My mom asked me when I was 20 or 21 for a Christmas gift idea for me. I quickly responded, “A Thompson Chain bible”! We had never gone to church my whole life so she was pretty shocked by my request…I had just been saved and the church I attended used the TCB for studying! That was about 1976. Well, my mom managed to find the Christian Bookstore in our town, my new recent hangout, and asked the clerk about a TCB. She bought me one and paid a whopping $25 for it. That was a lot of money for my family…..and a gift I never would have afforded alone. I still use my TCB…..Fortunately, I bought a heavy cover for it so it remains in pretty good shape. The pages a worn and marked up, but I still love this bible.
@@jchart4 You are so right. The Lord used my unsaved parents to bless me, and cause me to be able to witness to them. His Word does not return void, so by faith, I am believing I will see my parents again someday in the Kingdom.
Besides the TCR, I highly recommend these two study Bibles: 1. The Open Bible (Thomas Nelson) 2. The Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible (AMG Publishers) 3. TBS Westminster
Thanks a lot. It’s great work, but unfortunately my dad doesn’t remember who he used to do it. Check out djd custom bibles. We’ve used him since and he does great work.
I love mine. I came back home to God a couple of years ago after backsliding for years. My KJV Thompson Chain Reference was instrumental in helping me to relearn things and being able to find stuff. Now I have a NKJV one to go with my mini NKJV everyday Bible.
For sure, and I use study bibles with notes also, but sometimes it is nice to focus solely on the scriptures. I need to look into this companion bible - I’ve had a few mention it.
@@jchart4 Yes, I very strongly recommend the Companion Bible. Granted Bullinger was wrong on some things, but if you get it, you will definitely benefit from it.
ONE question for you have you heard or seen the companion study Bible by Ew BILLINGER ? If you have what Is the difference between the two !? Written about SAME Time as. Your Bible late 1890 to around 19 05. Does your Bible explain the KATABOUE foundation of the world what really happened in the garden with Satan ( not no snake or serpent). WHY did God destroy the first earth and heaven age create this second Earth AND heaven age ! Describe who when what that the anti-christ comes is he the first Christ or the second Christ and at what trump seal vile is it 666 or 777 who is sentence to death by name Ezekiel CHAPTER 28 V 18 & 19. 2d thesalions chapter 2 V 1-6 give you a hint. Is Jesus Christ birthday on December 25th or a different day! Looking forward to your answers from your Bible!
Good that's all I ask I'm sure that you'r Bible is similar the companion Bible by Dr BILLINGER can give more information. Check out those 198 APENDEX interesting facts that escape people knowledge
@@jchart4 when you say it goes hand-in-hand. You're speaking about the holy Spirit and the Bible. Know the Bible and the holy Spirit do not go hand in hand. That is a demonic teaching. Other people say if the holy spirit says something if it's not in the Bible then it's not the holy Spirit. That is a demonic teaching. The holy spirit will tell you things that are not in the Bible. The Bible has thousands of lives of contradictions. It's all Mumble jumbled words added or taken out it's not complete.. in the New covenant God inspired the holy Spirit. God poured out the holy Spirit. God did not inspire a Bible and he did not pour out the Bible on the day of Pentecost. But you really think that God poured out the Bible in the day of Pentecost. God never poured out a Bible on the day of Pentecost. Satan gave us the Bible. Through his first beast Constantine the sun god worshiper and a killer. He compiled it. The second beast authorized the Bible. King James Queen James. 666 is a number of a man. King James was a killer was a bisexual. Both Constantine and King James never repented. Jesus doesn't kill with the sword he would never use them. Satan gave us the Bible. When you put him in the Canon scrolls can you change the letters and the words enter it into a law book or the old covenant. To put you under the law. Satan wants people under the old covenant through the Bible. God and Jesus do not honor the old covenant. So they're headed to the bottomless pit.
@@jchart4 the Bible is not inspired by the holy Spirit. There's thousands of lies and contradictions in the Bible. There's one lie in the Bible. It says Mark Matthew Luke and John is New testament. It's in the New testament area next to the book of Acts. Matthew Mark Luke and John his old covenant Jesus was fulfilling the law. Jesus is the testator he was still the test at Mount Calhoun. When he shed his blood the New testament started. So now there's a lie in your Bible and the Bible has a contradiction in it. So the holy spirit is not inspire the Bible. The holy Spirit doesn't lie. You can read the Bible for history and that's okay. It's not good for faith. There is some truth in the Bible yes there is. But not all of it is true. What percentage of Truth and lies I do not know. So you have to go by the holy Spirit not by a Bible book. The apostles win by the holy Spirit
I'm just going to smile and wave at this comment, because I don't want to argue with you. I also agree the New Testament doesn't start until Acts 2. But to say the Bible is a lie because of how it's organized is foolish. The gospels are the life of the testator who brings in the New Testament Covenant. The Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit, it is true, and we 100% need it. Anything the Spirit speaks to us will align with the Bible.
@@jchart4 what you wrote there is so demonic. It's not even funny. God poured out his holy spirit on the day of Pentecost. Did you give us the Bible. The New testament started when Jesus made the sacrifice on the cross and you shedd his blood. That's when they testing was starting. Then the scroll of the acts came along. Jesus had to make the sacrifice on the cross before the New testament started and shed his blood
