Hello all,
I would like to do my best to start the equivalent of a Wednesday night/Sunday morning class at church. I am basing the format off of something a church I attended as a kid where the subject material was based solely off questions that were submitted by the attendees of the class. I want to do this one, to help me study the Bible more, to have a good discussion about issues, and to work on my teaching skills as I would like to start a class like this when I move back home.
A little about me. I was born and raised in the Lord's Church and still follow the teachings of solely the Bible. I believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God and everything we need to know for our salvation is in its pages.
So without further ado, let's jump right in. Please ask any questions you want. It can be anything scriptural related, it can be anything about the Lord's Church and why we believe what we believe, do what we do, etc. Any question is a fair question. I will choose 1-2 a week, depending on depth and complexity of the question and post a new thread to keep the discussion going. I encourage everyone to ask whatever is on their minds.
Thanks and looking forward to this!

Is a sin only breaking one of the ten commandments? Or are there other sins? If you decline to help someone in need, is that a sin? Is it a sin to break the old testament laws? If you mow your lawn on Sunday, is is sin? Are drinking and smoking sins? Is it a sin to speak harshly to someone? Is it a sin to speak harshly to someone on an Internet message board? Is it sin to do other than WWJD?
Lots of possibilities with that question. I'm not sure of the answers, or that there is a definitive answer.
