Word Studies
Word studies are an important part of effective Bible study. Depending on the context, words can have different meanings. If you come across a word in your daily reading, you should check an interlinear Bible to see what the meaning in Greek is. Listen to Bob and Shawn's excellent discussion on word studies and their helpful suggestions.
The Grammatical Historical Method
,
In yesterday's program, Bob and Shawn discussed the different genres included in the Bible. Today they mention one more–eschatological books, or prophetic books. These books make up a quarter of the Bible! So when we study the Bible, we need to do so in a Grammatical Historical way. What does that mean? Listen to Bob and Shawn's excellent discussion to find out.
Does it Matter Which Version of the Bible I Use?
,
Bob wrote an article in Grace in Focus magazine titled "Seven Leading English Bible Translations" where he gives excellent analysis of seven of the translations out there. You can view part 1 of the article here. Which version is the best? Plus, isn't repentance part of the gospel and what about sin? Jesus took care of the sin problem but we need to repent to be in full fellowship with Him. Bob and Shawn discuss these great questions in today's broadcast.
Are We Guaranteed to Be With God in Eternity?
, , , ,
In Gal 5:19-21, does it say that if believers continue to practice the list of works in the passage, they will not be with God in eternity? What is the difference between being with God and inheriting the Kingdom of God? We are justified by faith apart from works but that is just the beginning of living the Christian life. Listen to Bob and Shawn's great discussion on justification and living by the Fruit of the Spirit.
