The best study Bibles 

Imabeliever THANK YOU! 🙏

You’re one step away from buying “Here I Stand” by Roland Bainton! You can do it!

I love the Thompson system, it makes it so easy to find topical references.

This is such a precious Bible! I love it because it takes you to other scripture without commentary!

@@mcfarm806 Yes! Without a person’s “opinion”.

⚠️ joseph ⚠️ That makes you half a Catholic and half confused. You're either Catholic or you're not. Dump Catholicism or dump your Thompson. You can't serve two masters. It's either God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or your pope.

Thank you Tauni!

I can cover those in a season two study Bible video.

Adore?

Thank you. I have a digital version of it, but I don’t want to review it until I get my hands on a physical copy.

I like the Jeremiah study Bible also, but yes, there are definitely ones that are better. Thank you for watching!

I think what you’re doing is great. Sometimes I read the Bible straight through without notes, sometimes I consult the notes, and sometimes I’ll read all the notes. They are all legit ways of spending time with God. And it’s OK if it takes a little bit longer to get through the Bible, God is going to use everything you’re learning to transform you and equip you to do his work.

For new Christians I highly recommend the NLT Life Application Bible. You get an understandable translation coupled with notes that help you apply the text directly to your life. There is a reason it’s the top selling study Bible in America.

The Quest Study Bible would also be a high recommendation for new Christians.

The complete Jewish Bible is fun. I am a Jewish believer, so when I read it, my childhood comes rushing back. he did a good job revising the old JPS Old Testament. I’m not familiar enough with the spirit filled life Bible, but I like the Fire Bible.

@@pastor2pastor568 thank you for your reply/review. Interesting that you are a Jewish believer I have been 3 times in Israel with my wife a sort of homecoming.

If you have the first edition MacArthur study Bible, you probably don’t need the one volume commentary, (the one volume commentary has a few extra graphs and charts) but I haven’t had a chance to compare the one volume commentary with the second edition of the MacArthur study Bible

@@pastor2pastor568 Thank you kind Sir !

That’s OK. The KJV is great. Thank you so much for watching.

I don’t have that one yet, but I’ve heard great things about it!

Thank you so much. My understanding is that the NASB study Bible has the same notes as the NIV study Bible. I won’t bet my life on it but I just heard somebody say that.

Thank you, pastor. I just bought the Niv study bible i seen on your video. I like it, but I need more help understanding. I am not sure which other study bible can help me understand more so that I can speak his word to others. Hallelujah praises God. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you again. God bless you

@@franklopez2744 First, we need to know the meaning of the Bible in one sentence. Here it is. “God’s plan to redeem the world through Jesus Christ means eternal life and abundant life and a transformed life for all who believe.” That’s the Bible in a nutshell. The next thing to do is to figure out the meaning of each individual book of the Bible in a nutshell, in light of the meaning of the Bible in one sentence. For example, Matthew. The main point of Matthew is “The uniqueness of Jesus Christ and his life and ministry and message, and death and resurrection prove that God is with us and is a message that should be shared with the world.” Notice how that fits in with the overall theme of the Bible. And each passage of Matthew has to fit in with the overall theme of Matthew. So, when you preach about the virgin birth, you’re preaching about the uniqueness of the virgin birth, and how it shows that God is with us. When you preach about the temptation of Jesus, you’re preaching about his unique encounter and victory over the devil, and that it anticipates his victory over the devil on the cross. When you preach about the sermon on the Mount, you’re talking about his unique teaching. And so forth. Hopefully the study Bibles will help you figure out the main theme of the other 65 Bible books. But otherwise I recommend the book by Gordon Fee and Doug Stuart “How to read the Bible for all it’s worth.”

