Hillel:Study of the Torah is study of
Divine thought.
"... a certain pagan came before Shammai and said to him, 'convert me - but on condition that you teach me the entire Torah while I stand on one foot'! But Shammai drove him away with the builder's cubit that was in his hand. Then he came before Hillel who said, 'What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. This is the entire Torah, the rest is commentary thereon'. Go study!" Shabbot 31 A
"For Ezra had set his heart to study of the law of the Lord and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel." Ezra 7:10
"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the Word of truth."
2 Timothy 2:15
Purpose: The purpose of Go Study Group is to equip Christians to study, in depth, Divine thought with accurate application.
Goal: God recorded His thought through the process of written language.
The goal of Go Study Group is to provide a systematic approach to the
interpretation and application of this process.
Method: The method used to understand His thought, through written
language, is inductive study. Inductive study is a methodical process
which examines the particulates of a written text. While not perfect,
this method is valid and reliable for the study of written language.
Inductive Scriptural Study (ISS) is a scientifically acceptable method
of Scriptural study.
Forum: The purpose of gostudygroup will
be accomplished through study with individual, small groups of two or
three, and this web page which includes a blog.
The Blog: blog.gostudygroup.com, will
solicit comments concerning the research paper posted on Scriptural
Research. From time to time various Scriptural and theological questions
will be posted which will also solicit comments.
