@@monykaram84 I am not sure -I love the hard copies - easy to read and also to highlite if I need to. It may be a lot cheaper to buy all the volumes as a digital copy however. I have bought three of these in the commentary series so far and enjoying them very much :)
@@TheRetroBookshelf thanks so much for subscribing! Yes it is beautiful - the burgundy sounds really lovely !!! I have also subscribed to your channel :)
Compare this version to the Word of the Living God for the past four hundred years to the English-speaking peoples of the world---the original manuscript in English, the Authorized King James 1611 Bible in Proverbs 18:1, and you will find that the NIV changes the Word of God into a lie, just like Satan did in the garden. Nothing new.
@@johncalvert7243 hi John - The KJV is word for word translation. The New Testament was translated using the Textus Receptus (Received Text) series of Greek texts. For the Old Testament, the Masoretic Hebrew text was used, and for the Apocrypha, the Greek Septuagent text was used primarily. The NIV and ESV is from the Critical text (the older manuscripts found) The NIV is more thought for thought and the ESV word for word. - The NIV and ESV etc has been translated from a team of over fifty biblical scholars and theologians. No translation is perfect - in fact Although the King James Version was intended to replace the Geneva Bible, the King James translators relied heavily upon this version. Bruce Metzger, in Theology Today 1960, observes the inevitable reliance the KJV had on the Geneva Bible. Some estimate that twenty percent of the former came directly from the latter. The only translations (if you can call them that) I have issue with is the paraphrase bibles - done by a team of one. It is good practice to have the KJV and the NKJV (which updated the Elizabethan language to make scripture more understandable for today’s reader. If the NKJV or NIV or ESV make scripture more understandable then I am all for more people coming into the kingdom of God. There are no scriptural lies in the NIV nor in the ESV or NASB etc. In all the manuscripts we have (well over 8,500 making up the Textus Receptus and the critical text there are minor discrepancies - only spelling or syntax or punctuation or scribal errors (such as a mistake and correction - but there is no difference at all right across all manuscripts with the biblical accounts and Christian doctrine. The Textus Receptus and the critical text manuscripts make up our various translations with minor differences in the text - Today, most critical editions of the Greek New Testament, such as UBS4 and NA27, consider the Alexandrian text-type (critical text) corrected by papyri, to be the Greek text that is closest to the original autographs. Here are the differences in John 3:16 You will find the verse says and means the same thing in the various translations - NIV 16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ESV 16“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. NASB 16"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life KJV 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. NKJV 16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. So people need to choose the Bible translation (NOT paraphrase) that helps them understand and embrace God’s word. Blessings - pastor Jeff
@@user-tu9mw7bt9g hi - I am not sure as I am in Australia but you can search for a Christian book store in the Phillipines and order from them in person or on-line - or go on line and order from retailers that stock this. Koorong is one outlet to order from. God bless - Jeff
Just subscribed.I just picked this Bible last weekend.I love the full color pages and all the relics that it shows in detail It's going to be great for study I also agree...the typeface is easy to read. I purchased a Black bonded leather version.The only thing missing is Smith Sewn binding. Great review
Hi Brett, thanks so much for watching ! Yes this Bible is great for study with a lot packed in - later you may like to purchase The NIV Exhaustive Bible Concordance - John R. Kohlenberger 111. Thanks again for watching Brett !!!!
Hi brother, I enjoyed your review. I have the “Life In The Spirit” bible? I would love it if you could review that one and compare/contrast to this one.
Yes - it is a great translation - word for word literal translation of the KJV - however I do not think any translation is entirely word for word or literal but this is very close. No single English translation will ever represent the original biblical languages perfectly. Why? In part because the Bible's ancient languages do not function like English. A word in Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic might not have an exact English word to match. The NIV is also a good translation and delivers the very best combination of accuracy and readability. As of March 2013, over 450 million printed copies of the translation had been distributed. The NIV is the best-selling translation in the United States and is the best seller in Australia as well. I like both but for memorising scripture the NKJV for me is best as I love the way the text reads.
Hi Elizabeth - it is a broad commentary - it is very good however if you want commentary’s in more depth get a commentary on the book of the Bible you are wanting to dig deeper into. For instance take a look at the video I did on ‘the Zondervan exegetical commentary in the New Testament’ :) - Jeff
Hi Carolyn / Yes - it depends which commentary is best to understand ! I am using the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary series on The Old Testament and the New - I am almost finished with the commentary on 1,2 and 3 John by Karen Jobes. There are sone very good ones out there and some to avoid :) Thanks for watching Carolyn / I appreciate it and every blessing !!
