Welcome to Studying-the-Bible.com
Enter in and explore the world of the Bible. Search out the different topics that can be found in scriptures. Examine the biblical scriptures, bible verses, and various aspects of God and Jesus. Find out who God is, and who you are in Jesus Christ. I believe God intended for everyone to be able to sit down and read and understand the Bible just like you can with your favorite book. I also believe that God can have several layers of messages in one section of scripture, or spread that message across several books of the scriptures. Just like in some of the great literature such as the Shakespearian plays, and books like Moby Dick. It is like going on one big treasure hunt. God will be with you on your treasure hunt giving you various insights or directing you where you can find insights and answers as you read His word.
The main purpose of this site is to find out what is Biblically correct and incorrect. Everything must line up with God's word, and not be taken out of context. I will try my best to do that. I am creating this site as I study the Bible. There is nothing like digging into the Bible yourself to find out what it actually says. This also helps to find out who is teaching and preaching the true gospel of Jesus, and not taking God's word out of context to create a doctrine that really is not there to begin with. There are many preachers out there saying different things. Some believe in the name it claim it, while others don't as a basic example. Some only teach a part of the Bible while leaving the rest alone as not to try to offend anyone. The problem with that is that the person is only hearing half of God's word. Also, God is never afraid to tell it like it is.
I'm hoping as time goes on that this will help someone else in their search for the truth. I don't have all the answers, and no one really does no matter how much they say they do. No one can really know all of God. That is why God requires us to have faith in Him, His word, and in His son. Without faith, we really have nothing. All the promises in the Bible are no good without the faith and belief that is needed to see God work in your life. I know it can be extremely hard sometimes especially when we are seriously hurting physically, mentally, and even financially.
Topics
- The topics are being created as I study the Bible. What I'm hoping to accomplish with this is to put together scriptures of the same theme and see if other themes appear with in that theme. I know this has already been done with many topical Bibles and concordances. To do this is a lot of work, but it does help one to get to know the Bible much better. God might show me something that I could have other wise miss.Insights
- is what I believe God gives not only me, but others as they read the Bible and research the meaning of various passages. Any insights I glean from other sources will be referenced. God can give us insights into a passage, even very personal insights that are needed at the moment. All of my insights will be put on hub pages.

- These are a few of the sites that I have found very good information at. References at the top are large sites that I have found to have very good information and are recommended for studying the Bible. These sites will mainly be reference sites, and ones that I have come to trust over the years.The sites listed under scripture topics had articles that I felt explained the topic well, and/or have uncovered another layer of understanding. Please note that I do not have time to read through all the sites, but try to view a sample of pages before posting it here. The article I post to I agree with, but somewhere else in the site they may post some false doctrine. Always reference your Bible when reading anything, even on this site. I don't want to lead anyone astray, and will do my best not to.
