phillipians.

Other suggestions??

I would be up for the book of Acts. I am studying that now and wouldn't mind having some help with it.

My Sunday School class is doing a lesson on a set of scriptures in Acts. Three months we will be doing it. However, I wanted to get the whole picture of the book and started reading all the in between scriptures that was not being discussed in class. I have read up till chapter 4 a few times. I want to get a really good grasp as to the chain of events and why things are happening. I am not sure how to go about it or if repeating the read is a good idea...but I have never studied a whole book. (I'm still new to the Word)

i will share with you how i study the Bible. I like doing whole books. First i read the book through at least 3 times usually in at least three different versions. Then when i think i have a good overview i begin with verse one and try to get as much out of each verse as i can. When did/does your SS class begin Acts?

9/4 ~~ Acts 2:1-8 & 38-42
9/11 ~~ Acts 2:43-35
9/18 ~~ Acts 3:1-16 (no class cause of an event at our church)
9/25 ~~ Acts 4:1-4 & 23-31
10/2 ~~ Acts 6:8-15 & 7:54-60

Those have been the lessons so far. I have a big problem with bashfulness....so I don't discuss any in class. I am much more comfortable doing something like this online. Feeling more free to ask my questions (which I've got a few so far). On here I can ask the questions and not feel weird about them being said out of ignorance. I am so new to this studying that I do feel very inadequate to study amongst people that know what they are talking about. Feeling like I would slow them down. I need to get over this, huh??? Well, in any case whatever book is decided upon....I am up for it! Good idea!!!

God Bless~~~Newbeliever

we'll leave this open to suggestions tonight and tommorrow morning i will post a poll and Whatever book gets the most votes we'll start studying Monday. OK? -- i get the feeling it might be Acts which seems like a good choice to me. but i want to get as much input as possible and then have a vote OK?