Your video just popped up on my RU-vid. I use the NLT version. It is not a Bible study. It is the Thrive Devotional Bible for Women. It is a great little Bible 😁😁 l will need to see if you have done any reviews on an NLT Bible 😀😀 Any reviews on commentaries?? I have also trying my hand at Bible journaling. I love that it gets me deeper into the word. Especially when l study verse by verse
Hi Carolyn, As far as Bible commentaries go I have only done a review on the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on The New Testament on 1,2 and 3 John. However I am about to purchase the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the gospel of Matthew and then continue - The NLT translation is an excellent translation and although I think the NKJV and the NIV are great - I really love the NLT as it tends to flow really well. I am going to do a review on an NLT study Bible soon :) Bible journaling is a wonderful way to dig deeper into the word and verse by verse is really a great way to very close study. I like to read the chapter -then go back and look more closely to the verses. For the whole chapter - What can I observe - what insights? How can I apply it to myself ? What lessons can I take from the event in the reading ? Another way to apply scripture to yourself is for instance in Luke 8:22-25 - The disciples woke Him saying “Master Master, we are going to drown!” Do you think disciples concern was valid? When trials have come, have you ever felt like God was asleep? In what way did your trouble cause you to ‘wake Jesus up’ and cry out for help? God bless you Carolyn !!!
I'm impressed! I so need this one. I'm hungry to do a full study and its all in one book! Sir, your narration is most appreciated. Thank you. I did enjoyed this!
Terrible bible version. NEVER use an NIV. They have changed and even omitted some scriptures. NIV has gone woke in my opinion. There are much better versions. Thank you.
Hi Mark -the authors of the NIV decided to remove certain verses from the main Biblical text because “the oldest and most reliable manuscripts” do not have them. But all the verses that have been taken out are found in the footnotes.
That is what is wrong with Christians today. They claim education but not Holy Spirit. Oh, I am a biblical scholar. So were the Pharisees but they did not KNOW God. The bible is not an educational book, it is spiritual book and can only be known by the Spirit of God, not the spirit of this world. I will say again, NIV is TERRIBLE!
I really like those full color pages. I have an NIV Study Bible that I picked up more than twenty years ago. I don't want to replace it but I'm really liking this new version.
I have an old NIV Study bible, it's the '84 edition so the OG text before it was revised in 2011. There was a newer version of this with a more readable font and layout that came out later with revised study notes but still the '84 text. They made a few changes with the 2011 that took some translation philosophy from the TNIV.
Look up Matthew 5-22 in the NIV etc and you will find out that it makes Jesus a sinner. It's say from day 1 when it was published, if you are angry with a brother you are in danger of the Judgement. Jesus was angry twice,in the temple with his brothers. This makes him a sinner because they leave out ", without a cause", plus Dr Martin woodstra who was head of the Old testament translation committee was a homosexual. Would God use such a man? No. Virginia mallincott who was a word stylist from day one was a lesbian, zondervan publishing is owned by Rupert Murdock along with harvest House and Nelson. Rupert Murdoch produces pornography among other things as well as Fox News.
Jesus got angry and upturned the tables in the temple where they were bartering - God also got angry and was slow to anger - Moses got angry when he came back down the mountain and discovered the Israelites worshipping a golden calf and smashed the stone tablets - however God/Jesus/Moses were not sinning - it was a righteous anger because of the sin that was occurring.
You sound pretty upset. I don't know who you are or what you're going through but I just prayed for you. Let me know if you have a specific prayer request.
Hi, new subscriber here. I'm enjoying your bible reviews, thanks so much. I have a question about this one in particular: has this bible been updated, or is it the same one that was released back in 1993? Personally, I love seeing the publishing information page which gives this kind of information and also gives us the ISBN in bible review videos. =) Thanks again!
Hi Kalena - Thanks so much for watching and I am glad you enjoy my Bible reviews. There is the latest edition published in Feb 2023 - the one you see in this review was published in 2006. There is no difference between the two except for the gender language - for instance the 2011 New International Version (NIV) replaces references of just men, to both men and women. In the 1984 NIV Mark 4:25 says, "Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him." The 2011 version replaces the "he" and "him" with "they" and "them." I will include the ISBN in future reviews - thanks for the tip :) - blessings Jeff
@@Biblereviewsandmore Thank you, but I was trapped in Calvinist concrete for 23 years. I do not identify with C, or A, or anything other than Jesus Christ. Jesus and the Word of God set me free. I will spend what time I have left on this earth warning everyone I can about the damnable doctrin of C. God bless you.
It has been translated word for word so as to put the text into more updated language - however for those who are KJV purists I can understand the reasoning to stay with KJV for the poetic way the Elizabethan language flows :) however no translation is really a word for word literal translation - the king James remember is also a translation - The King James Version, also the King James Bible and the Authorized Version, is an Early Modern English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, which was commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611, by sponsorship of King James VI and I.
@@sarahjesusisgod hi Sarah - the next video I will have up soon will explain about various translations of the Bible and that no translation - including the NKJV and even the KJV is really and truly word for word. The KJV and New King James Version are put in that category but really no translation is a true word for word literal translation. The closest you may get is the interlinear Bible. :)
