Know the Bible? (Part 2)
Luke, Matthew, Mark, John, Paul, Peter, Apollos, Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Polycarp, Origen, a couple of Clements, Tertullian, Chrysostom, Athanasius, Augustine, Gregory, Jerome, Cyril, Basil, Ambrose, Anselm, Bernard, Wycliffe, Thomas a Kempis, Erasmus, Tyndale, Luther, and Calvin—just a few of the people who couldn’t study the Scriptures very well because they didn’t have the benefit of a shared, numbered chapter and verse system to navigate by.
And then there’s this fellow:
“He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me.”
Perhaps there’s more to Bible study than following a string of numbered references. Perhaps there’s another way to know the Bible.

I think I know the Bible. Does anyone know about greek civilization and how it relates to the bible?
There used to be a group of Greeks called the Basilideans. If I understand it right, they refered to Christ as Abaxas and seemed to think he was magic?
Seems like a crime to me. War started over this type of thinking.
I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at here. Could you elaborate?
