After too many years I finally just told my husband that I needed to replace the one I loved. It came in the mail today and I can’t wait to wear it out the way I wore out the first one!

@@authorityfigure1630 I have been baptized several times throughout my 50 years of being a Christian. I was raised and baptized a Catholic as a baby. Also, after being born again I was baptized by full immersion. That is the baptism I really count as authentic, because it was a choice I made personally, because I really truly desired to follow Jesus in baptism. I have over the years been rebaptized, but only because I changed denominations. I see those baptisms as being baptized into a denomination, more than being baptized into Christ. So my first baptism by immersion is the one that counts to me because I truly had given my life to Jesus at that time. In the passage you quoted from John's Gospel about Jesus' discussion with Nicodemus, when Jesus said you must be born by water and the Spirit, He is referring to our first physical birth which occurs when our mother's 'waters' break and we emerge into this world Then when we come to believe and trust in Jesus, we are born a 'second time' through the Holy Spirit It is a spiritual birth. i don't believe this passage speaks of water baptism as being necessary for salvation. Justification takes place at the point of FAITH. At the point of faith, a person is said to be saved. (Acts16:31), given eternal life (John 3:16), made a child of God (Gal.3:26+John 1:12), transferred from death to life (John 5:24), justified (Rom.3:28 + Rom 5:1), given the righteousness of Christ (Rom.4:35 + Phil 3:9), forgiven (Acts 10:43 + Luke 7:48-50). In Mark 16:15-16 it is belief, not baptism that is the critical issue. It says that those who do not believe will be condemned. It does not say those who do not believe and are not baptized will be condemned. Baptism is just an outward sign of an inward change, but salvation does not depend on it.

Girl, girl, girl!!!! I am so glad you said IT, thank you. I have been saying it for years. I got my first Bible when I was 13 and it is so raggedy, and my second Bible is almost as done as the first. One time I purchased a Bible that was $98 on sale, I needed the large print,(glasses). But there is no more room to take any notes in it, and the fancy bible journaling and tip-ins wasn't in at that time. Well I said all of that to say this, I am now 65yrs young going on 45(smile) and I buy two new Bibles every year, one for reading and listening and meditation and the other a good study Bible to mark up like crazy. Over the years the notes and teaching always change depending on where I am in life and how I have matured in Gods Word over time. The Bible translations Did Not Matter.(not yelling, just excited) The Bible is about learning who God is and who we are in Him, and needing a saviour Jesus Christ, and learning to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit as he is the teacher and comforter who leads us into all truths. I will never pay over $50 for any Bible or study resource unless I need it or just have to have it. Sorry I am long with this, but girl I wish we could talk. I watch you all the time, I've watch most of all you old videos, and I love them and you, you bring it.

I completely understand where she is coming from and she makes valid points. The most important thing is to pick up and read your Bible. However, there is nothing wrong with liking premium or higher cost bibles or the features they offer. It’s also ok and normal to want good binding/covers and not want your Bible to fall apart. Some of us want to keep our bibles for many years and would like it to stay intact. When I learned about premium bibles it opened my eyes up to new features that I felt would make reading and studying more enjoyable. For example, I really liked Schuyler’s layout and font. It looked like it would be easy to read and was just very pleasant. I wouldn’t have to struggle to read the text. I made a list of all the things I wanted in a Bible and I was sure I would have to save up to buy a premium bible. I prayed and God showed me Thomas Nelson’s sovereign line that had everything I wanted for

Girl. 😃I have watched a lot of your videos and I don't think I have ever commented on any of them before, but when you said not to just collect the Bibles but to use them, and you're talking about the money people spend, that deserved a big ole' AMEN! I just couldn't not say that. I'm not someone who wants to do all the crafty stuff in my Bible and, honestly, I don't get all the coloring and stuff that people do, which is very pretty to look at, for sure. I'm glad it adds some zest to your time in the word. It would all just get in my way visually and spatially since I like to write and I like to write a lot, so that's where I put my energy. But because I do, I'm always trying to be on the watch for a Bible that will give me writing space (ain't nobody got the money for buy and try, thank you). I too want just ONE main Bible, which is what I am now working toward. My KJV and NKJV are just blasts from the past at this point in my life. I'm glad we're doing better these days. My NIV study Bible is too big because I want to be able to carry it with me. My NLT is not a preferred translation for regular use, so while it has decent margins, I don't see myself writing in it. My Amplified is one of my faves and gets lots of use, but I realized that it's better for study as I want to be able to just go with the rhythm of the words sometimes, so my ESV is my new main for the moment until I can find a journaling one. I think an ESV/AMP parallel with margin space would be the Holy Grail! 💃💃 😄 But I won't invest in anything new until next year because I want to know I have read all of my Bibles in their entirety before I get a new one. I'll then transfer my most important notes to whichever new one I land on for NEXT year, which is 2024 at this point. At the moment, I am making an ongoing list of what I do and don't want and just watching and patiently waiting. (I'll talk to God about it too pretty soon. 😉) Anyway, thanks for a video that focuses on the function of the Bible you're reviewing and not just how pretty the cover and/or pictures are. It's hard to get to see the insides of some of these on Amazon or other sites.

