Why is it that when one certain denomination replies, their adherants always have a very haughty attitude?
The rest of us are looking for the Truth of the Word of God. Whereas a some say, "I will always go with the truth, as long as it is in my church that I already go to".

If you're want to go into deeper Bible Study, I strongly suggest you first take some time to study theology before actually studying any particular books in the Bible. This has helped me tremendously and I don't regret it as it has given me insight to interpret what I read in the Bible in a different way now than I did before. It is important to know how the Bible was put together, who wrote it, when it was written, whom it was aimed at and how the various translations were done over hundreds of years. Once you have an understanding of Theology, you can truly benefit and gain knowledge from reading the Bible. It is a maginificent book to read, but too many people make the mistake of taking every word in the literal sense, leaving themselves open to doubt when they come across contradictions, of which there are many. However, any student of theology will be able to tell you why these contradictions exist. Our Christian religion is based on the Bible and the Bible contains the truth. People tend to put to much importance in minor details rather than seeing the broader picture which the Bible presents to us, which is why Theology will benefit any person who really wants to study the Bible in-depth.

I found that Bible Alone, Salvation by Faith Alone,rejection of the Eucharistic Real Presence were unbiblical from deeper Bible study. The is no such thing as taking the Bible alone withoiut interreting it through the lens of some tradition and the teaching of some magister or teacher.

Jehovah's Witnesses have a free Bible study program. It can be in your home for an hour a week or anywhere else you'd like, even on the telephone. It can be on any subject you choose. The main textbook will be the Bible. I learned more about the Bible in three weeks than a lifetime of going to church.

Go to the Biblical Church. I did and I have never regretted it. In fact, I still feel sick over the time I wasted at the other one.

If you're certain your church is un-Biblical, get out! If the teaching is not from the word of God, then it's from you-know-who. Find a new church.
God bless you!

A church that not teach the Bible is not even a church, it is a cult. Find a church that does teach the Bible.

After my many years of bible study I didn't find the church to be particularly non-biblical, I found the bible to be particularly non-sensical. It does not hold water. I eventually became an atheist after further lengthy investigations and consideration.
