Are theologians present at every one? Because that's what we would need there to answer our complex hundreds of questions about the inaccuracies, contradictions and problems with the bible....

Bible Study is a way of fellowship and gathering for people who faithfully follow Christianity. I don't know if that would serve you in any way. To discuss contradictions and inaccuracies in a Bible study would be very inappropriate and disrespectful. I'm sure there are plenty of forums where you can intellectually debate your views with Theologians. Check with Universities and different seminaries. If you are interested in doing some "undercover" work, then I hope you are a method actor, because if you show up at a Bible study; people will come up to you and think you are interested in becoming part of the faith. Good luck.

Well, if you came to the Bible study with an arrogant attitude and a predetermination not to believe, the only thing a Bible study would do is to increase the measure of your guilt when you came into the presence of God for judgment having never accepted the gracious gift of his dear Son on your behalf.
If you came with an open mind like an impartial juror and really wanted to search out the truth of the Scriptures and get reasonable answers to seeming contradictions and other things that are often hard to understand about the Bible you could walk away a new creation in Christ with the blessed assurance that when you shuffle off of this mortal coil you will be accepted in the beloved and experience fullness of joy and pleasures forever more in the presence of your loving Father.

Hello friend,
Not being a theologian, I couldn't speak as to whether they could answer all your questions. But this I know, it's not a Bible study that you need. If your intent is to defame and discredit God's Book, this forum serves that purpose well.
However, if you have a heart that seriously wants to know truth and
are willing to let go of preconceived ideas about God, what you need to do is go straight to the source - God Himself.
He's not afraid of any question you might throw at Him. He knows if you're asking genuinely or mockingly.
If you dare, get serious with Him. Get alone somewhere and ask Him hard questions. Have an open Bible at hand. You might be surprised what you hear.
Blessings,
2 Tim 2:7

bible study would do nothing more than show what others believe and helpt to show where the hatred and prejudice towards us agnostics and athiests comes from
To niki-niki-tembo i would like to comment that that sort of you dont believe so you cant try to understand type of mentality is the same type that leads to jihads holy wars religious persecution and global prejudice. It is the responsibility of every person to have a basic understanding of the beliefs of others so that they are a more rounded person and are capable of understanding without judgement. You do not want to have agnostics and athiests in bible study because heaven forbid they become christian or such or that you actually start to believe against the bible. Finding the real truth is scary but worth doing. I would seriously consider learning about other beliefs so that way you do not add to the global prejudice that is killing innocent people all over the world.

You do not need a Bible to get yourself saved...if you have done so much reading as you claim in The Bible... then you are proof that The Bible do'nt do the save'n... If you do not come to God in The Way He proscribes then you do'nt get into Heaven... all the Bible read'n and Quote'n in the world never saved any one... Only God can do that.... THEN you start to read and study... you got the process back wards... any one of The True Christian Faith can tell you enough to give you the direction you must go to come to God... from there it is between you and God. One-on-one and personal... When you get saved get a hold of me and I will do a Bible study with you.
If you have honest questions about Salvation I will be glad to help...but as to all the great "theological" debtes....shove'em under the rug.... they mean nothing... There is no inerrant text of The Bible in existance today... so most all of your debateable issues will never be resolved in this mortal life... The only thing that needs to be resolved is whether or not you are going up or going down.... as they say
I accept honest email questions concerning the Christian Faith. Or you can check me out at;

All honest seekers welcome

Religious people study the bible all the time to answer their hundreds of questions as well. I have been studying it like an insane person for over a year now because I want answers to my questions. I realize it will take more than my lifetime to figure it out. I am enjoying learning about history and culture, not just about God and Jesus.

It would teach you the reasons that people believe in its message. Don't go in expecting all the answers because believers just don't think about the Bible like you do. Go to gain perspective. The other students may not agree with you on the validity of the Scripture, but you still may learn a lot about human nature and leading a fulfilling life.

Look into Qur'an that was sent for muslims and all other men and women and use your intellect and you'll see that the origins of religion are all from the same God.
Qur'an is the only holy book that has been preserved in its entirety in its original language and does not have any different versions (it is unique everywhere) which should address all of your concerns that you have with the Bible and Torah and enlighten you as it did me on many different levels.
Just buy the book and read it for yourself and draw your own conclusions, but please read it in its entirety before you make a judgement about it.

There are so many studies of the bible already - and all try to explain, but let a lot open.
If at all, the bible can be taken as an analogy to a "way of living".
But people thinking for themselves do not need a religion, actually.

hmmm, and i thought "inaccuracies, contradictions and problems with the bible.... ," were the primary reasons many discount the value that others place on the bible and it's study.
