@fediversebiblestudy Jesus is quite clear: obedience is necessary for salvation. This goes against the teaching of many groups. Earlier in chap. 5, the Lord condemned those who thought and taught that one could consider some commandments unnecessary.

Re-reading the chapter, I notice that in 3 cases, ancestors' brothers are mentioned. I'm familar with Jacob's sons (I admit, largely thanks to Andrew Lloyd Webber...) but not Judah's son Zerah or Jeconiah's brothers.
I assume almost everyone in this chapter had multiple sons. Any idea why a few of these people get a special mention, if they are not direct ancestors?
Hello everyone! I'm sorry for the delay. I wanted this Bible Study to have the perfect beginning. The perfect setup, the perfect study, the perfect timing. So, this created procrastination on my part. I've been praying over this for the last few days and I have concluded that I should just start small and simple. God will grow and evolve this in his own way.
The plan is to start this next Tuesday morning (February 21st, 2023).
We'll start simple by starting at the beginning of the New Testament, one chapter at a time: Matthew 1:1.
Since our timezones are spread out, the study with last the entire day. The idea is this:
1. I'll post the scripture reading. I'll likely use the NET version, but all versions are welcome.
2. I'll post the first question. For example- Q1: What do you love about Jesus?
3. You'll reply to Q1 with A1. For example- A1: He saved me from my sins and brings me peace.
4. I'll post more questions using Q2, Q3 and so on, and you'll respond with A2, A3 accordingly.
Be sure to use the #FediverseBibleStudy hashtag, and don't forget to follow that hashtag. I'll do my best to keep this organized. I'll do my best to keep this moderated. Please keep in mind that this is a public display of our Christianity. A public display of our love of Jesus and we should always behave in that loving way.
If you have suggestions on how I could run this better, please send a Direct Message to this account.
I'm looking forward to getting started and seeing your responses! #FediverseBibleStudy
Hi everyone, sorry for the change of server. It turns out aus.social moderators have some extremist views and official policies, and it just doesn't seem like a good place to be. I looked for a more Christian instance and have come to theres.life. For anyone interested, they're starting a #FediverseBibleStudy early in the new year and I'm looking forward to checking that out.
@Dave42W I'm considering doing 1 question every other day. Other entities doing something similar only allow for 1 hour. But i think I'll have to allow for 24 hours just to allow for everyone's participation.
I'm also a busy guy, so it would be easier to implement a 24 hour study vs a 60 minute study. #FediverseBibleStudy
@jfslicer I'm still working out the details. I'll be using a strategy like #HealthyFaithChat on Twitter called #TwitterChat (I have their blessing to use their idea).
There will be a designated time in which we will have text to read and questions to answer.
For example, I'll post Scripture and Q1 question with the hashtag, and then every one answers with A1 Answer and the hashtag. The hashtag will keep us connected.
This video will give you an idea. https://youtu.be/q0OYSwAz8J8 #FediverseBibleStudy
A couple of things I want to share about the #FediverseBibleStudy is this:
-We will use the #FediverseBibleStudy hashtag in all posts related to this bible study. This makes it easy to find, and also makes it easy to filter for those who don't want to particiapte.
-We will designate a specific time(s) during the week to "meet" in the Fediverse.
-An hour before we begin, A bible verse will be posted to give ample time to read and be prepared.
-I'll post a question about the verse as Q1 with the hashtag.
-Participants answer in that thread with A1 and the hashtag.
-After some time, I'll post a second question about the verse as Q2 and particpants aswer with A2 and so on.
This study will be as generic as possible as to make is as cross-denominational as possible.
That's the gist. Be looking forward to some polls as I try to find the best times and gather input before we kick off. :-)
*still working through all the details, so this plan is subject to change*
