Protestant reviews another Catholic Bible! 

Appreciate these reviews of a complete bible. 😉. On a more serious note, this is by far the best done review I've seen of this study bible by anyone, Catholic or Protestant. Well done and thank you.

You did a fantastic job in reviewing the Didache Catholic Study Bible. Your reviews are far greater than what other reviewers I had listened to covering review of bibles. I grew up Catholic, but in my days Catholic study bibles were studied in Catholic high schools which I never attended, I went up to the 5th grade then to public school. I really enjoy your bible reviews, very honest and very informative. You present a balanced and honest review, thank you.

This is a great Bible, fantastic commentary that is extremely well written and great references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Thanks for the review!!!

Love the Hat and that a reviewer sent you a copy. That’s awesome. Much love to the dojo✔️🔔❤️

As a Catholic, it depends on the Catholic. I'm cool with Protestants that as long as they don't call me a "dirty Paegan" or "soulless Celt". It's cool you're showing the difference as it's without condemnation.

St paul wrote in one of his letters that TRADITION.was very important Whether this tradition is written or passed down orally tradition.was not to be ignored

This was super helpful! I have a copy and look forward to digging in.

Good review. I wonder, as a Catholic, do Protestants add the extra bits about Catholicism to signify to other Protestants that they're still Protestants or is it because you genuinely don't understand the Catholic ways of reading scripture or the history of it and how this way developed over the past 2000 years as a way to conserve this tradition? E.g., I respect the Protestant choice to go with the 8th Century Masoretic Jewish scriptures over the 3rd Century Christian canon for the Old Testament. I don't agree with the choice to go with it, but I understand it. But if I were reviewing a Bible that was missing the 2nd-Canon I likely wouldn't even bring it up. Bible readers likely know the fact of them not being there. However I'd be interested in verses I know Catholics and Protestants interpret differently like John 6 and Revelations 12 and James 2.

Excited to watch!

Loved your commentary - learned so much!

Even when I’m not in the market for a study Bible, I still enjoy watching your reviews for the little Nuggets of information and knowledge that you share.

One of the best reviews I ever watched. I'm actually going to buy it because of this review. Thank you!

Thank you for giving an open minded review of something outside your tradition. As a long time viewer I have appreciated your objective review of biblical material for a broad spectrum of beliefs. Your ministry is an amazing resource for people searching for study material to better understand God’s Word.

There is a leather bound (Padded leather over hard cover) version that is the NAB-RE translation.

Great job,JM. Many thanks for an enlightening overview. Your Missionary Baptist Sister in Christ.🌹⭐🔥⭐🌹

Very informational! Love it!

Helpful review, thank you!

Someone send him a EOB: THE EASTERN / GREEK ORTHODOX NEW TESTAMENT next please, wanna see his take on it

Excellent review, as always, and as a nominal Catholic, I felt it was very fair. I’m also very interested in checking out your video on Revelation, because I can’t for the life of me figure out any interpretation of Revelation 12 that’s not Mary.

Thank you for this review. I appreciate all your videos and no condescension from me as a Catholic convert now because I grew up as a UMC child and was married in UMC too 😊. I always appreciate and respect other religions and don’t forget where I came from and grew in my faith of God. I still know by heart all the UMC songs /doxology etc 😁

Excellent review of the Didache Study Bible. The Ignatius Study Bible coming out the fall in the RSV2CE translation should be a bit more conservative than the Didache Bible. A question ... I watched your video on the Wesleyan Study Bible, and agree with you that its not so good. So, which study bible would you recommend to conservative Methodist? The Wesleyans are probably my favorite Protestants. I like the Book of Common Prayer 1662, 1928 American, and the 2019 ACNA as well. So, if I were a Protestant, I would be in a conservative Anglican denomination, though I would follow John Wesley's revision of the 39 Articles.

Traditional Catholic here. You convinced me to buy it. Fair review, especially coming from a non-Catholic.

Thank you for the great review. I need to get one.

In the Dojo Online Store there arent yet the Caps, I wanted to buy one like youre wearing....

I greatly appreciated this review! Especially the inclusion of the CCC alongside the study Bible. I feel you respected the Catholic faith quite well for being a Protestant throughout, which I enjoyed. One thing to keep in mind about the Church's reliance on the tradition that came before, is the teaching isn't in a vacuum. As you dig through that CCC, you'll find it's merely the tip of the iceberg of well over a thousand years of writings ranging from eye witnesses of Christs earthly ministry through present day. Many of the works cited by the CCC can be found and studied (and yes, picked apart if you want). For me, I found out the phrase "nothing is new under the sun" quite realistic. Everything we argue about today has been discussed long ago...

On the layout of the deuterocanonical books- you're not going to find any Catholic Bibles that put all of them at the end of the OT, in a kind of appendix. I think there's a little variation in how additions to Esther are laid out (because they're a little chronologically jumbled in the Greek version), but in English Bibles, I don't think there's even a variation in the order of the books. My Spanish Catholic Bible has a different order, ending with Wisdom and Ecclesasticus, but the other deuteros are mixed in with the other OT books. I think (and I'm not sure this is you) lots of people hear deutero and think, "oh, so this is kind of viewed as a secondary canon". But historically, the deutero refers to second in time (i.e, they're written later), not in importance. The "in the canon but at a sort of lower place" is a more common view within Anglicanism and some Orthodox will describe their position in that way, but it's a pretty out of bounds view within Catholicism. Official magisterial documents don't even use the word deuterocanon, to avoid giving the impression that there's a substantive divide. Also, I think the standard, and more fully fleshed out Catholic interpretation of the woman of Revelation 12 is that she's both the Church and Mary. Not surprised that a limited study bible opted for only the one but every Catholic apologist I've read recognizes both.

