The Biblestudy HowTo is a guide for studying the Bible.
3
It is the hope of the BibleTime team that this HowTo will provoke the
4
readers to study the scriptures to see what they say. This
5
particular study guide has been chosen as it takes care not to
6
advocate any particular denominational doctrine. We expect you to read
7
and study the scriptures to understand what they say. If you start
8
with the attitude that you want to have the Lord sow his word in your
9
heart He will not disappoint you."><meta name="keywords" content="Bible, Study, HowTo"><link rel="start" href="index.html" title="The Biblestudy HowTo"><link rel="next" href="h2-importance.html" title="Chapter 1.
