This community gathers around one idea: Scripture is common ground. Whoever you are — lifelong believer, lapsed, curious, skeptical, somewhere in between — you're welcome. We read the Bible together in its original languages (Hebrew, Greek, English side by side), ask hard questions, and trust the text to hold up under honest examination. Lindy and I have been at this for 50+ years. We don't have a system to sell you. We have tools — and the conviction that if you read the actual words, in the actual languages, with other honest readers, something real happens. A few ways to start: 📖 Introduce yourself in the comments — name, where you're joining from, and one question you've always wanted to ask about the Bible 🔗 Free Bible Reader with Hebrew/Greek tools at biblicaltools.org 🎧 Sunday Scripture Study, live with Q&A — 2:30pm Pacific 💬 Friday Seminar — honest conversation about the hard parts of life A note on cost. This community is free. BMI is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit — no ads, no premium tier, no fees, ever. If our work helps you, you're welcome to support BMI — but it's never required. No creeds to sign. Just the text and each other. — Ernst Gunther
