Teaching Through The Bible More Effectively Using A Bible History Timeline

In our Bible study some years ago, a friend who had been a Christian and worked in the local Church for many years, said,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not referring to the pre-Moses law) I wonder just how many Christians will actually notice the inaccuracy in this claim. Moses existed about five hundred years after Abraham and so it is an impossibility. I have since then put together a Biblical history timeline and explained more visually the time period of people and events.

Years ago, I was teaching on the death, burial, life and resurrection of Christ Jesus, and a retired minister and strong preacher of Scripture, who had been a minister for forty years, marched up and reproved me smartly over some interesting points I made and he noted 1Ti 1:4'Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.' I humbly asked him if I had been saying anything of a heretical nature at all, to which he said"No". I continued on to spell out that in the case of that particular Scripture, it was not speaking to exploring Scripture but to the false teachings and philosophy of the Gnostics, but he wouldn't accept it. So, how can a forty year minister & laborer in the Gospel, not know and understand about something that probably half the books of the New Testament relate to?

How could he understand and preach the Bible clearly without being aware of something that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to understand these things and be in a position to interpret their Bible properly, if they are not told?

Let's us as teachers and preachers sew together the fragments of the Bible and His plan into a seamless tapestry that our people are able to draw on for the remainder of their lives, to help them to understand God, His Eternal Plan, the role of the Church and ways to better interpret the Bible to live by.

It's not difficult to do, and it's not boring if we are ready to put in a bit of study with prayer and fervor, and just possibly you can employ a Bible Timeline too.
