 When he sent out his early disciples, Jesus directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matthew 10:7, 11-13) After Jesus’ death, first-century Christians continued to spread their message both “publicly and from house to house.” (Acts 5:42; 20:20) We follow the example of those early Christians and find that the door-to-door ministry is a good way to reach people.
I will be starting a "blog" based on our bible study programme that we offer to people when we go door to door. We use a book called 'Whats Does the Bible Really Teach?'. In this Blog we will cover such topics as:
And many more...
I encourage you to follow along in your own Bible if you have one, so that you can see the answers to these topics and more from your personal copy. If you don't have your own bible you can follow along by clicking here.
You might be wondering :
What is the format of the study programme? We take such topics as “God” or “marriage” and examine different Bible verses that relate to the subject. By comparing them, we see what the Bible as a whole says about the topic, and in this way we let the Bible interpret itself.
If I accept a Bible study, do I have to become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses? No. Jehovah’s Witnesses love teaching people about the Bible, but we never force anyone to become a member of our religion. Rather, we respectfully present what the Bible says, recognizing that each person has the right to choose what he or she will believe.—1 Peter 3:15.
What will I learn? You will learn truths based on what God says, NOT a religion.
What you won't learn. You won't be taught religious traditions, beliefs or ideas contrary to what is in the Bible. ONLY what God (Jehovah) says.
I have one request: You are more than welcome to comment! If you have any opinions, questions, doubts please feel free to comment below and ask me. My answers will always be based on what the Bible says I only ask that we discuss things without swearing, name calling, abusive speech and with respect.
Follow me to keep up to date with my latest posts. If you would like me to write about any specific topics about life, family, religion, why the world is the way it is, you name it! that is of interest or concern to you, please comment below and I will do my best to write about them as soon as possible.
