Carl, if you were to lead a Bible study, readers should know your theological views up front. Do you associate your theology, your understanding of scripture, with that of any known denomination so we know your perspective? How about a Confession of Faith such as the Westminster Confession, or maybe the Lutheran's Book of Concord? Can you give the Confession or Catechism you embrace? If you come back with something like "No Creed but the Bible", no one knows what garbage you may be spouting; and that may be nothing but the Creed of Carl Emerson.
First off, I am responding to request not pushing anything.
My background - no formal denominational training. Attended the Bible Collage of NZ (Non- Denominational) University Major in Phenomenology of Religion.
Grounded in an Anglican Church but early years in Baptist and Charismatic churches. Comfortable with Nicene Creed.
My style is devotional learning, relating to the Scripture as a treasure rather than a text book.
My son is doing a degree in theology at the same Bible College and keeps me away from Hetrodoxy
I have some profile on Christian Forums but largely unknown here.
I hold that personal theology should be every growing in an open heart but needs fundamental foundations to stand.
I would present a broad overview first then tackle the Gospels and Acts, and the Epistles.
There would need to be a reasonable demand as I have a busy life.

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
If there is enough interest I would do a 45 minute session on video conference with home work in between.
Those interested PM me and we can set up a group chat.
I will not have all the answers but I may be able to help with questions that arise.

Yes, maybe a presentation on Youtube and we can dialogue on a group PM here on the forum.
Does anyone know how many members can be on a PM together?
Gold stars will have to wait until after resurrection sorry.
Any reason why you would want it in a pm , why not on a thread ?
Those committed to learn would be able to dialogue together without interference from protagonists.
Open forums are like a jungle of ideas and agenda's - but hey, what do you folks think about that ???

I can understand your desire for someone to study the Bible with you. We are supposed to be students and later teachers but what were we taught that we then want to continue transmitting to others?
The way you propose it, it seems that you want to be the teacher of those who accept. It seems a little dangerous to the spirituality of believers to accept a teacher they know nothing about, even if he says he has references to theological or religious institutions of some kind, or even if it is an independent "theology."
Since there is so much AI on the internet right now and so many bots acting like people, why not show off your Bible knowledge on the forum, giving others the opportunity to exchange Bible knowledge with you?

I would expect that participants would input good inspiration so the collective outcome would be fruitful and way beyond my offering.
Lets hear some more voices on this...
You can freely open as many threads as you like in this forum, so you'll be able to dialogue with as many people as wish to participate in your topics.
Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity that this forum offers you?
There are many other platforms where you can propose to people and set up an audience for your conferences or speeches.

A teacher in the Spirit of the New Testament will 'draw out' not shove in... check out the Greek for 'educate'
This is being proposed not because it is my idea but because I was requested to do it.
If you want to sample my input over the last 7 years see Christian Forums here Carl Emerson
You will find almost 15,000 posts.
Through this forum and other sites on the internet, I have come to know that there are many ex-Christians who are dedicated to destroying the faith of believers through false "updated" knowledge on biblical topics.
They are making believers believe that they do not have to believe in biblical veracity, but that it is just a picture book with subliminal teachings, in the style of fables with morals.
So they are made to believe that Adam and Eve were not real people, that the people of Israel were never in Egypt, that the Israelite nation did not come from a man named Abraham who was called by Jehovah to leave his hometown, that Moses did not write the Pentateuch neither brought the Israelites out of Egypt nor did they wander for 40 years in the desert, that angels are not spirits, that Isaiah and Daniel did not completely write their books...and dozens of other lies spread by false Christians who have left deceived by unbelievers and now those believers who have lost their faith in the Bible want to transmit these falsehoods to others so that they follow in their footsteps.
So you can already see how dangerous it is to believe anyone who claims to be a teacher of faith.
