Christians, can you recommend a really good online Bible study? There are so many, and I want to be sure that the one I go to is biblically based and reliable. And how does one tell if the online Bible site they are at is truly biblically based? What should one look for? \n\nAlso, is crosswalk.com good?

Crosswalk.com is the most incredible resource ever!  It has a great many commentaries, bible versions (including the NASB and KJV with Strongs numbers) online bible studies, sermons to listen to, references and notes. Go for it!\n\nBiblegateway.com is also excellent and has the amplified bible as a version- which crosswalk is missing.

Why is "The DaVinci Code" not fiction anymore? I missed that announcement...Anyhoo, if you want to hear solid evidence for Christ, I suggest reading The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel. I am reading it right now, so I can't tell you too much about it, but he talks to all sorts of scholars, some Christian Bible Scholars, some atheists like himself. He presents the evidence (eyewitness, documentary, corroborating, rebuttal, scientific, psychological, circumstantial, and fingerprint evidence). I'm still in the chapter about eyewitness evidence, but it is really, really good. Reading this is a great way to get multiple views, so you can choose.

True, and it is what I've been saying all along. When I was a Christian, I still didn't believe in the letters of Paul. Was it not the prophets of the ancient times that brought laws and the word of G-d through revelation (ie. a burning bush, the direct voice of G-d)? Then years later, the "new" testament is revealed through letters and secondary sources written by people who weren't even there.  Another great point, thanks for the question.

Yes, it is real.  I have seen it before.  Of course many people are not going to like it because it quotes parts of the Bible they do not want others to point out.  Christianity is based on the premise that they follow a loving god.  To point out certain things in the Old Test puts a shadow on what they represent.  So, of course, they aren't going to like it.\nDisclaimer:  I am not saying everything written on the site is True.  But the site is real.

Hope I'm not out of topic but I joined the Seventh Day Adventist a few months ago.  I believe they observe and follow the bible and teachings of Jesus a lot closer than most denominations do. The Seventh Day Adventist keeps all the commandments including the four one(which alot of denominations ignore) and abstaining from pork and other unclean animals.  So far I am happy being a Seventh Day Adventist and so far I havent seen any major flaws in their doctrine.  I'm on my way to Sabbath School now but I'll definately check out that link to the former Adventist Yahoo group when I get back and view some of the opinions on there.  May God Bless.

I'm in Matthew right now, just finished the old testament.  so zero times.  I'm a Biblical follower.  Any religion of Christianity that beleives they are right should be the same, but for some reason they divide themselves into infinite amounts of dissagreement and confusion.  They have ministers and interpereters, but there really only is the Bible to get the knowledge from.

Did you know that John 3:16 perfectly sums up the entire message of the Bible? http://tinyurl.com/ojljl\n\nIf I were to try and rewrite it, it would be imperfect.\n____________________\nYou sent me an email but I cannot reply as your email address has not been "confirmed".

The Bible is a study. It is not ment to be read as a novel. I have been a Christian for 6 yrs and have not made it through all of the Bible. But I know many, many who have. But none who have , that I know would tell yo to just  start at the begining and read to the end. \n\nI recomend Starting in The New Testiment. Try First John. Or Luke Chapt 1 & 2 and then go to First John...\n\nfor my pov on the Bible:\n\nhttp://pages.zdnet.com/mikevanauken/mikesinternetoutreach/id4.html

Interesting how so many people quote a different part of the bible without dealing with the fact that there is a clear contradictino here.\n\nTHis guy posted a verse that says basically, ask and you shall receive. Not "I'll think about it", but you shall receive.  And you all quote verses saying "not so fast".  Well, which is it? Can we move mountains with faith? Only if it's for a good cause? What?

That website is kinda totally based on a matter of opinion. Everyone can find their own truth in their own time, i think that's kinda what Jesus was on about, not just by finding it on a website!

I didn't see the special but this is the only way I could find to contact you and ask you a question. In your question to "unbelievers about the rapture" do you think it is proper to select as a best answer one by a believer? After all the way you Phrased the question you were searching for negative results. I do not mean this hatefully only as "constructive " criticism, if there is such a thing. You can contact me , if you wish , on my 360 page.

Another pick and chose from your part eh? Why don't you believe the bible as whole instead of picking and choosing verses that you think justifies the violent works of your faith? That's too hypocritical to get some bible verse yet deny the rest. This isn't a prophecy, this is a form of praise. Did you analyze this verse yourself, it talks about Israel, are you an israelite? Jesus is the KIng of Zion no other else.
