Bible study is a difficult topic. It needs a leader, and a leader must have vast biblical knowledge and that knowledge must not be tainted with following a man's interpretation like even Luther or the Pope.
bible study can also be separated by how much the students know about scripture.
I found a man to lead who is free on the net and assures us that he only uses his scripture knowledge, without being led by any church dogma. I feel accepting his leadership to bible study still needs to be done with care, and should have several students so scripture comes first, not the leader. I have searched for years for others to join me in this study under this leadership so several minds can check on him. He is very deep and involved, there are colleges who use his leadership for a class and I have been turned down by every single person in either my church or my town.

I disagree. Bible study should NOT have one "leader" who teaches his/her theology! It is simple reading passages of scripture AS THEY'RE WRITTEN IN CONTEXT then asking each others input and/or questions. The Bible is mostly self explanitory if you STUDY it. If u want a teaching, listen to a sermon.

1¶Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
3Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Go ...Verse one we see Pauls calling . To be an Apostle to the Gentiles ....
Paul is writing to the Believers in Jesus Christ that live in Rome. He begins his letter with a greeting that tells the audience who it is from. He gives his name "Paul," says he is a servant of Jesus Christ so, Jesus Christ is his Lord and Master.
Next, Paul tells his purpose and calling which is to be an Apostle and he has separated himself from the world and his sole purpose is the gospel (good news) of God which is Salvation in Jesus Christ alone - the Messiah - the Promised One.
This verse is in ( ) parenthesis because it was added to help with understanding but, was not part of the original letter to the Romans that Paul wrote.
This verse is commenting on how God's prophets (Isaiah, Ezekiel, etc.) foretold of a Savior - the Messiah - the Promised One - The Christ - The Anointed One.
In this verse Paul is explaining what he meant by "gospel of God" which is the preaching of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and He is the Christ and is Lord of the Kingdom of God that is coming.
Paul explains that Jesus Christ is Lord because He is from the lineage (seed) of King David according to His physical human body.
In this verse, Paul switches to explain that Jesus is not only from the seed of David but, also from the Incorruptible Seed of God which is why Paul calls Jesus Christ the Son of God filled with the power of God and walks in the spirit (inner) holiness which is evident because Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
Paul explains that it is Jesus Christ that has given grace and the mantle of apostleship to him for the purpose of Paul to walk in obedience to faith in Christ so that all nations may know and glorify Jesus Christ and receive the Gift of Salvation.
This is fun to examine verse by verse!

Reading the bible without any outside influence is EXACTLY what I am speaking of. But that requires knowing what the conditions and thoughts were of the men who God gave the job of putting down what is purely God so we know what the words he used to express those thoughts meant to him. We need to know who Paul was to understand Paul, that is why scripture gives us his background. We need to know what problems Paul was addressing in the churches he wrote to. And we need to get the thoughts of men OUT of interpretation and just listen to the Lord.
We can spot when the Pharisees added to scripture with their interpretations, we need that same ability in our churches today.
