What we’re about
NOTICE
After 19 years, we have ended this Bible study. We are no longer meeting for Bible study on Sundays. Therefore, we will discontinue this Meetup page soon.
However, we are continuing to have our ONLINE Theology & Apologetics meetup discussion every Thursday night on Zoom. Here is the link to that meetup group:
ONLINE Theology & Apologetics Discussion (Bedford, TX) | Meetup
If you are interested in continuing to discuss theology and apologetics (not a Bible study), then please join the other meetup group to continue receiving reminders about the Thursday night meeting. This Meetup group will be disabled soon.
Thursday Night Discussion
On Thursday nights, we host a Theological and Apologetics discussion (not a Bible study) where we are joined by Christians of many denominations as well as unbelievers such as Atheists, Agnostics, Skeptics and members of other non-Christian religions. There is no formal program; we discuss whatever the group is interested in that night and everyone is free to come and go as they please.

ONLINE Theology & Apologetics Discussion | MeetupA Discussion Group (Not a Bible Study)
Although we do discuss the Bible, this group is not a Bible study; it is a discussion group.
We discuss different topics regarding religious faith, practice and experience including Christian theology, the Bible, Atheism, Islam, Mormonism, Charismatic theology, Calvinism and Reformed Theology, Dispensationalism, King James Onlyism, Mysticism, Baha'i, Gnosticism, Separation of Church and State, ethics, etc. Topics of discussion are usually decided by those in attendance so bring a list of your favorites.
Everyone is welcome to join the group. A variety of beliefs and perspectives are represented ranging from born-again Christians to Atheists and other non-believers. We have spirited discussions and debates but we do so in a manner that is friendly and respectful to all.
You are welcome to participate in the discussions or just listen. Be prepared to be challenged (so come with a thick skin). And feel free to challenge the beliefs, assumptions and thoughts of others in a respectful way.
A Note about Attendance
Many new people ask, "Will you and I be the only ones there? Nobody else has RSVP'd." Most of the attendees of this group have been coming for a long time and do not bother to RSVP. There are typically about 6 to 12 people who show up each week.A Note to Christians
This is your opportunity to meet actual unbelievers who are asking you to present the Gospel and your beliefs to them. This is a great forum to practice witnessing and putting forth a defense of your faith. You may find that defending your faith and presenting the Gospel to real live unbelievers is a bit different from reading books on witnessing or just talking about witnessing with other Christians at church. As the New Testament indicates, the Gospel is an offense to unbelievers so we should not be surprised when the unbeliever reacts out of that offense. Set your expectations accordingly. It may be difficult at first but this group will give you excellent preparation for sharing the Gospel and defending your faith. This group is not for the fainthearted (but neither is biblical Christianity).
Being prepared to defend our faith is the duty of the Christian according to the Apostle Peter:
1 Peter 3:14-17 - 14b Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.
