I don’t do Systematic Bible Studying. Not that I can’t but when I sit down, pray about what I want to do and then study a topic, deducing the conclusion based on the overall whole of those verses and commentators?it leaves me nervous. I find that it leads to way too much proof-texting. Instead, I make up my own heretical study method.
Okay, maybe not heretical just not topical (which might sound like heresy, I know). Like studying everything about angels or demons or the nature of God or His attributes. I’ve done that and will do more of that, in fact this site is divided like that?but that’s not how I personally study anymore. So, here’s how a heretic studies. Sometimes.
