Bible Study 101

 

“Is there a difference between God, Lord God and Lord?”

 

In class three we begin an overview of the contents of the books. 

 

Genesis: the story of creation, the fall, the flood, the tower of Babel, the call of Abraham, Sodom and Gomorrah, Jacob’s ladder, the 12 patriarchs and Joseph sold into Egypt. 

 

Exodus: Moses, the plaques, escape from Egypt, the ten commandments, the golden calf.

 

Our main discussion focused on the three levels of the Bible, the difference between God, Lord God and Lord, and the difference between apodictic and causative law.

 Bible Study 101

 

“Are there two different stories of Creation in Genesis 1 and 2?”

 

In class two we did a brief overview of the entire Bible through all of the historic eras covered in the related books.

 

Questions from a new member pertaining to the creation story, which was not scheduled until future meetings when will begin study into the Bible chapter and verse, prematurely opened a discussion of the two seemingly conflicting stories of creation in Genesis 1 and 2, the symbolic and metaphysical levels of the Bible and the need to check definitions of the words used in translation as documented in Let There Be Light.

Bible Study 101

 

“Is the Bible historical, symbolic or metaphysical?”

 

Initial approach to this study commenced with understanding the Bible as a Book in its overall totality as history, philosophy, literature, religion, a teaching tool, a model, a pattern of man in the earth from the historic, symbolic and metaphysical points of view. 

 

In the introductory class it also became evident that this study, too, would include Transpersonal Arts.  Two important verses mentioned in our readings of The Edgar Cayce Bible Companion: Paul’s discourse on Love and Psalm 24:  appear not only in spiritual services of TOR/SOL but prominently in the musicals: The Perils of Paul and Where is Soul Mate?   Many of the other passages in the Bible that have been set to music and appear in numerous librettos and Gentle Spirit Song Book, The bright and Morning Star and Song of Songs, books of the lyrical poems like Soul Quest the Legacy used at the Cayce Forum, will be incorporated in this TOR/SOL spiritual ministry outreach, Let There Be Light: Bible Study.

History of The Original Bible Study Group

 

The Science of Light Bible Q&A proposed in August 2010, took form as an ARE Bible Study Group in the same way that the Science of Light Cayce Forum became the ARE New Cayce Forum Study Group because of a triple demand by those who could not attend the Saturday programs. 

 

The Science of Light Cayce Forum became an ARE study group because of a triple demand by those who could not attend the Saturday Revelation Study Group.  At the New Cayce Forum, it became evident that study of the Cayce material and knowledge of the Bible go hand in hand.  This stimulated the group’s interest in manifestation of Let There Be Light, the New Bible Study Group, which had also been foreshadowed and requested. 

 

While The Revelation Study group focuses on meaning of its symbols as related to the body, mind and spirit, the message in the Cayce files is that the entire Bible carries that same message and should be studied by all. Though Science of Light has continually presented lectures and programs on the Bible at the ARE since the 1990’s, because many of those interested could not attend on Saturdays, Science of Light announced a Q&A on the Bible in August, 2010.

 

Request for the Revelation study group during the week coupled with recent requests by those in the Forum for an understanding of the Bible led to the formation of the Bible Study Group.
