Peter - Did not know you were a man of the cloth! Good for you. I am Catholic and am one of the volunteers who lead a bible study for a small group of 8th grade boys, at the catholic school my kids attend. You may know that the Catholic Church as a 3 year cycle for Gospel Readings. We are in Luke's Gospel and I am having a lot of fun sharing with these guys about what Jesus is saying in his parables. Maybe we should start a Bible Study Thread. I enjoy bible study as much as toy soldiers, and we are always to share the "Good News of Christ." Truthfully, Toy Soldier Collecting is a material obsession that I should do without, but I find it so very enjoyable, its not hurting anyone, and it keeps me out of trouble.

Boyer, Toy Soldiers might be an obsession, but you are allowed to have some fun in your life. Some people spend their money on Drugs and Alcohol, your spending it on Toys, that make you happy. I myself read the Bible every night, I live my life to, Do onto others, as you would want them to do onto you. I love my Lord with all my heart mind and body, and being. I don't belong to any congregations, I am just a Christian, who would help anyone in need to the best of my ability. Enjoy this Hobby, it will keep you out of trouble, and do it guilt free. Mike

Hmmm - on-line Bible study....

Actually, my church's forum is just beginning one right now (we've never tried a forum based one before).

It's am interesting concept. I'm not sure that Treefrog is the best place for it (being that we're trying to be open to all collectors here), but if there's interest I could find a platform to do it on (i.e. I could make a special place on my church's forum for it).

I would be interested in a separate church forum or from your church. Leadmen

If anyone's interested in a forum based Bible study, PM me and we can perhaps set something up.

I just want to point out that St Cosmas and Damian are the patron Saints of surgery. They apparently transplanted a leg from a dead Moor to a wounded Frank in the 3rd Century and it survived ( both the leg and the patient, The Moor was unfortunately already dead). You must appreciate that both vascular surgery and immunosuppressive therapy were somewhat in their infancy in 3rd Century North Africa.
So the fact that my name is Damian in no way implies that I am the anti-Christ. I am not so sure of the significance of the funny scar on my forehead my piercing red eyes and why everyone I speak to ends up dying in a freaky accident. That I cannot explain.
Regards
Damian

Damian is a very Saintly Name - I believe the St. Cosmas and Damian Catholic Church in Rome is the Headquarters for the TOR Franciscans (Third Order Regular).
