Growing in Bible Understanding

Well, I am still going to use this blog for the purpose of furthering your study of God's communication to us, the Bible.
The method I am talking about this time is devotions.
To do this properly you will need a good Bible, a pencil or pen and a note book. You may also need a commentary or a good handbook of the Bible.
 Chose a book of the Bible that you can spend time studying.
 The pen or pencil is for marking up the Bible. A well read Bible is a well marked up Bible.
You will be asking what is being said here? Who is speaking? You will be marking in your Bible the key word in each portion.
 I suggest you do a paragraph at a time this works well, but the idea is not speed. Or maybe a chapter at a time.
The notebook is to jot down what it is you are discovering. Also what you are noticing. Record the repetition of a certain word. You may find it repeats in another chapter. Note that. It is important .
Use the handbook for background and context.
Always search context. Don't take day dreaming trips. The Bible is not written in twenty-first century context.
 Use the commentary to understand if you are on the right track in the deduction you are making.
 Stay with it. Dig as in mining for precious ore.
 And may your understanding of God grow as you do so.

Gender Misunderstanding

Come on now. really? You don't know your gender?

There are really only two. Two? Yes, you heard right.
In the beginning God created you in your mothers womb. He made no mistake. Your gender is rather male or female. He didn't look down and say, "Opps, I think I made a mistake there. I meant to create a non-binary person.)
Who told you differently?
Who ever it was is wrong. Or they maybe need to go back to basic biology.
Somewhere along the line you were scammed. And you bought it. Or if you haven't your friend or person you know who is trying to tell you some time between the planting of the sperm in the egg something happened to the fetus and you were the result--a non-binary person.
I look at myself in the mirror each morning as I shave and thank God I am a person who in this respect is not confused as to gender.
The last time I looked God did not pop out a non-binary gene.
Someone, let me repeat, has fooled you.
There is no reason for you to run out and have a penis looped  off or a breast removed or added.
The problem is in the way you are thinking. And you are  thinking this way because you have come to believe something without the proper investigation.
 Don't accept everything at face value. Don't always trust what people say.
Wait until you are thinking correctly before you make a move.
