LDS ONLY... Is it ok to hold bible study's at my home with other non mormons that are christian?

I had been going to bible study's but my friend wants me to do it at my house. I don't see anything wrong with it as we just read the bible but I don't know???? Could I get into trouble with the church? Thanks.


Ps. I know this is not a good place to ask but I have no lds friends or family to ask. All my friends are Christian. Thanks

It's just sad because The Book of Mormon more than likely won't be used. You'll have to hold your tongue on all the restored truths. If you can't share, it doesn't sound like fun.





Christians are confused without the Book of Mormon in their lives. Good luck
Reply:Generally speaking, no. You may want to discuss it with your bishop.





A few years ago there were some bible study groups that got into fringe topics and many eventually fell away from the church, persecuted the church, lost testimonies, were excommunicated, etc. Just make sure your studying stays gospel centered and of course avoid contention.
Reply:Basically what you are doing is called a small group or a cell group in christian terms, the early christians did this in their homes:


) Acts 2:46


And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from HOUSE to HOUSE, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,


) Acts 5:42


And daily in the temple, and in every HOUSE, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.


) Acts 20:20


And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from HOUSE to HOUSE.


Since you are LDS and your group is christian, I would say thatyour bible is differant then the christian KJV so I would recommend just staying with the relief-society lessons and just using the bible scriptures in the lesson in them and not any other scriptures from any other scripture or using a christian devotional book from the christian book store. IF the christian group approves of it, you could welcome a visit from the missionaries as long as you go to their church to. This is such a tricky subject you may have to give a little to be able to allow your portion of your religion to be taught, as the mormons say every member a missionary, if you feel overwhelmed you may want to invite another member from your church to help you out with this bible study.
Reply:Just be careful to avoid contention and bible-bashing.
Reply:Well, discussing a religiously important and even holy book with people of another religion can cause too much discussion inside the group, but correctly handled it can increase the respect between the beliefs of others. You may feel a bit uncomfortable about your faith being discussed about but if you will consider it alright then you can have the discussion in your house.
Reply:This would be the beginning of apostasy. If you don't accept the true interpretations of scripture as given in Sunday school and on BYU TV, you are on the high road to serious trouble...
Reply:mbestevez is on the right track. If they know you are LDS, and that you probably interpret much of the Bible differently, and are open to different interpretations, it could work.