Thank you for a tip of Christopher Wright's books. Got my first one; Old testament in 7 sentences...it's Great !

Calvinism like the prosperity gospel are rejected outright by some Protestants as being another Gospel.

On an unrelated note, when you talked about not liking the double column Bible. I have what I guess you would call dyslexia. I have a problem when I read where it seems like the letters move and it’s very hard for me to keep my place and I often will keep the bookmark under the lines. Keep my visual focus in line but I also find it way easier to read in the shorter to column formats so if you ever have someone who has an actual Physical type problem with reading and keeping their place it might be helpful to try to print, also a large print makes it much easier for me to read as well and I can see the small print, but for some reason the large print it’s just easier to keep my place and it’s not as hard to stay focused like the letters don’t seem to move around as much.

As a Catholic, I thought your review was very charitable and respectful, A couple of comments like on the maps was very good. Concerning Revelations 12, I tend to talk a dual interpretations approach.

Calling the Catholic belief unique seems like a strange choice of words. If you just mean different than other denominations, yes you’re correct. But statistically Catholic belief is the norm considering the majority of Christians on Earth are Catholic, meaning more than 50% of all Christian’s, while Protestants if you add up all their denominations represent 30 something percent.

I was raised in conservative Catholic school and churches, and am now (recovered and) 😮😊 Protestant. Jokes aside, wish I had this Bible growing up and may gift it to respected Catholics I know based on your informative review. Thank you.

it definitely used to be true that only priests studied, it used to be a capital offense to even print the bible in the language of the lay people

Can you make a review of The Word On Fire Bible ?

I noticed your ADCC shirt And now I just got to ask. Did you watch that or the Craig Jones invitational this past weekend?

I like gavin ortlund view of works faith stuff. Faith is the root. Works are the fruit. Our works as pual said are filthy menstrual rags before the lord... How is that not clear. Its not saying works arent important. But saying that repent and believe and we are saved. Works and good deeds flow from the changed heart after we come to repentance and belief... Im tired of catholics saying we dont value works. We just dont think the work is what saves.

Excellent 👌 assessment. I think historically, the same guy (Luther) who removed the historic dueterocanonical books of the OT that had always been in the Septuagint from its creation in the third century BC, also removed a number of books from the NT.

How can you read revelation 12 as anything other than Mary after the Marian apparition of Guadalupe.?

Nice. Its hard to stay impartial when you have grown within certain denominations. I'm weary of all the in- fighting these days.

CJI shirt?

Keep in mind the Catholic Church has only infallibly defined a handful of verses. When ever I watch Protestants interpret scripture, I’m reminded there are as many magisterium as there are Protestants. 😊

So where do the South Americans and Asians (non-Semitic) people fit in to YHWH / YESHUA soteriology

I have lots of bibles in my software. I can't find YHWH

This may be too personal but where do yall draw the line for the body of Christ? Like the Sri Ramakrishna order is Hindu. They believe in reincarnation, karma, etc. but they also celebrate Christmas and Easter and believe Jesus was god incarnate who died for the sins of the world. In my opinion they are in the club 😂 but that’s just me. Would love to hear some thoughts

So you can't learn anything new from 2000 years of people,monks,etc. that studied and prayed day and night over the Bible?

Bit of Catholic theology--if you're babtized with the trinitarian formula, you're part of the Body. So there--we know you are.

I believe their view of Onanism is contradictory to the rest of the torah. After all, if you spew, you are considered unclean for the rest of the day unless the sunsets or you bathe, which may alude to baptism. If you have sex, you are unclean for the week. If you spew fluid in your sleep, you and your bed are unclean for a week and you need to make sacrafices. The priest also has to sanctify the bed. By the way, being unclean means not partaking in the holy things of God. For Jews, that everything to do with the temple and holidays. For a Christian, that might mean the eucharist. Or if you die in your uncleanliness, being taken to heaven. So pray God doesn't ask for you then. This last interpretation is subject to the main interpreter, Jesus.

A PROTEST ANT AKA SOMEONE PROTESTING AGAINST GOD AND HIS CHURCH 😅 AS IF YOUR VIEWS MATTER

Christ prayed that there would not be division. The current state of Protestism is against the will of God. Actually showing the world Christianity will be rejected for it is not one.

“Trix Rabbit enthusiasts reviews Boo Berry enthusiasts book.”

There are true Christians that are catholic, but its despite the church not because of it. They nullify their prayers by praying to anyone as a filter to God instead of praying straight to the source. And Jesus rebuked the jewish leaders because they had these traditions where they took their interpretations or traditions and taught them as scripture. The catholic catechisms are the same thing. Their traditions being taught as true when scripture never taught that. So Jesus rebuked treating tradition as scripture.

4:30 in the vid-for Protestants 2 Peter 1:20,1 Timothy 3:15, 2 Thess 2:15 (παράδοσις, -εως, ἡ - paradosis=tradition)

How many time they use a word "Tradition"? So they not lie, they already telling you do not follow the bible words, they follow they tradition. Like Jews. Same thing.

A sure sign you shouldn't listen to somebody is if he's got 40 false idol dolls in front of his Bible lol talk about a worldy christian lol