The Bible translation that you should read: IS THE ONE YOU'LL READ!!! It was the best advice I got when contemplating the main/reading Bible I wanted to use. I was using the NKJV/KJV in my first few years... Then changed over to the NASB. But, this year, I researched all about the CSB, as I love the HCSB. But, as the HCSB is no longer in print. When I started listening to the CSB through audio. It's like the Bible suddenly came alive to me and I didn't want to stop listening to it 😊!!! I love that the CSB is both accurate and readable and it's officially my main Bible. For studying and better clarity I love using: AMP, NLT, NASB, NIV, etc... I love using the KJV for poetic purposes and hand lettering! For Church and travelling, I have a pocket size CSB (legit the Bible fits in my pants/skirt pockets). But, I've also thought to just use my phone Bible app that has all the translations. And to just bring a pen and blank paper for note taking. I'm a minimalist at heart and I love to travel light.

There's a problem with the CSB bible translation, Micah 5:2, not only in the CSB it was terrible wrongly translated, also In the NIV, NET, among other modern translations. The chocking thing is that in the HCSB this verse, Micah 5:2 was correctly translated: "2 Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are small among the clans of Judah; One will come from you to be ruler over Israel for Me. His origin is from antiquity, from eternity." That final sentence says that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has no begining cause his origins is "from eternity", that's the difference. The CSB denies Christ's deity cause He is eternal, but, HCSB does not. Be careful!! Blessings!!

@@Blurp3 It's good to have multiple bible translations to consult as you are well telling me, but, I prefer bible translations based on the *_Textus Receptus,_* cause in the XVI Reformers time, the bible translations resulted from their work in the Lord are the bible translations which God powerfully used to bless the nascent church and still has, so if God moved them to use the _Textus Receptus _ but not the _Critical Text_ that fact should make us to consider which bible translation to read and study from. In God nothing is random but according to his plans and purposes. The modern bible translators do not take this fact into account and that is why the deity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is compromised in almost all modern bible translations which have passages and verses such as Micah 5:2 that have been so wrongly translated.

Pound for Pound the KJV is the best translation. Granted some words are no longer in common use, but a quick Google search is an easy fix for that. Doing so expands one's knowledge and wisdom. That said is the best to be used by a middle schooler? A few yes but for most kids maybe not

@@danieldunn6284 it’s not the 400 year old English language, but that the KJV was based on only a handful of Greek manuscripts that were very corrupted by the Latin catholic Vulgate - the oldest of which was 10th century , such that it included lots of a phrases and verses that are not in the oldest Greek manuscripts. Sometimes these Catholic additions to scripture change or alter the meaning of the passage. For example, Romans 8:1.

This is a fantastic video!! Loved all the points you made. We should be asking ourselves "What is my motive for buying THIS Bible? Is it to look good or is it to grower closer to God?" I remember when I was a kid and I asked someone why our church used the Bible translation we used. And they said because it was the most accurate (or something along those lines). So I was scared to try different translations. Then we attended a different church and they were using NIV so I started reading that translation. But, thanks to you, I am using the ESV translation and I am very happy with it. I still have my older Bibles too that I can use as well

Faith, Faith, Faith...while I totally get where you're coming from in your vid regarding premium Bibles and how some seem more interested in the Bible and it's construction and features over actually using it, there are those (and I'm including myself in that ) who do enjoy a top quality premium Bible...or two...or three! ;) If you've never had one, like a Schuyler Quentel in a luxurious goatskin cover with amazing paper and layout that will last a lifetime, then you might not fully understand why some are so drawn to owning these high end Bibles. I have several, and I do use most of them...even marking in several. In fact, I hope to pass these Bibles on to my grandkids one day...and where my faux leather, trutone, or hardback Bibles will most likely be falling apart or coming unbound to where they may become so fragile to even handle some day, a good premium Bible will remain useable for the long haul through my lifetime and that of my grandkids. Yes, some people get carried away and may be trying to fill some hole in their soul with way more expensive premium Bibles than they'll ever be able to use, they could be collecting something else which offers no opportunity to encounter God's Word. Just my 2 cents.

