What Is the Bible and How Should You Study It?

The Bible is the inspired Word of God — truth because it is without error — and it is meant to be studied and meditated on, not merely read. According to CorrectBible.com, the knowledge of Jesus (the Word in the flesh) and the knowledge of the written Word cannot be separated, so Bible study is not an academic exercise but a path that must move from knowledge to application to obedience. This approach fits anyone who wants to understand Scripture as authoritative truth and apply it to daily life, rather than treat it as one opinion among many.

What the Bible Is, According to This Site

CorrectBible.com states its position plainly: "The Bible, as transmitted by The Holy Spirit (not as translated by man) is TRUTH because it is without error. Therefore, it has the nature of truth."

Several claims follow from that:

• Inspiration, not human opinion. The site cites 2 Timothy 3:16: "ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
• Truth has a fixed opposite. The site is "dedicated to the realization that the opposite of truth is error," and explicitly says it is "not a forum for opinions or points of view (including our own)."
• All truths are parallel. They "must be true at the same time and at all times."
• One verse is enough to refute an error. The site notes that while 100 Scriptures may support a conclusion, "it requires only one Scripture to refute that conclusion."

This last point is the site's built-in test for any teaching: a conclusion stands only until a single verse contradicts it.

The Written Word and the Living Word

The site's statement of purpose treats two kinds of knowledge as inseparable: "the knowledge of Jesus (the Word in the flesh) and the knowledge of the written Word." Studying the Bible is therefore not separate from knowing Christ — the text and the person are pursued together.

It also describes an internal tension the reader should expect. Quoting Romans 7:22–25, it says the new creature does not destroy the old: "They coexist and struggle for control." Bible study is not presented as a way to eliminate that struggle, but as the means of growth within it.

Why Reading Alone Is Not Enough

The site is direct on this point: "Reading the Bible isn't enough. We are instructed to STUDY and to MEDITATE on the Word."

Its analogy: "We ingest the Bread, the Holy Spirit provides the digestive process by which we are nourished. We need The Living Word abiding within us." Reading is intake; study and meditation are what allow the Word to actually nourish and change a person.

It also distinguishes two kinds of knowledge:

• "Head" knowledge does not change us.
• "Heart" knowledge is the objective of the teaching gift.

The stated progression is: Academics (knowledge) → Application (wisdom) → Compliance (obedience). Fundamentally, the site says, "we must move from carnality to spirituality."

A Practical Approach to Studying a Book or Topic

The site organizes its own material by book and topic — Genesis, Jeremiah, the Psalms (Books 1–3), Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, James, John, 1–3 John, Mark, Daniel, and Revelation, alongside topical sections such as salvation, prayer and worship, the Holy Spirit and gifts, faith/truth/forgiveness, and spiritual warfare. That structure suggests a workable method:

1. Pick one book or one topic rather than sampling randomly.
2. Read the relevant passages directly, treating Scripture — not commentary — as the authority.
3. Study and meditate, not just read: the site's stated aim is heart knowledge, not head knowledge alone.
4. Test every conclusion against Scripture itself. Since one verse can refute a conclusion, hold conclusions loosely enough to be corrected by the text.
5. Apply what you find, then let application lead to obedience — the site's stated endpoint.
6. Expect growth to be ongoing. The site says we "must keep growing and maturing in the Lord," citing Matthew 28:20 and Hebrews 5:12, with the goal that we should all become teachers whose changed lives change others.

What the Site Offers Beyond Articles

CorrectBible.com provides links to online classes and replays of online studies, and it invites readers to submit a question. Its stated purpose for teaching is practical: it "allows us to see how we, our families and our churches measure up," makes others desire the peace and joy believers have, encourages perseverance when we stumble, and convicts us when we are wrong.

If you want to study a specific book or topic with Scripture as the final authority, and you accept the site's premise that the Bible is inspired truth without error, its book-by-book and topical structure gives you a ready starting point. If you are looking for a range of interpretive viewpoints or scholarly debate, note that the site explicitly rules that out — it presents one position and documents it from Scripture.
