The Word of God is our necessary daily food, Amen?

I am going to start a Bible reading "class" for beginners to the Bible. We will read through the Old Testament first, taking approximately two years to read one chapter daily. There will be a new post on ALP daily. I will post the link to the reading, and then the explanation, from the teaching tools, on what was read. It will be a single post instead of the 4 or 8 or 20 posts that appear in the Previous Studies links at the bottom of the current Bible reading posts. (The current Bible reading posts will continue, the Bible for Beginners post will be in addition.)

The explanation will highlight history, understanding the 'hard' places of Scripture, and the prophecy of the gospel of grace or the ministry of Messiah Yeshua. Then a third year to do a Psalms/ Proverbs and a New Testament chapter daily - we will see where we are when we get there.

I thought about doing an email list, but instead I will post the Bible for Beginners daily on ALP, and then the same in MeWe and on Gab and Torah Network. Please use in family devotions with children, or in children's church, or wherever the Father leads. I don't even care for credit (except do not print to sell, they are copyrighted.) The enemy tells so many lies about YHVH which shipwreck people's faith, and YHVH wants the truth out!

I have been reading the Bible daily for over 55 years, and sometimes things that are questions for beginners don't even register in my brain. So I am hoping that if anyone has questions about the daily reading, they will ask. HINT HINT! PLEASE ASK!

As to when we will start. The New Year is upon us very soon, and it will be an excellent time to start. SO, SOON!

Paul's discussion of meat sacrificed to idols in 1 Corinthians 10:23-33 may seem academic, but this is still a real issue for many people today.

Since eating the sacrificial animal is an inherent part of the sacrifice, don't eat it if the circumstances might lead someone to believe you are participating in a pagan religious ritual. If someone is going to be offended by your service to God, let it be by your actual service, not by your presentation of the Gospel, your offensive and confrontational behavior, or your careless actions when you think nobody is watching.

However, behavior that might appear sinful to someone without all of the facts is perfectly acceptable if that someone can't possibly be around to witness it. Any sin isn't in the behavior itself, but in the stumbling block that it might put in the path of another.

Paul wrote that meat sold in the market is ok to eat even if it was sacrificed to demons so long as you have no specific reason to believe it was. 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

What does this have to do with us today in America? Consider the principle… There's nothing sinful in getting paid by a thief for doing honest work or in eating a steak that was cut from a stolen cow if you have no way of knowing that you are benefiting from someone else's sin. However, once you know, then you have some decisions to make.

People typically don’t engage in normal conversation on the topic of ‘evil’, although maybe a glancing discussion when they see something in a news headline or a movie/TV show that portrays something as they perceive as evil. But, do you know how much ‘evil’ is written about in your Bible? Do you know what the true, scriptural definition of ‘evil’ is? How does this knowledge affect your walk of faith.
Rabbi Steve Berkson is one of the small few that would take on the challenge of teaching from scripture about the topic of ‘evil’. You will be amazed and often surprised as Rabbi Berkson dissects the verses from the Bible, one-by-one if necessary, to teach what has been revealed to him and how these revelations will definitely impact your life – both physically and spiritually.
Rabbi Berkson decides to start from the beginning, in the book of Genesis, as he has done in other teachings, to provide a comprehensive understanding of this topic.
