What Is Your Group Bible Study Like?


I find considerable differences between the Bible study groups I attend containing traditional protestant believers and those who study from the Jewish Roots perspective. What can it be compared to you ask?
 
 It can compared to a couple that was invited to a celebration banquet. For the occasion, both the man and the woman put on their best clothes. When they arrived, both the man and woman looked around to see what others were wearing. The man was relieved to see that other men were dressed as he was, while the woman was pleased to see that no one else was dressed in the same manner.
 
This is the interpretation…Traditional protestants find reassurance in expressing the same beliefs as other protestants.  Those who study the Jewish Roots of our faith are excited to discuss new insights that reveal God’s amazing and infinite nature even when those insights force an individual to expand their understanding beyond previous boundaries.
 
I write these comments during my local Bible group's study of the Book of Hebrews where some expanding is in order, but can it be achieved???  Please pray that I present it in a manner where it can be achieved.
 
May we be inscribed in the Book of Life for a blessed New Year.
