Hello there! Well it seems I'm getting a bit carried away with this whole blogging business! ;)
One of the things I do is study Theology when I'm well enough. Despite finding myself stuck indoors a lot of the time due to health I like to keep my mind active as much as possible.
All the course material I get is sent through the post and I pay per module meaning the time I spend studying is very flexible which is very helpful!
I'm a Christian and I was baptised just over 2 years ago. Studying theology has helped me to understand the Bible more.
This blog is really for people who either want to learn along with me or for Christians to make contact with. Basically, any hate isn't welcome!
So the 1st module I am studying is called an 'Introduction to the Bible'. In my study book there are 10 studies followed by an assignment downloaded online.
I will be going through parts of each study when I update this blog - it always helps me to go over what I've learned as my memory isn't the best despite only being 22!
I'm going to end today's blog with a list of the 10 studies and when I update here then I'll go into study 1 - not the much the theory but the questions and how we answer them etc.
So here's the list:
Study 1: The Book of Books
Study 2: Interpreting the Bible
Study 3: From creation to new creation
Study 4: Israel and God's purposes
Study 5: The promised land and God's good purposes
Study 6: The kingdom of David and God's purpose
Study 7: God's purpose renewed
Study 8: Jesus the fulfiller of God's purpose
Study 9: The Gospel for the nations
Study 10: Awaiting the fulfilment - the Apostles' writings
And lastly, here is a link to my testimony...
