Inductive Bible Study

Logos Christian Bible College

In the beginning was the Word (Logos).

John 1:1

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in righteousness."

Romans 1:18.

Caveat: Logos Christian Bible College attempts to educate the whole student and will not censor any research materials. It is highly recommended that you pray before taking this course or reading any of the materials.

This course is for those seeking the truth about the message of the Gospel, the life of Christ, the history of the church, and the Truth that will set you free. We believe in full disclosure of the Bible and Christian history. As a student, you should read everything and believe nothing.

"Test all things; hold fast to what is good."

1 Thessalonians 5:21

Why take this course?

"I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

But you be watchful of all things, endure afflictions, do the work or an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."

1 Timothy 4: 1- 5.

We are instructed to be Defenders of the Truth!

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.

Therefore God gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of the their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature (creature comforts) rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen."

Romans 1:18-25.

The Truth has been suppressed in the body of Christ by the traditions of men and Denominationalism!

"Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious."

1 Peter 2; 1-3.

Expositional, Congregational, and Personal Daily Devotional Bible Study is the only true way to get at the pure milk of the Word!

We are dedicated to help you be armed against heresy, the traditions of men, deceit, suppression of the Word, and to fulfill your ministry.

Remember these three things:

1. If you don't know you won't grow!

2. What you read is what you get.

3. There will be no revival without rebible.

Note on the Apocrypha: The term Apocrypha is used to designate a collection of ancient Jewish writings which were written between 250 B.C.E. and the early Christian centuries. The Apocryphal books have come to be regarded as inspired Scriptures in the theology of the Roman Catholic Church. They were declared to be authoritative scripture at the Council of Trent 1546.

Both the William Tyndale Bible and the Authorized King James Bible included the Apocrypha in their original publications.

In addition to the Apocrypha, the Pseudepigrapha is ascribed to Jewish and Christian.

Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, sectarian literature (Josephus and the Archko Text) scrolls from the Cumran Caves (Dead Seas Scrolls) and a wide variety of other ancient writings provide helpful understanding of the Bible.
