-What I found most interesting was the issue (I say issue, but it’s not necessarily an issue) of post-tribulation and pre-tribulation. In Revelation 5:9 The KJV from the Greek manuscripts reads “And they sung a new song, saying Thou art worthy to take the book, for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed US to God by his blood… The…

What I found most interesting in the issue of manuscript evidence was the “Considerations for Canonicity” and there are 5 of them. The first is Language. What language was it written in? Hebrew? Greek? or Aramaic? The second is Authorship, who wrote it? Was it a Prophet or Apostle? The third is Inspiration, the fourth is Acceptance. Was…

This lesson continued with the difficulties of inspiration. I think the most impactful part of this lesson was the explanation of inexact quotations. For instance, Isaiah 40:3 and Mathew 3:3 ““Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight His path.” And there is a slight variation between the two. Another instance is the story of Davids betrayal…

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 15:27:16 -0400

This lesson consisted of the difficulties of defining the word “inspired or inspiration” and we have to be careful how we use this term. Was it the writers who were inspired? Or is it the writings that were inspired? This question can easily be answered by 2nd Timothy 3:16A “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” However even… Read more

This lecture went over went over in great length how we should define “inspiration” It emphasized that the writings, not the writers, were inspired by God. And I think this is a very important distinction. 2nd Tim 3:16 says “All scripture is God breathed” or a more literal translation would be “all writing (graphe) God breathed” 2nd Peter…

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 15:40:01 -0500

This lesson went over the discrepancies, where the bible supposedly quotes the Apocrypha. It went in great detail about Hebrews 11, and also 1st Cor. 7. What I found very enlightening was when the teacher talked about the 40 different flood account stories appearing over various religions over time. The similarities include, 1. A chosen man…

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 22:53:09 -0500

This lecture was absolutely mind blowing (I’ve said that every time I post I think) The most interesting thing I learned, was that the Apocrypha covers a lot of the history during the 400 year silence between the Old and New Testaments. I remember being taught the Apocrypha was, I guess banned would be the proper word. I was always told it…

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 22:42:18 -0500

What I found very interesting about this lecture was that the earliest list of NT books was recorded by Athanasius of Alexandria in 367 A.D which confirmed that the 27 books recognized to this day is correct. In 393 A.D. the Synod of Hippo confirmed it as well. And then later in 397 A.D. it was further confirmed by the Synod of Carthage.…

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 23:03:04 -0500

What stood out to me the most about this lesson was the emphasis on 2nd Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture (or writing) is God breathed and profitable for teaching, reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” In other words, there is nothing that I can…

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 22:43:36 -0500

This lecture talked about Jesus being the final revelation from God. There are 2 complete revelations, the Bible and Jesus. what stood out to me the most was the statement that the bible is the ultimate authority, not the person preaching or teaching from it. As someone who regularly teaches people about the Bible due to the line of work I am…

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 19:47:45 -0500

This lesson was AMAZING! I’m going to try and talk about what I enjoyed the most but there was so much. What I learned, is that in the Gospel of John where it says, “these things have been written so you will believe that Jesus in the Messiah,” and I never understood why it said that. The miracles Jesus performed are proof that he is the…

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 19:03:54 -0500

This lecture was much like the first, an introduction more than an actual lesson. What I found most interesting was the information (or lack thereof) about the big bang theory. or to put more simply, “something came from nothing” of course the argument can then be made “well where did God come from then?” at which point (much like Stephen…

this lecture went over what I’m going to learn in this course. it’s difficult to pinpoint something that stood out because it was just talking what I’m going to learn. I can however say that i am very excited to be doing this course. The two main problems I am particularly excited to learn about in this course are, the accuracy of the…

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 19:02:26 -0500

This lesson was the outline of the book of Psalms. What i found interesting was the categorization of the psalms, particularly the emphasis on imprecatory psalms which means “cursing Psalms” the description states that these Psalms are not for personal revenge nor is bad language used. An example of this would be Psalms 35. However there are…

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 22:01:27 -0500

This chapter went over the outline for the book of Job. What i found interesting and took me several days to do; was found in the for further study section where it said to study and summarize Jobs 4 friends arguments. I found that the argument from Eliphaz argument was was grounded in philosophy, particularly Theodicy, epistemology,…

Amazing post. One of my all time favorite verses is 1 John 3:2: Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

Chapter 18 went over the outline of the book of Esther. What i found the most interesting about this lesson was found in the for further study section where i studied Haman as a “type of Satan.” I guess i never really realized that there’s “types of Satan” I knew that there is Christ typology, but i never studied or even knew there was types…

This chapter went over the outline for the book of Ezra. I actually didn’t know that Israel and Judah were taken captive separately, with 115 years in between. Or that Israel was taken captive by the Assyrians, and Judah by Babylon. I always assumed they were both taken by the Babylonians all at once. Mainly because that’s what talked about, and…