@pastor2pastor568 Thank you, pastor. Very helpful

@pastor2pastor568 Thank you for your help pastor. I will look into the book. I'm still gonna look into getting another study Study Bible, maybe one for beginners. I'm so grateful he allowed me to him and have a relationship with him and receive his free gift of salvation so grateful!! Thank you again

I had a friend who had a Dakes Bible, and I loved how it was so chock-full of information. I haven’t seen one in years so I would have to get a new one. Thompson Chain, I know that they are classics, but I’m not familiar enough with it to be able to do a trusted review. Apostolic study Bible, I’d love to see one also.

I love the NIV’s readability, and its dynamic equivalence to the Greek and Hebrew. I have been reading the 1984 NIV for 38 years, I have memorized out of it, I have grown in the Lord in that translation, that is the translation that God has used in my life. The 2011 NIV is better in some verses, but I’m a 1984 guy. If the ESV had been around in 1985 when I got saved, I probably would’ve chosen that. Head to head in the places where they differ, I usually prefer the ESV. But in Bible study, when my wife reads her ESV, it’s usually pretty close to the NIV, and when it differs, we always look at the Greek UBS 5 and the Hebrew to see which is better.

I will feature them in a part two video in the future

I know who Peter Ruckman is, but I had not heard of that Bible.

@@pastor2pastor568 it's great. Points out a lot of verses that the new Age bibles alter to attack Jesus christ and change doctrines. As well as points out heresies from denominations and rebukes their "proof texts" . Helped ground me in the promise that God preserves his words perfectly and that we have them in the king James bible

Conservative Congregational Christian Conference.

@@pastor2pastor568 oh ok that's a new one for me

Hi Derrick. I was only able to comment on physical Bibles that I own. We do have a member of our church who loves the companion Bible and his was wearing out, so I bought him another one.

Long story short, this is a textual criticism issue, and after looking at it, I think our modern translations are better and more reliable than the Greek text the KJV is based on

@@pastor2pastor568 What do you say about modern translations removing I John 5:7, which clearly defines the Trinity…that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit don’t just agree as One, they ARE One?

@@sassybanjo3586 that verse doesn’t appear in the earliest Greek manuscripts, and only in one Greek manuscript before the 14th century. It first appears in Latin translations in the late third and early fourth centuries, and it appears to have come from a scribal note that Jerome had written along the side of 1 John 5. New Testament scholars today are largely unanimous that it was an accidental addition in the TR, not an original verse. We have many other verses in the New Testament, that also clearly teach the Trinity that are authentic.

@@pastor2pastor568 What other verses in modern scripture teach that not just the Father and Son are One, but the Holy Spirit is One with the Father and the Son?

@@sassybanjo3586 Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Romans 15:30, the presence of all three at creation, and at the baptism of Jesus

It’s the Jehovah Witness translation. I use it when JWs come to my door. My assessment of it is the opposite of what you said. I think it is one of the worst translations.

@@pastor2pastor568 No doubt you believe the way you do b/c you are loyal to the dogma of the Trinity, the idea that Jesus is the Almighty God, and the teaching of Hell, which are false ideas not taught in Scripture.

@@RodneyLittle-yr4gm thank you for taking the time to watch the video. Some of the issues you raised really are deserving of their own videos. Maybe I’ll do that at some point.

@@RodneyLittle-yr4gm if we had more time, I would love to sit down with you, and ask you why you believe the way you believe, how you arrived at those conclusions, what can you show me that proves your viewpoints beyond a reasonable doubt, and how you would answer questions I might ask of your interpretations. I find these subjects fascinating. But I am a really busy pastor and it is difficult for me to block out a lot of time online. Maybe someday I will retire from full-time pastoring so that I can do more intense online ministry.

@@pastor2pastor568 I will leave you with this one thought to consider: John 17:1-3. Here Jesus said that the Father, his God, is THE ONLY TRUE GOD. So, where does this leave Jesus? With this statement he proves the Trinity teaching to be false. To continue preaching that the Trinity is true it will leave you in hot water with your final judgment being adverse. Repent before it is too late.

Not everybody will like or agree with everything I say, I understand that. But I’m so glad you watched! Thank you!
