Yeah it's really awsome to really delve into the Word and see what it has to say in a deep way. The course I am taking now on Corinthians is a really digging deep. In many ways it is an analyisis of of each word in a passage, as each word has something important in it in the way it was used. The same word inscripture can have multiple meanings, so it is really cool seeing the Original Greek. The professor said something that I thought was interesting the other night in reference to different ways of reading the Bible. When we read the Bible devotionally it isfor the most part a quick reading which is fine, he spoke of this as like going across a small lake in a jet ski. On the other hand, in depth study is like going in a glass bottom paddle boat. Imagine how different it is and the more stuff you see.
