CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. 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. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Paul123 asks: "how to study the Bible ... Can anyone tell me anything."
Get a Study Guide.
In this way, you can follow the lessons of a person who is proficient in Bible Study.
I would ask my Pastor for his choice of a book. He will give you the name of a book which is informative, AND does not go against your Denomination's Doctrine. One bad thing about just going out and picking a book is: Until you get a ways through it, you won't know if it's actually going to RUIN your Faith (instead of edifying it).
Certainly, you can ask a trusted friend at Church. He may have read a book that strongly influenced his Spiritual Life.
If you choose to NOT read a book about it, then maybe begin by reading ONLY the Gospels.
Read them several times.
THESE are the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I did this for a few months, and it helped me.
