Bible Discussion Thread

I'm new to this site and I was quite surprised at all the "in-depth" individual analysis being offered here. I'm 72 years old and was raised in the Baptist Faith. I was taught if its gonna happen it's because God willed it to happen because he is God, the Alpha and Omega, and he is in control of everything in this world. In my opinion, people don't have to "overthinK" the books of the Bible especially Revelation because it's still gonna happen the way it's written. Save all the questions and analysis and ask God when you meet him because it's gonna be sooner than you think. Does anyone think that after the huge earthquake in Russia that a volcano erupted which has been silent for over 600 years was not by the hand of God?

Welcome to you Legettj and appreciate you writing in. You're correct that all that the Bible has revealed to us will happen regardless of how much we meditate on & analyse the Scriptures. But for me personally as one who loves and studies the Scriptures, this Site has been a great blessing as I can share with other likeminded brethren what they have learned from their studies & be challenged afresh to what I believe. I don't get this type of "in-depth" spiritual interaction in a Church fellowship, for most I find are content with what they've been taught & are not prepared to dig deep into the Word & allow the Holy Spirit to reveal precious gems of Truth. All I can say is, if one is truly hungry, then only the meat of the Word can fully satisfy. Blessings.
