You need to keep the red brick bible as your preaching bible. It will become your sort of trade mark. Not that you need a trade mark, because Jesus is our trade mark.
Nice clean system. I am just going through the Bible for the first time and have only been using pencil and colored pencils. Orange for bad/evil, blue for words from God/Jesus, green for good stuff, and red for names and places. I also write notes on pieces of colored paper and washi tape it in. I also tape a tracker in the front as well as made some pockets with washi tape to hold general notes and verses I want to memorize.
I use the Twistables for highlighting because they don’t bleed through. For adding notes, I write it out on a piece of paper. I glue the left hand edge with a glue stick, then I place it between the pages all the way down in the crack. I like the transparent sticky notes idea though. Color code is different for each person I guess. Mine is yellow for general info, I highlight dates and people’s names. Then I draw a box around it. Red is a little dark, so I use pink. Pink is for bad/good examples that people do/commands and warnings. Purple is for God and Christ, his attributes, deity and humanity. I use purple and draw a purple star next to prophecies about Christ. Blue is for baptism. Turquoise is for passages that comfort me. Orange is for the word of God. Green is for doctrine, Gospel, or money. A lot of times I know about where something is but don’t remember the verse. Color coding is a way to find something quickly. Oh yeah. Christ’s deity is in Hebrews. Right, it’s Hebrews 1 because it’s in purple. Oh yah, there’s a prophecy in the New Testament that Christ fulfilled. It has a purple star.
Today I ordered a new wide margin bible for my daughter. She looks forward to hold it in her hand next week. She usually reads thru the bible doing much notes. When she has read thru she gets a new one to start again. This is her way to do it. Greetings from Germany
Good review and thoughts, brother. I've also struggled to find the best size/layout for an outreach/carry-with-me Bible. I've ended up going with the CSB Single Column Compact Bible, which has an 8-point font and all black text. I would have gone with the ESV Large Print Compact Bible, which I think is the perfect size and layout, but the big problem is that the page/text ghosting is the worst I've seen in any Bible anywhere, especially in the poetic sections, so I really don't think it's very usable.
Of course, most Christians nowadays worry more about what their Bible 'looks' like on the outside then what they know about the inside. I bought a new $5.00 NKJV paper back Bible several years ago after coming back to Church. It started falling apart with all the notes I was making, so I wrapped it up with duct tape and its holding up just fine. While my $5.00 Bible was falling apart my life was getting built back up. As long as someone is reading a decent Bible, they'll grow.
Romans 10 is a prophesy, from Isaiah, 52, 7 to 10, fulfilled, on the day of Penticost told in Acts 2, 5 - 13. THEN they heard the Gospel Jesus taught his disciples to preach, when these Jews, from every country / nation, heard the answer to their question, We have killed Messiah, WHAT MUST WE DO?? Peter answered and said unto them, Repent, and be baptised un the Name of Jesus Christ FOR THE REMISSION OF YOUR SINS, AND YOU SHALL REVEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST.. and this promise will be to........ .3 thousand obeyed THE GOSPEL...THIS WAS THE BIRTHDAY OF THE CHURCH. Every epistle says the same Gospel.. There no OTHER GOSPEL...not just believe, but OBEY THE GOSPEL..JESUS IS THE WAY, TRUTH, AND LIFE. see Acts 4. 12. No OTHER NAME, UNDER HEAVEN, GIVEN AMOUNG MEN, WHEREBY YE MUST BE SAVED. JESUS CHRIST..
Nice Bible, I have never used a VBV modern translation but have always liked the KJV VBV, especially for preaching although for many years I used a paragraph NIV (1984) for preaching.
I hear the Ruckman KJV is acurate. I love the KJV. The NKJV is a watered down piece of junk. I threw mine in the dumpster. Not a real bible. Too many changes from the KJV that change the word of God. Stands for Not KJV. Comapre them and you will see the false changes. The words don't mean the same.
It’s on sale at Lifeway- what I like about this bible is the font size, the incredible amount of references and character articles. I got mine in leather- 18$ plus shipping. The leather smells like a baseball glove!
That Bible is as big as a boat anchor. I think it would be good as a reference book for a pastor’s study, but not an everyday read. I’ve had two study bibles lately, the CSB Study Bible and the KJV Easy Read. They are nice study Bibles, but they’re heavy and hard to get in a comfortable position to read. Trying to use it in church and cart it back and forth is a nightmare. I took one out tonight that is a personal size Bible. I find that I mainly use the cross references only any way. I suggest a Holman Bible. They do have some nice ones, end of verse cross references, and a more manageable personal size.
@@cmccafferty8280 I totally agree this Bible is reference only for me, that’s all my study bibles I find the same issue, to big and unwieldy to use as a daily reader.
Hmmm, I wonder what the native speakers of Hebrew who were reading scripture 1000 years before the KJV translation was made call their Bible. Btw KJV is a translation of the tyndale bible😉 But keep reading ur Bible in 1600’s British slang if you think that makes it magical or something 😂 The other 2 billion Christian’s around the world who use different translation will be laughing at you while you struggle to understand anything you read
Martin Luther said that even our daily lives, such as baker, farmer, etc was a service to God. We should be honest with others and do kind things without repayment. 2 Cor 3:2 says we are “living epistles known and read by the world.”
I’m carrying a KJV Pitt Minion with black goatskin and am loving it. I made some modifications to make it just right for me such as a button clip to keep it shut, replaced the ribbons, and added a spot to store 2 micron pens. Don’t be afraid to modify your Bible.
Cautionary note: the notes from the fathers in this bible have been edited from a 28 volumes series, Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, which has been edited from a more complete set of the fathers. The selections from the larger set was based upon an editorial board can raise questions as to why they omitted other important Fathers comments. I guess that is the problem with all editorial boards. Use this bible as an introduction to the Fathers of the Church then get copies of the works of the Fathers you enjoy. Reading the Fathers will change the misconceptions we have on what the early church thought, believed, and considered important, whether you are Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox. I hope you enjoy a new world of understanding your faith.
The reason I buy premium bibles is because they last for generations. I have bought Humble Lamb bibles for my daughters their husbands and my 5 grandchildren. This way each on can pass it down to my future great grandchildren.
TJ I think your content is great, but I’ll be honest the channel name is not memorable. So every time I see your channel, it doesn’t ring a bell, and I often skip, but then when I watch your video, I’m like, “oh yeah! I like that guy!”
