Bible Studies 1 – Holy Mysteries

Welcome to social distancing Bible Studies. This is a new venture I am trying. Your participation is important, so feel free to ask questions about what the lessons are focusing on. I want to keep the topic as specific as possible, so important elements of Christianity can be explored, one or a few at a time. Whether one wants to believe this or not, Christianity (the religion most Christians confess belief in) is dwindling. The reason is simple: Christians mostly (the vast majority) do not know enough about the meaning of the Holy Bible to teach their children AND answer the normal questions their children will ask. Without an ability to answer those questions, which are the transformation points from belief to FAITH, or from belief to disbelief, the direction of the children predicts the direction of the religion. That direction is going down, and it has been heading that way for decades now. Certainly, questions or comments are welcome about how one feels about that assessment. However, that decline brings me to offer this as the topic of this Bible Studies discussion. Rather than coming from the pages of the books in the Holy Bible, this comes from the pages of the liturgy, such that the post communion prayer (Rite 1 Eucharist) begins by saying: Almighty and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee for that thou dost feed us, in these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favor and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs, through hope, of thy everlasting kingdom.
