Which book of the bible discusses topics surrounding topics on where Jesus recieved his information to lecture? I read Jesus

used to go around to different temples and speak his words to people. What inspired Jesus to do this? What was the foundation that he had learned HIS ideas from? Does this make sense? Basically WHO was Jesus as a person and where and when did he first have the great perceptions ( how he saw things ) to even Begin with? I apologize if this is off topic...I don't know about the books of the bible very well. So, I just wanted to shoot a few ideas out there I guess. I do appreciate and like how you entertained the word, " Study." I wish to follow Jesus because I love him but I also wish to, "Study," the bible ( it's words and their Origins) in order to truly understand them.

Thanks for listening.

 Maybe the book of James, Romans, and Job.

 Bump! 

I say begin in Genesis and go through the books so many non believers in this upcoming generation.......:(  either way the topics are always uplifting and a blessing I enjoy this group a lot bc I work 12 hour shifts every Sunday

How about a study of one of the Gospels.  Starting off with the word of Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation.

Lady G- Thanks so much for the recommendation! I am now aware of this option- to choose a study bible, I suspect this will be extremely helpful. For anyone interested who doesn't know what a study bible is..it is  an edition of the Bible prepared for the use of the serious student of the Bible..it is  a book that provides scholarly information designed to help the reader gain a better understanding of the text.

I think Genesis and John are both good books.

John is often recommended for newer believers because it helps explain some things.  There are fundamental teachings in this book, but they're given in a way that anyone can understand.

Genesis is good because it provides a great foundation.  I heard a teacher say it like this once - "The Old Testament isn't just a bunch of rules and stories we read.  It is the foundation of and the 'back story' to the New Testament."  While the New Testament does provide Christ's teachings, the Old Testament provides the answers to "where did that law come from?  Why is it that way?" questions. 

I am currently in Job and it is a great book, but it can be hard for newer believers.  Does that mean we shouldn't ever study it?  No, but we may need to work up to something that intense.

I also like James because he gives a lot of words of wisdom to believers.  In the same respect, Proverbs gives words of wisdom to everyone.

Anything from Paul or Peter helps to build up believers and guide us in the way of holy, righteous living so that we can live the life instead of only speaking it.

I'm up for anything - as you may see. 

 Samuel 1 and Matthew

Romans_116 says ...

Jude of the OT? You must be thinking of something else. Jeremiah maybe. Or maybe you meant NT.  Jude is only 1 chapter, that would be a very short study.

Genesis is a very long book. That could take awhile. We would have to do 2-4 chapters at a time. What do you all think about doing a OT book and a NT book at the same time?

 

Holy Cow!  I was thinking about that but didn't know if it was just my ADD brain in overdrive!  A teacher at my church has actually shown how different things in Genesis correlate with the NT.  I find it very interesting!

I agree with Stryker - I would like that too!

I said revelation, mainly because we are living in the last days. It is alway good to study about Christ's ultimate victory, and our blessed hope of eternal life with God the father and Jesus Christ ruling and reigning !! It also will end satan's time of evil and that of his servants antichrist, false prophet, and all demonic activity, because all evil, hell, and death will be cast into the lake that burns with fire and brimestone, for everlasting punishment. While the righteous in Christ will be with Christ for evermore. There will be no more pain, crying, suffering or death, for the father will wipe all the tears from our eyes !! Praise God !!
