Weekly Bible Study The Exodus Story Part I

Genesis 50:22-26

This week we explore the chronology of the Bible from Creation to the Exodus. We take on the so called problems of the 400 & the 430 years, biblical inerrancy, translations, scribal errors & biblical corruptions, and what the bible student’s attitude should be when approaching what appears to be an error in the Bible.

Event/Person Passage Total Time from Creation (years)
God created everything. Genesis 1–2 0
Adam became the father of Seth at 130. Genesis 5:3 0 + 130 = 130
Seth became the father of Enosh at 105. Genesis 5:6 130 + 105 = 235
Enosh became the father of Kenan at 90. Genesis 5:9 235 + 90 = 325
Cainan became the father of Mahalalel at 70. Genesis 5:12 325 + 70 = 395
Mahalalel became the father of Jared at 65. Genesis 5:15 395 + 65 = 460
Jared became the father of Enoch at 162. Genesis 5:18 460 + 162 = 622
Enoch became the father of Methuselah at 65. Genesis 5:21 622 + 65 = 687
Methuselah became the father of Lamech at 187. Genesis 5:25 687 + 187 = 874

Weekly Bible Study Romans Part XI

Romans Chapter 16

Well cover Paul’s introductions, his audience, building credibility, and the patriarchy; the curious ending of Romans, the turning away, the perversion of the gospel, and warnings of those who do not serve our Lord; Paul’s two sentences in Rome, the essence of the gospel; Paul’s important “post-scripts”; magnifying Paul’s gospel of grace; ans a survey of the historical narrative in Acts, (starting in Acts 20) to get the rest off the story of how Paul finally made it to Rome, and his ultimate earthly, (and heavenly) fate.

Weekly Bible Study Romans Part X

Romans 14 & 15 This week we will study about Unity in the faith at a time when there were differing requirements for some Jew’s salvation versus the gentile believers. Who is the “weaker brother” described by Paul, and why does he use the example of eating only vegetables? Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and to Azariah, (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) and studying the Bible PRIMARILY as an historical narrative.

We’ll discuss the complete nature of the Biblical Canon, and the doctrine for all believers today:

  1. God created the universe and everything in it.
  2. Sin has brought about death.
  3. All of us have sinned and will die.
  4. God offers forgiveness and salvation from death by Jesus Christ if you will believe Him.
  5. Do you believe?

We’ll examine so-called “easy-believism”, more about circumcision, failed prophecies in the bible and why they fail, the fact that God is a person, and Paul’s preaching “to the Jew first, and also to the Greek”.
