Why not start with the beginning to better understand the gospels and not limit or force the time spent in discussing? I would be very interested in a study if it were not so structured - doctrinal or campfire - and just simply a study discussion.

@AkioTsukino i am with you and like yo begin in the beginning but i think more people will get more out of the gospels. But if we get enough people interested, i will put another poll up to see what people want to start with.

@Random3838 Did you know that Jesus created the heavens and earth? Whenever God or angels spoke to anyone, in the "Old Testament" it was Jesus speaking on behalf of God? With Adam, with Moses, with the prophets, with Lot, leading the Israelites . . . it was Jesus, who was the chief of angels in heaven. I think there is often some division drawn in the Bible - Old and New - and people like to hear stories about Jesus, but Jesus didn't just appear in the "New Testament" he was there, as he said, before the world began.
That's why the beginning, often overlooked, is so important to study. But most people will probably vote for the Gospels.

@AkioTsukino i absolutely agree. Jesus is God and God is Jesus and like wise with the Holy Spirit. 1 God in 3 persons.
I think you can study both at the same time. I think it was Ignatius whobsaid the New testament is hidden in the Old and the Old is revealed in the New. Like the Gospel of John, the first chapter is just the bugging of Genesis reworded.

No. That's not what I meant at all. You know what? I think probably I would be disruptive to your study. I was thinking of starting one myself. I wasn't even aware this forum was here. You've brought it to my attention. I think it would be best if we had separate studies. Maybe I'll drop in once in a while and comment so long as my comments won't be to disruptive. I'm sure we agree on some things.
