Re: Bible Study Cover to Cover
Another request for a bump as Genesis will begin on Wednesday.
It's not too late to start reading!
I'm game. However, just Genesis alone is extremely voluminous as it covers several millenia. And theoretically we could be caught up discussing the first chapter for an entire thread, let alone the whole Bible from cover to cover.
Since this is your baby, I'm suggesting that you control the tone and of the thread to keep it flowing.
Does that sound like a reasonable request?

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt

as there is another thread for that at this exact moment, it would be off-topic in this thread.

control yourself.
if people refuse to think of this as the study of a book, then they can piss off. as i said in the thread (which you should read, btw)
Where is it posted? I was told that it wouldn't be up and running until Wednesday.
people should present their notes from the book and then we discuss from there where people have interest. if it devolves into a fight about whether the flood happened or what the meaning of the word "create" is, i'd suggest people get booted.
That's what I was saying. I was suggesting that perhaps you should control the tone of the thread.
