bible study

Christmas Eve services. Zoe said, "I can't wear jeans to church, it says so in the bible." Aidan say, "I don't know the stories, sometimes it gets very awkward when you are singing about stuff you never heard of." So we are starting a bible study.

Yes, me, a former Catholic and my two grandchildren who now are proud owners of their own bibles complete with study notes. Possibly one, two, or three of my daughters. In Catholicism, reading on your own and trying to comprehend was not encouraged. But we are going for it. We are jumping around, reading what we want or need to. I hate to admit it, but being led by the Spirit. That would freak out all the members of our group. So, randomly choosing to read.

We of course started in the beginning. First four chapters of Genesis. We thought the first two but were intriqued by the sin of chapter 3 and the murder in chapter 4.
It is all on email so everyone can comment when they can. No pressure of time committment.

Zoe and Aidan were fascinated in Chapter one with the evolution vs creationism debates. I hedge with a morphing of the two. I was so excited to see in my study guide that the sin chapter is sometimes referred to the relationship or respect for loved ones chapter. Chapter four as the fellowhip of man.

We are going next to do a point of view study. Comparing a same story written in different books of the bible. Kind of like all the stuff we will share. Points of view from the spots in our relationships with our loving Lord. What a nice way to get to know each other again.
