Would You Participate in a Scripture Study Thread?

[Justin Kissel]

Like the title says, if there was a thread devoted to studying something in the scriptures (a specific chapter, a specific epistle, etc.), would you participate? And if so, to what extent do you think you'd participate?

Justin,

I think this is a excellent idea!

What kind of a program or structure should there be? Perhaps the Epistle and Gospel reading for each day? That is quite a bit to study, I mean each word sometimes must be studied, a sentence, a paragraph, or more may be more than we could handle.

What are your thoughts?

[Jakub]

I have no problem participating and look forward to it.

Pokoj,

I would love to participate in something like that! I love reading the Bible:) Looks like we have a two way tie (again!)

I dunno about specifics, what does everyone else think? Perhaps if look at either the epistle reading or gospel reading for the day, as OOD mentioned? (I think doing both would be too time consuming if we are going to do this every day). Or possibly we could look at passages from Sunday, and then continue the thread through the week? I guess one worry about the first thing (a daily passage) would be that we would ruch through things and not really contemplate them, not really dwell on things. We'd just blurt out or piece together answers, and then the next day our attention would be on the next passage and we'd forget what we'd learnt the day before. Not that that will, of necessity, happen, but I think it's a risk. Perhaps the discussion could even go on as long as people were discussing it, rather than setting a time limit on things. If we have to talk for 3 weeks about a passage, then so be it? What do you all think?

I like using the Sunday Gospel Reading(s) and if we have 2 or 3 ongoing discussions, so be it. We should definitely invite the priests to join in and tell about the sermon our priest gave on that verse. I see this as a massive positive!

[Mary Kissel]

Paradosis and Nicholas, I like both of your ideas, I also think it would be good though if we were to concentrate on one section a week...like discuss the reading from Sunday and spend time on it all week. That way we could be thinking about it the whole time and not rush through things like you said Paradosis. What does everyone else think?
