Armymomof5,
What type of study are you interested in?

Maybe just start at the beginning. Brief historical overview, from a Christ-centered perspective.

God made everything by His word, which is the truth. The truth became man when the true, perfect man, Jesus, was born.
Truth came into the human world through this means, which was God's plan to save the human world from wicked thinking and ways, which lead to death and destruction. God's purpose in this is to bring the human world into agreement with his word, the truth, so that people can experience the good, fulfilled life.
Jesus life and ministry, culminating in His betrayal (by the Jews, who sold him out to the Romans, who sentenced him to be crucified as a criminal) and subsequent death and resurrection, was the means by which God brought the message of healing, the Gospel, to a lost world.

This message of course changed everything, and the reality of its implications in human society, and human understanding, continue to be revealed. What is really being revealed is the rule of law, since the truth has gone out into the land, beginning with Jesus, and then through his apostles, disciples, and all who learned the Gospel of salvation and life through their words. As more believers learn the truth, and live the life and endure, the tradition and culture of truth becomes stronger because of their contributions.

So basically it's about life, and truth. Jesus is the truth, and by shedding his blood, and rising again, he was able to ignite the fire of truth in the hearts of all believers who heard the message. By his crucifixion/resurrection, he was able to impart to us believers who he is, so that we are able to witness and know the truth about life. This way, we are freed from the bondage of sin, which means error/false thinking. He teaches us the truth, so that we no longer believe the lie. The truth is the Gospel of salvation and life, and the lie is the accusation and condemnation, which belong to trust in the flesh. By his ministry, Jesus taught us the truth about life, which is that life is spiritual and not physical, or carnal. Jesus taught us to conquer sin, by overcoming the illusion of carnality.

That should be a good place to start. Any thoughts or questions/concerns?

Vibrate,
I just want to make sure that you are addressing me before I respond or was there someone else that you were referring to in this post?

Well, I was responding to the flow of the whole thread, which was that the other person asked in general, then you asked what element she wished to discuss.
Actually I only checked the dates on the posts after posting my own message, and I realized that her message was sent in February, and yours in April. So I guess it's safe to say that's no longer a live thread.
But I'd love to talk about it, if you're interested. Any thoughts?

For discussion you should use another forum! Very Happy
