19. depends on the bible study
And, to an extent, where you live. When we lived up north, I never thought twice about someone attending a bible study. Here in TX, if I find someone goes to BS (hm, interesting acronyn!), I assume they're quite conservative.

I go to a Unitarian Universalist church, although I am a Christian. A few of us formed a liberal bible study group. Rather than just accepting Christ as God's only son, we question the bible, discuss how it came to be (none of us see it as the direct word of God; what's in there is there for political reasons). We acknowledge that Jesus existed, but that he may have just been a pawn used by Paul... just a man who was later raised to this Christ-like status.

Ask the guy his thoughts... that's the best way to figure him out!
