The Beatitudes are always good.
Or you could analyze that lovely statement: "This is my body" and discuss why some churches don't accept that simple statement as a fact and think it was symbolic while others take it literally.
PS to jj - the teaching of the Catholic church is that those children did procreate with each other until there were enough people so they didn't have to have such close relationships, at which point families no longer intermarried that way. If you accept any of that story, this is a reasonable conclusion.

If you're looking for subjects for discussion, here are a few:
Will we recognize loved ones in heaven?
What is the Christian view on euthanasia?
Can a person lose his salvation?
Does Scripture tell us anything about animal rights?
What is the evidence of being born again?
Does each Christian really have a guardian angel?
What is to be the Christian's attitude toward death?
There are scriptures in the Bible to give insight and answers to these questions.

If you are looking for Theology - study Paul's Epistle to the Romans.
If you want to study how we should behave - The Epistle of James is really good.
Any way you go will work, but I recommend a good Study Bible and some good commentaries. Do it in a group, because other people will see things that you will miss, and vice versa.

How about the Bible's crazy rape laws?:
Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
What kind of lunatic would make a rape victim marry her attacker? Answer: God.
Death to the Rape Victim (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB)
If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.
It is clear that God doesn't give a damn about the rape victim. He is only concerned about the violation of another mans "property".

Ask the people you are studying with who they relate most to in the Bible. What person seems the most human to them, the most inspiring?
To me, its Paul. He was very human, and realized the errors of his ways, corrected them, and spent his life dedicated to travelling the world, writing more books of the Bible than anyone else. His life was a great reflection of Jesus and God, in human terms.
Most people will have different answers. Let each one speak their turn, and everyone will leave better for the knowledge and insight. Have a great study!

The Book of Genesis is a great study.
The Book of Genesis has sometimes been called the "seed-plot" of the entire Bible. Most of the major doctrines in the Bible are introduced in "seed" form in the Book of Genesis. Along with the fall of man, God's promise of salvation or redemption is recorded (Genesis 3:15). The doctrines of creation, imputation of sin, justification, atonement, depravity, wrath, grace, sovereignty, responsibility, and many more are all addressed in this "seed" Book called Genesis.
Many of the great questions of life are answered in Genesis. (1) Where have I come from? (answered in Genesis 1:1) (2) Why am I here? (answered in Genesis 15:6) (3) Where am I going? (answered in Genesis 25:8). Genesis has appeal to the scientist, the historian, the theologian, the housewife, the farmer, the traveler, and the man or woman of God. It is a fitting beginning for God's story of His love for mankind, the Bible.

Study the gifts and promises one receives after salvation. Such as eternal life, victory from sin ect. See how much you can come up with and search the Bible. I am just starting a Bible study on this myself. It makes me appreciate and remember how wonderful my salvation is. God Bless!!!

yes.
How about the trinity?
You could start by looking up the word trinity in your Bible.
Then, when you do not find it, you can look for the so called trinity proof texts.
What you will find is a couple of verses that name the Father,Son and Holy Spirit, and many other verses that only refer to the Father and Son.
Then, what I would suggest is to try to research the history of the trinity, and then ask yourself, why the doctrine did not come to light until centuries after the last books of the Bible were written.
I think you and your Bible study group will find the study fascinating.
