Thinkers Bible Studies

There are more than 25,000 different church denominations and many different versions of Christianity, but there is only one truth, and all are seeking it.

God reveals truth to us in three ways: His Word (Bible), His world (what we observe)‚ and His Holy Spirit (inner voice and prayer). Truth on any spiritual topic is nearest to the point where all three come into agreement.

Better and easier today

Twenty-five years ago, intensive Bible study required many physical books and tedious searching to find exact information. Today, an astounding number of relevant books and articles on every subject are available to everyone on the Internet, indexed, and ready for instant access.

Before the Internet, most people were unable to study the Bible in-depth and had to rely heavily on others to tell them what particular passages say and mean.

Back then, most Bible studies were fill-in-the-blanks type by authors within various theological belief systems who would focus on specific passages or topics to steer readers to pre-determined conclusions, with the primary purpose of affirming what the group already believes.

Now the Internet can put an entire free Bible library into pocket and purse, laptop and desktop, with dozens of side-by-side English translations and cross-references plus interlinear translations from Hebrew-to-English and Greek-to-English.

Today, with assistance from the Internet, people easily and quickly can read with their own eyes and think with their own minds. This builds deep understanding and solid faith.

Authority on this site

In the past, Bible studies were built and promoted primarily upon the credentials and reputation of the author of the study, and the study would frequently quote celebrity theologians, pastors, and writers for confirmation.

This site – Thinkers Bible Studies – is a new kind of Bible study for the modern age. This site makes no mention of contemporary names or acclaimed writings. The only authority on this site is the Bible, and only the Bible is quoted.

The site is independent and non-denominational.

This site aims to lay out all relevant Bible verses on each topic to make each study complete in scope and easy to understand.

To the extent that opinions are wanted from other sources, the Internet has plenty to offer.

Ultimately, each person should develop an informed personal belief about each major issue of Christian faith, based on actual study of scripture, not constrained by tradition, and guided by the Holy Spirit. That kind of study will provide the answers and confidence needed for conversations with doubters and unbelievers.

This is the best information a believer can get. Where can I donate. Big Bang is consistent to the Bible, great news. Let’s ge smart about religion. Saying the Bible is wrong has helped millions become non believers. This news can reinforce the beliefs in those who strive to believe but need a more firm and also scientific reasoning for the existence of a God. Great web site!

Nice to read a legitimate attempt to harmonize the traditions of the Bible with scientific discoveries.

I want to learn it all.

Not bad, I'll have to check the Hebrew to double-triple check, for this kind of study the KJ is almost useless.

Your Thinkers site is the best Bible site I've come across.

So far you make a lot of sense, I do believe in God.

Would like to keep you on my site for further study. You made me think.

praying Gods direction, provision, and anointing on this site and everyone, like me, blessed enough to have been led to it .

Fascinating to think about. Here is something also to absorb. Let Us make man in Our image. Who is Us? Why not let Me make man in my image. Sounds plural to me. Thank you for the compelling argument Adam is not the first man:)

About time!

This is a great Bible study, it explains everything perfectly so there is no confusion anywhere, it just helps understanding the Bible and God's word so well.

One of the best study sites I have found!

FInally someone uses their brain instead of emotions to explain what I have thought and tried to say for sooo long. Thank you!

This is utter nonsense in my opinion

Interesting to read. Will research further.

Of course. If Adam and Eve were the only humans and had children, who did the children copulate with? If it was each other, then everyone would have mental defects. The Adam & Eve story is just the beginning of the Old Testament.

Your site is great for discussions and other questions about the bible. I hope that it continues.

O my how i wish i could find a friend would be willing to discuss the bible openly with me.

Excellent reading

I applaud you on your studies and have to say that I do not disagree with what I have read. You seemed to have covered this subject very thoroughly.

Came across this site and it's fantastic and so relevant.

Thank you for this! I have had many conversations about science and Christianity. I am not very smart but now I am a little smarter.

This is great stuff!!

Very good explanation

Amen Amen Amen!!!

What you have said makes so much sense to me. I would love to read more of what you think.

Bullshit. Just utter bullshit.

I hope this excellent presentation penetrates the evangelical church where sadly a majority of Christians believe that the Big Bang is an atheistic concept rather the Fingerprint of God that it is!

Thank you I knew about these things but I did not understand

Yes, I agree there is a lot of evidence to substantiate what you say. I have often thought about this myself. Thank you for all the research you have done.

I admit that I have some struggles with your interweaving of science and the Bible, but that will not stop me from reading and considering the material.

No scripture to back up your words.

When are more topics coming?

Adam was perfect because it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that he had body aches and gray .

Interesting and thought provoking.

Just came across your website, want to commend you on believing the Bible can and should be read as the Truth. I have always believed that if I cannot make sense out of the scriptures, it is my deficiently not the Bibles. God Bless.

The big bang is a theory. God is a fact.

Yes

I really enjoyed this article. I found it very insightful as well as challenging.

Only when ignorance, in the name of science, tries to be wiser than what scripture say, is when Gods Word is twisted, unto their own destruction

All bad things on the face of the earth are connected to sin , by one mans sin we were all condemned.

I love this web site. I have always wanted to know more about what the Bible means. Please, please keep expanding this site.

