I like anything from Bart Ehrman. He tends to be scholarly and accurate, especially in his understanding of early source texts.
Moxley - Posted - 11/09/2009: 07:42:25
At work we're studying 'One Heartbeat Away" and it's by far the most comprehensive book on religion I've ever read. If you have doubts read this book! There may be an on-line study with it on the link below:

We go through a bunch of studies at our Tuesday AM men's group (meet at 6:15A!). This summer we did Revelations and now are immersing in Rob Bell's "Velvet Elvis".
But what I'm MOST excited about is a study we have coming up next year. It's based on the book "Serve God Save the Planet." My wife's group just finished.
I haven't found it to purchase yet, but her group highly recommends it.
Good for you, Adam!!

I do as well alpha.... I was looking for a supplement for my daily readings and devotions. I'm trying to watch and read less news and get deeper into the word.
I cant see any reason to get into a fight on this one....

No reason for fighting here. The way I see it there are people who have devoted their lives to interpreting and understanding the Word. Same as any other subject of study; math, philosophy, history, etc. It is always good to expand one's knowledge by taking advantage of the past studies of others. Why, some people even get paid to impart their knowledge onto other folks who want to learn. Personally, I'm taking notes on ALL the suggestions given here.
P.S. I'm also keeping the popcorn popper hot.

There are hundreds if not thousands online. Google or any of the search engines will bring up more than you can ever look over.
Mathew Henry, James Dobson, and many others have study guides and commentary’s available.
Im sure it would be hard to just pick one out of the blue, but you may have to just give one a try.

The "fight" is mosty because religion is a prohibited topic on Banjo Hangout. But clearly no one cares right now and it's perfectly civil so far, so there's no problem!
Zach
Nosferatu - Posted - 11/09/2009: 14:58:29
Religion isn't a prohibited topic on Banjo Hangout it's religious debate that's prohibited.
Adam is only looking for an online Bible course, I don't see anything to debate...Unless someone is itching for a fight.
Thank you,

Nope! I think Mike just assumed religion would turn nasty, and I thought the rules said religious topics were prohibited, not religious debate. Guess I need to read the rules! All is well.
Edit: I see. Discretion of the mods. Nope, nobody here itching for a fight.
Political and religious topics are prohibited. We've already tried allowing these and decided against it. Non-argumentative religious topics will be allowed at the moderators' discretion (ie, a "Please pray for so and so" topic is fine.) Religious and political debate are not allowed.

I highly recommend reading and/or referring to the original source texts. In case you're not fluent in greek, latin and hebrew, I reiterate my recommendation to study Bart Ehrman or others who understand the historical context.
Edit: Oops! Ehrman is not available online, only in published texts. There are, however, some online lectures in iTunes U if you are so inclined.

Hey there atracksler. Not really sure what it is you want to study (are you looking for a specific topic or general information that makes the Bible "fit" for you?), but you can go to THE BLUE LETTER BIBLE as a start.  It's kinda generic (as far as I can see & not really affiliated with any one group or church), so it might fit your needs. Were you to refine the wording about what you want to learn (before typing it into Google), you might come up with better results suited for your purposes. Good luck!!  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Good question! There are so many different bible versions that it becomes a difficult decision. I prefer the so-called "fundamentalist" approach, which states that the Bible is the actual word of God, and is inerrant.
My absolute favorite site for Bible information is Answers In Genesis.
http://www.answersingenesis.org/
I visit that site at least once a week. Always something new! The blog, by Ken Ham, is also excellent.
My second favorite bible-related site is Benny Hinn Ministries. Benny, as you probably know, uses God to perform amazing healing:
http://www.bennyhinn.org
Whichever bible you choose, I wish you good luck with your studies.

If you hate to say it...then why did you? The BHO DOES matter to me, and I don't appreciate your are anyone else telling me what should matter to me. You give YOUR opinions on many things don't you? I was asking two questions. Period. I suppose if you see something wrong happening on your street, are you going to turn the other way and let whatever is happening continue, because you are not a policeman?

Ha!! That reminds me of a joke, that has some "truth" to it. "A new young monk arrives at the monastery. He’s assigned to help the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand. He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript.
So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this; pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up. In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, “We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.”
So, he goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscript is held as archives in a locked vault that hasn’t been opened for hundreds of years.
Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot. So, the young monk gets worried and goes downstairs to look for him.
He sees him banging his head against the wall, and wailing “We forgot the R. We forgot the R.“
His forehead is all bloodied and bruised and he’s crying uncontrollably.
The young monk asks the old abbot, “What’s wrong, father?”
With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, “The word should be celebRate!”" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

if You study it out completely The Dead Sea Scrolls, bear out everything , plus agree with The K.J.V. Bible, The only true bible, like Revis said, I looked it up, and You can to, evreytime a new Version comes out, It (HAS TO HAVE A DOCTRINAL CHANGE),, NO kidding, look it up, The only REAL bible is The King James Bible, While You are at it look up Wetcott & Hort,, They started Allmost all these translations., For a little proof, Do a search for Dr. Smauel Gipp, He can answer every question about The KJV, Check it out, Then You will no what Bible to study, and I think He has Bible Study course there also?

Revis, that is exactly correct, copies of copies of copies with lots of editors. That is one of Ehrman's main topics and it is fascinating. I think you might enjoy studying his books.

I promised I would, and it has. One post says that the Catholics have been sincerely, but ERRONEOUSLY copying the ancient texts, and implies that their doctrine of priestly celibacy is something to laugh about. And the post objecting to it, points out that anyone printing and distributing any Bible except the KJV, is not distributing a "real" Bible. If I were to tell anyone that any part of their Belief System is not "real", I would expect to be banned from this site, forever. So, before the lock, and before this entire thread disappears: Anybody who can find a direct quote, in Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, in any English language translation of the Bible, where Jesus himself teaches us that we must accept, as literal fact, every bit of the Bible, please send it to me at mgregorybanjo@core.comThank you. And if He didn't say I have to, then He and I are in most harmonious agreement. Amen to that.

I apologize to any and all who were offended by the joke I posted. It was in no way pointed towards any one person/ group/ or belief system. I read it on the internet many years ago, (kinda) remembered it/ then googled it to get it "correct" before posting it here, with no malicious intent whatsoever. I like fun and humor. I guess I don't post it as well as Mike does. Again - - - sorry if anyone was offended. That was never my intention.

Thank You Revis, I'll do that. For your info, I was raised Catholic, got involved with a Jesus Freak group in the early 1970's, then ended up in a cult. After I got out of the cult (25 years ago), I ended up checking out several different churches, and the Baptist church (as well as a Messianic Jewish Congregation) that I ended up participating in for a while especially gave me a lot of food for thought. I used to think "I knew it all" way back when, concerning spiritual matters. I'm smarter now than then, realizing that many have much to offer and I don't "know it all" like I used to. .
