As a new believer I watch many videos on how to highlight the Bible. There are many ways, all good, but THIS one is the one that makes the most sense to me and I find it highly helpful. Thank you very much!
Thanks for this! Very timely! I'm just waiting on a new Bible to arrive and now I have a great plan to mark it. I usually tend to go a bit overboard with colour and it just ends up looking messy with no rhyme nor reason to it. This will get me off to a great start!
The Prisma color premier soft colored pencils are ThE BEST for marking in your Scriptures!!! I have an extensive color coding system using over 25 colors. I even have a spreadsheet for tracking the colors and by doing 4 different things with one color, I increase the number of color references I can have. Example - with one color, you can choose to either underline, circle, solid color or put a block around a word. That is 4 category options. My Scripture is so easy to find passages and the colors help to retain what the passage is about.
Wow! It’s Feb. 12, 2024. (2-12-24, 2 x 12 = 24)-3 years after the video was published. I am blown away by this simple color-coding system. Your video was short, sweet and to the point with helpful graphics. I’m grateful to God that I found this video! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Similar to what I do but I underline or box sections in colored pens. Red for bad example avoid, red for good example or something commanded. Orange for the Word. Green for salvation, justification through faith, predestination. Blue for baptism. Purple for the humanity/divinotybof God, or his attributes, omnipresent, doesn’t lie
This comes the closest of the system I use. I use the Green, Red and Blue the same. My yellow is a lighter don’t do/avoid, red being more serious. Then I have two colors extra: * purple is any/all memorization verses. * orange is for any grand theme/main point, lesson from God. Great video!
Thanks for sharing what you use! I hope you can share your method with lots of other people to help them understand God's Word better, too. Keep reading!
I had a rainbow bible but some of the colors looked the same. Sin was marked in gray, history was in silver. To me and my warm lighting it looked similar. Book wasn't red letter, instead what Christ said was underlined. I enjoyed the rainbow bible so much i gave one sister a copy for her birthday and the other borrowed my bible and i never got it back! 😂😅 I would use a different coloring system instead with my new Bible (not a rainbow version, just a regular plain one)
It sounds like you learned a lot with the color coded system you had in the rainbow Bible. Hope you continue reading and making observations in your new Bible! 👍🏻
I do something similar. Yellow is for Jesus and God's attributes, green is for interesting things, orange is for warfare, pink for promises, and blue for family.
Personally I have not. That could be because of the quality of the pages in the Bible I have or that I use the prismacolor pencils, so I won't say that it can't happen if someone has a different Bible or uses different pencils. You could also use an electronic Bible, and highlight with these colors...no smudges ever!
Once a large number of passages have been marked the white parts become more important. I prefer to mark the words Jesus in red. I will need to pick another color for stop.
Sounds like this wouldn't be the best method for you to use. Maybe you could modify it: use a notebook with the colors as headings at the top of the page. When you come across a verse that fits that color, you could write it down on that page. That way you don't mark in your Bible, but you can still use the colors to help you make important observations. I often use an electronic version that makes it easier to use the colors. Hope these alternate ideas help!
