By D.E.V.O. I mean Debates Evolutionists and Various Others.
If you feel called to search deeply into the "hard questions," and neither your faith nor your family life is suffering because of the amount of time you spend on that pursuit, then answer with the web address of your favorite apologetics website, collect your 2 pts, and move on to the next YA challenge.
OR
Is Bible study for you not primarily a way to increase your knowledge of God and his will, but rather a frantic attempt not to be shown up by atheists who know more about the Holy Book than you do?Heaven is made up of people who come to the Lord with the trust of a little child. You can defend the intellectual rigor of the Bible with an atheist 'til the cows come home, but if he doesn't WANT to have that trusting attitude, the questions aren't going to end, ever.

TK, since you're a newcomer, I'll cut you some slack. I asked this question because of THIS question:

MIKAYLA: Thanks. I didn't even realize the song referenced evolution. I was an appropoet and I didn't know it.
Well that's all the time for witty repartee I have for today. RL calls.

I do apologize for this, but I have to answer your question with a question.
I took your meaning to be that if men go to bible studies for anything other than expanding their knowledge then that is a bad thing?
If I don’t know the bible then I am being “shown up” by someone who does? (Atheist or otherwise)
So all of this begs the question, are you having issues with men who go to bible studies?
Peace and Love
TK

Nice example of yet another Christian stealing a secular idea.
Like all the t-shirts you see in the mall of secular icons twisted into a religious meaning . . . bit annoying really.
BTW, for those who don't know, DEVO is a musical band and her question is a take off the lyrics from their song called 'Joco Homo' (and I see a reference to the song 'Whip It' in your username too)

So, let me see if I got this....
Just be a sheep, right?
Be trusting like a child, right?
Don't do too much thinking, that's the devil trying to subvert your faith, right?
If you're going to read, just read the stuff you're "supposed" to read, right?
Don't debate, don't discuss with your critics, right?
WOW.... and you say it so lovingly
How can that not be creepy to anyone with any common sense and reason???

Christian-thinktank is a joke. I owned everyone who tried to debate me with that site. Suck it, Trebek.
