A few tips on how to study the bible.Posted Feb-11-08 07:25:04 PST Okay. Here are a few tips on the subject. If you care about understanding what God wants you to know. When studying the bible (and it is relevant to us all- Don't you want to know how you can KNOW whether or not you are going to heaven when you die?)....keep in mind these tips and apply when obviously appropriate. 1. Take note of WHO the book is written to. Is it the Jews? Christians? 2. Take everything in CONTEXT. Don't make it out to be what YOU think it should say. Let the bible explain itself. 3. Compare SCRIPTURE with SCRIPTURE. The bible even tells us this. The bible isn't going to contradict itself. IT back itself up throughout the entire bible. That is why these and many other points are necessary to keep in mind. If you need further help or have questions, please email me at www.spankydoodles2004@yahoo.com or blog a comment here! I'll check back later. (I have young kids needing help right now).
