Introduction to IBS

Isaiah 28:10–13

Before I relate that IBS is not Irritable Bob Syndrome, lets read our text that we covered last Sunday

Isaiah 28:10–13  “ For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.” 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people, 12 To whom He said, “This is the rest with which You may cause the weary to rest,” And, “This is the refreshing”; Yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the Lord was to them, “Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little,” That they might go and fall backward, and be broken And snared and caught.”

We talked about the context of this pericope. Do you know what this was a criticism of how Israel learned the scriptures and turns out, its amazing! lol. So lets begin to learn about this together.

Wondering what Pericope means? LOL, we will examine some theological texts like this but not a lot. Simply, a pericope is a coherent excerpt or passage from a larger text, (for us, usually from the bible). It forms an independent unit of thought—such as a single story, parable, or set of sayings—that can stand on its own and is often read aloud during public worship

Introduction and examining the manual

Manual is a guide, we won’t do every assignment, some will be left to you.

We will cover individual items then visit in detail on case by case.

The first/last day (4th lesson) is when we will examine sites and apps (like Blb.org and Logos, etc.)

Assignment #1. Historical context, greek, none of it is needed for this assignment. Stick to references and text itself. If you finish and want to examine all that, feel free.
