So you are interested in learning about the Bible, you have come to the right place! I have been studying the Bible for over thirty-six years now. I have studied with many biblical scholars from around the world...,but... my greatest learning has come mainly from my own personal Bible study.

In this study, you will find: An Introduction to Bible Study, A How to use a Bible Concordance lesson and a lesson on the Bible Atlas. I will lay down basic information easy to understand so you should have no problem comprehending what is said. As you advance on things get a little more involved, as with any discipline you may undertake to learn...,but... right now let's go with the basics to get you started on the right path.

The first thing you must learn about the Bible is that it is a prophetic writing. It did not come from the mind of man, but from the mind of God. This is the essential truth that you must grasp. Without this truth you will never understand the Bible, no matter how much you study it.

A prophetic writing is a writing given by prophecy. It does not come from the mind of man, but the spirit of God. You must understand this. The Bible is a prophetic writing given by the gift of prophecy upon a man.

Prophecy is a gift of God to man whereby man is able to speak by the spirit of God in or upon him. When he speaks he speaks words that come from the spirit of God, not from man. The entire Bible is a prophetic writing, that is, written by the gift of prophecy in or upon men.

Many men wrote the Bible for example: Moses, Samuel, Isaiah and Paul, but all wrote by the same spirit that was upon them. It is the same spirit in or upon all the men who wrote the Bible. Isn't that great? One spirit many men. That's how we got the Bible.

Ok, now you know the first and most important thing about Bible study Now it is time to begin, Shall we? Now you are going to need a Bible. I recommend the Authorized King James version. It is the most accurate and has been around for about four-hundred years now. The next book you will need is an English dictionary. Most everyone has an English dictionary at home they can use.

Now start reading. I recommend starting at the beginning: at the book of Genesis. Read up through chapter twenty of the book of Exodus. This takes you up to the ten commandments of The Lord from mount Sinai_ very interesting reading indeed. You will get much out of it. Just look up any words that you do not understand, in your English dictionary. After chapter twenty God begins to lay down laws for the children of Israel. This gets to be very tedious reading and is best left for another time.

Next go the New Testament and start reading. Just read along looking up the words you do not understand and you will be fine. You can study like this for the rest of your life. You don't need to go any further. You have everything that you need right at your finger tips. You have your Bible, which you know is the word of God, and you have your English dictionary. You can spend the rest of your life studying like this and be blessed.

So that is all you need to begin studying the Bible. Be blessed by God forever! Amen.
