I read here that someone was posting a possible e-mail bible study and thought it might be a good idea for us to do our own Bible study right here on the zone. So, let's get started if your interested. In Matthew chapter 6 Jesus gives us specific instruction for prayer. Can you name one of these instructions. If you can post it here. If you don't know, look it up. Post your comments and we'll all learn something and hopefully draw a little closer to the Lord.
As we go, maybe someone else will have something of interest to look up. Hopefully we all grow a little closer and come to know Him better. Loooking forward to hearing from any of you. Donna
Okay, someone post the verse and we shall discuss it. Great idea!
Um, we can also look at revelations chapter 13 and discuss that. I'll have to find it.
Revelation 13 (KJV):
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth
of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly
wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the
beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle,
and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds,
and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from
the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the
sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he
had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which
dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on
the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the
beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had
power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of
the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let
him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
In Mathew, chapter 6, it says that we should not be like the hypocrites when we pray. When we pray, we have to go into our room, close the door, and pray to the Havenly father. We should not babble like the pagans do. I'll post the rest of it later. Thanks for this topic.