Have always believed in this way ,read and ask for understanding and it will be given to you.

Yes to have a intelligence conversation is of most importance.

This is wonderful. Would like to read more.

There are too many pastors and theologians who take the simplicity of God's Word and try to make it profound when they should be taking the profoundness of God's Word and making it simple.

Thanks for the analysis

I love the premise of this site and its focus on engaging the modern doubter or unbeliever, and can't wait to see the new material that is planned.

All present dating methods are based on assumptions that cannot be proven. The methods do not meet scientific requirements of being observable, repeatable, and testable. They can reliable determine chemical compositions, but they CANNOT reliably give age..

When are you going to have more?

I appreciate your efforts at presenting the Bible as an accurate portrayal of what science has found to be true.

Great Information. I've been teaching these studies for some time to hopefully help Christians have a true biblical world view and not just a churchy world view. Glad yall out there.

This site is a literal God send! I've been struggling with reconciliation of what scripture says and what I've been taught through various denominations and their individual traditions. I'm so grateful, honestly, to have permission to think critically and to allow the Holy Spirit to teach me directly.

Great read very needed in this current time thank you

Just another Satanic attempt to change God's WORD. More likely made up of Liberal Kids that don't know any better.

Some scientists are open to intelligent design, the problem is some scientists think they are trying to bring church into the classroom.If some scientists find out that some believe in intelligent design they will lose funding.

Scientists lie to us. They lie about the age of the earth.

Unbelievable. Was man there at the beginning to make this determination. No. The human race is so arrogant and ignorant.

I’m learning so much. Thank you.

Not sure what to think of this bible study. If nothing else it compels you to really dig deep and think,read and pray for understanding which I think is a good thing.

God created everything that was created in six literal days.

I absolutly loved this! My daughter is a high school science teacher, and we are both christians. We had our own ideas of what scriptures say, and what actual physical science says. This brought ALOT to light! Thank you.

Great work! Keep up the war against the ignorant churchians, and supporting Christian enlightenment!

This is great. God has shown this to me some time ago, but you are the first that has ever confirmed it. God is good.

I discovered this site while I was at work. I will take time out and read through it. I think it is very interesting and it's good to know so I hope and pray that I can and will be able to venture a little bit more. Thank you and continue to have a blessed and prosperous day.

I am looking forward to reading through the rest of the Thinkers website. Thanks for investing in this work. It’s so important! Especially in these times.

Wonderful subject thank you I want more Bible studies

Thank you so much for confirming what I had always thought!!! Our Father makes wonderous wonders!!!

Great information, it is worth further studies. Kept up the good work, all of us need to read and study the bible more including me. We need to remember Christ is the Only Way to eternal life.

These explanations make real sense.

I am excited to have found this site when I was seeking the truth about Bible timelines. I have been forced to justify my beliefs by a pastor who has a very fundamental belief in God's seven days of creation.

This is a very interesting read and I'm going to be reading it again.

Adam was the first person on this earth bottom line

Found this to be very helpful. Answered my questions.

I agree there had to have been other people before Adam. The sons had children, with whom? Certainly not with their own mother or the gene pool would have died out.

I am a person that right now I don't practice any religion whatsoever. Very interesting, thank you

Thank you for your studies. I find them fascinating. And I will read more of your articles.

I am in to deep thinking concerning the Bible, while holding on to Biblical fact. Being open to possibilities where things are vague is food for the soul, yet being careful of being deceived into false teaching.

Death and suffering had not taken place until the original sin, so no one was before Adam.

It's my first visit. Thanks for sharing.

Please pray for me as I ponder the input you've provided online.

I have struggled with references to people before Adam, and coordinating it with science. This makes sense to me. Thank you for helping me with my dilemma.

Right!

Amazing! I have been studying this subject and drafting a book for about 5 years. I discovered your web site today. In those 5 years, I have come to many of the same concepts as you. Good job folks.

Fully embrace this information. By the Spirit I have been convinced before reading this. Any serious thinker who is honest and observant will become agnostic in trying to remain with the ultra conservative ideas of literal six day creation. What a beautiful creation was being made by a glorious intelligent designer!

The information that I read was very informative.

False teaching. Repent

Very interesting. Verification of my own thoughts.

My views on original sin have changed. Romans 5:12 says "all men die because all have sinned". What it doesn't say is "all men die because Adam sinned".

This is awesome, very detailed information and totally makes sense, thanks for sharing!

This is great, I am going to read more of your topics!

Don't know, don't need to know. It'll all be revealed by & by.

Since your website is new and still in the making, it leaves me excited yet hungry for more understanding. Thank you so much for putting your website together to help those of us asking questions about traditional lines of thinking. I look forward to reading more!

Very good and educational, explaining how it all connects and coincides with the Bible’s account.

Enjoyed the read. I am a believer.

An extremely good read.Would like very much to hear more.

This is heresy. I hope you repent and trust the Scriptures.

You are absolutely wrong

I have believed for many years what you have written here, but who among my friends and fellow-Christians will believe me? I stand alone. It took almost two hundred years before the church—or church members—believed that the earth was not the center of the universe. Will it take that long before Christians will believe that Adam and Eve were not the first humans created?

Very interesting please keep me posted