This lesson gave the basic outline for the books of 1st and 2nd kings. What i found interesting about this lesson was the Life and Ministry Principle “Compromise may seem easy but it is always costly later.” This statement is so true. Christianity, by definition is the hardest commitment to make. It involves the hoisting of the cross, and…

This sounds very interesting. I’m always interested in learning about the supposed contradictions. I watched a study on this by Mike Winger the Evidence For The Bible series. Studying Christian Apologetics is one of life’s great joys. It’s a great series if you’re interested it’s on YouTube. It’s about 20 episodes long but it’s well worth…

I love this. I agree 100%. Treating other with love and kindness is really the only way that we can show that we love God. Sure we can say it all day long, but we aren’t showing it. If we aren’t showing the growth and “good fruit” and the Bible says. “Shall we continue sinning so that grace may abound? May it never be brethren” thank you…

In reply to - Olivia Rose posted an update

Focusing on Jesus can make worship more meaningful, like the celebration in heaven. Treating others with kindness shows we’re grasping God’s love, and that’s a big big deal. […]

This lesson was the basic outline of the books 1st and 2nd Samuel. What i found most interesting about it was found in the “for further study” section where it gives multiple passages about conversations with people who previously left the earth. Luke 16:23-31 stood out particularly (the story of The Rich Man and Lazarus. The verse that stood…

This chapter gave the outline for the book of Ruth. What I found the interesting was the “life and ministry principal” of the book, which was “God can turn bitterness to blessing” the reason i found this so interesting is because the word “WILL” wasn’t used (God WILL turn bitterness into blessing) and that’s because that’s not always the case.…

This chapter went over the book of judges. What i found the most interesting about this lesson was in the “for further study” section. It had me fill out a chart for “The Cycle Of Judges” the sections consisted of 5 categories, Sin, Service, Supplication, Salvation, and Silence. This chart alone is a wonderful tool for understanding the book…

I love this. I recently got married back in April (my profile picture is us doing our unity sand) and it was amazing. Being able to declare our love before God and the community of believers. It is absolutely a covenant agreement. I can’t wait for the day my wife and I get to kneel down and worship Jesus face to face.

This chapter breaks down the book of Joshua, what i absolutely loved in this chapter was the “Life and Ministry Principal” it says “No moral or spiritual victories are won without battle.” I believe that speaks for itself.

Now, the key verse is what really stood out. It is Joshua 24:15. I know most people would focus on the second half of…

This chapter gave the basic outline of the book of Leviticus. What i found most interesting was found in the for further study section, where it showed that standard for holiness is both vertical and horizontal. Chapters 1-10 use the phrase “I am holy” (vertical) and in chapters 11-27 it says “be ye holy” (horizontal) The word holy is written…

What i thought was most interesting about this chapter was found in the “for further study” section. It described that the tabernacle was not just a structure, but was symbolic of a greater spiritual truth. For instance, the courtyard is a symbol for the world, the Laver was a symbol for Christian baptism. Really interesting stuff.

Have you tried the NASB? I’m nobody. But I highly recommend it. It’s basically the KJV, in modern English. It’s amazing. I’ve always found the KJV hard to understand. But I’m learning through these courses that’s it’s actually beautifully written.

This chapter broke Genesis down 2 main titles, The History of Humanity, and The Patriarchal History of Israel. I’ve read Genesis, but this lesson completely expanded my knowledge of it, while at the same time simplifying it in a sense. Totally blew my mind. I learned that the word Genesis actually means “beginnings”

This chapter taught me how to put together and how to read outlines. Ill admit that this was a little challenging for me. And I will have to study it a lot more. However, it is an extremely helpful sermon prep tool. what i thought was most interesting was how it breaks down single verses into multiple points and sub points. Very helpful indeed

Concordance’s are amazing. In Jewish tradition they used to be able to simply say a couple words and they would know which verse they were talking about. An example of this would be when Jesus said the words “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me” which is a direct quote from psalms 22. Which I believe was Jesus’ way of saying “go look at…

Chapter 2 of this course is extremely helpful in that which it gives you a solid plan on HOW to read the bible. Not just sporadically, or randomly.

A pastor that I know once told me “Jesus’ final words were it is finished, God did what he had to to, now it’s time for you to do what you have to do.” And that has stuck with me for years. I completely agree that being born again is just the beginning. It truly is a journey! And a beautiful one!

I find it interesting, and something that i didn’t originally know, that the old and new testaments are broken into categories such as law, history etc. the correspondents between the two are what fascinates me. After all we have Law, history, letters, and prophecy in the OT and in the NT we have the NEW law, history and prophecy. Poetry…