@Gretchen Taylor... where as I agree with you to a point regarding Premium bibles.. I have a Schuyler and an Allan.Bible . myself... I do Not agree that the paper layout will last a lifetime.. the ones I have are a very thin 28 GSM.. paper.. and if one is Not too careful.. the paper will tear very easily... and I have seen reviews on these where the paper bleed thru using gel pens or high lighters is horrendous...also there is a certain amount of temperence required even in regards to page turning... for if one does this too quickly.. the pages will develop a crease in them that does not smooth out over time.. there is a certain method in regards as to how the pages need to be turned..to avoid permanent creases..... though I have several bibles I have used over the years over and over again... I usually do not have to be concerned with permanent creases in the pages or dog eared pages.. another thing I detest.... I think a bible can be read and handled often without these worries occuring by accident... even page turning has to be done with finesse on these..Premium Bibles..they are definitelu NOT. suitable to take to a church where the sermon is going back and forth thru many passages quickly... Not Suitable at all..!!..now ,,... maybe the older ones from several years ago used heavier paper.. but sadly many of the newer ones use lighter GSM paper to compromise for the weight of the bible..since some were complaining their bibles were to Heavy to carry...thereby sacrificing the quality of endurance.pf the paper....... I would be cautious regarding the marking up of certain Shuylers and Allans available...today...

Thanks Faith for this video. I’ve been bouncing around Bible Translations for the last year from the KJV, CSB, NIV, NKJV, NLT to the ESV and the Amplified Bible… and I’ve spent far too much money on trying to find the “right” translation only to realize that I always go back to the NLT and the NLT is where I get the most from. And I love reading it. I always go back to the NLT and this has happened more than once over the years and it’s time I stuck with it. I know it’s always good to have more than one translation to gain clarity on certain verses and to gain a deeper understanding. The ESV is also very easy to under understand and I do read it from time-to-time. It’s time I stopped purchasing Bibles in favor of focusing on learning the word of God. And this video has made me realize this. Thank you so much 😊. And God Bless ❤

Love this!! I just bought a new Bible after using my college study bible for probably 15 years! I still use my old study Bible almost every day but felt like I needed a new one to start fresh in a new season in my life. I felt so guilty buying a new one just because it's like, "Do I really need a new Bible?" But I did get it on sale for $22, so I thought why not. It's VERY easy to look at Bible reviews and Bible journaling videos and get into the thinking that "oh, I need to have the exact same Bible she has, and I need to make my Bible look beautiful with notes!" But I have to correct that thinking real quick because it's just another way to get distracted from God.

This is going to be lengthy haha I hope this helps you “understand” premium bibles. I don’t know why you talk down on expensive bibles. I never met a person who said that someone has to have a premium Bible. I’ve never met a person who thought they got extra points with God because of it. I’ve never met someone who bought premium bibles and never used them. Never met a person who thought their goatskin cover brought them salvation. 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅 thick ribbons are better at doing what they’re supposed to do: flipping pages open with them. Paper won’t fall out because it’s stitched. Paper is opaque (thus expensive) which allows me to read LONGER without sore eyes from the severe page “ghosting” of cheap bibles. Leather won’t split or peel, because it’s quality material. That’s why they’re bought… because it lasts. Because it’s quality material… There’s a reason yours are falling apart and my R.L. Allan, Cambridge, etc isn’t even showing any signs of aging. Not everyone wants their bibles to fall apart. Unless you think a worn bible makes you look “cool” or something. It’s junk materials. If you use your Bible HEAVILY, the premium market was literally created FOR that very reason. I don’t even make much money at my job. It’s an investment that’s worth it to ME. My take on it is this: if I’m going to be reading and taking notes in my Bible EVERYDAY, I want it to last as long as possible. I’m saving money in the long run by paying $250 for an R.L. Allan or a Schuyler as opposed to buying a new cheap faux leather bible that begins falling apart in less than a year, over and over again. I don’t worship my bible just because I want one that will last. I have 4 bibles in different translations and won’t have to buy a bible ever again in my life unless they are stolen. With your logic, you all should buy cheap laptops, cars, shoes, shirts, jeans, earrings, food, etc. Buying good name-brand dish soap doesn’t get you salvation. Makes no sense to me why you’d want name-brand dish soap. (Very sarcastic paragraph here) Just wanted to share my experience. But, yes, some people collect premium bibles and it’s not a sin. If they aren’t putting their bibles before God, is it a sin? If they don’t put their bibles before others, is it a sin? Id say no and no. What matters is that they obey Gods commands and strive to live like Jesus. If they enjoy Gods word and want multiple copies, there’s nothing wrong with it. It doesn’t necessarily mean they are storing up treasures on earth or idolizing them. People have interests. Some buy guitars, some buy baseball cards. I can’t think of one piece of scripture that would convict most of these bible collectors of a sin. Most of them are bibliophiles who put God first and obey his word and get excited about the art of binding bibles. A wonderful thing. I HIGHLY recommend people buy a premium Bible and use it. Save money, save notes from being wasted by having to replace your bible, and most importantly, enjoy it. It’s like everyone here is broke (nothing wrong with that. I make 15 an hour) and is justifying their inability to buy a premium Bible by mentioning how useless it is, like it makes them feel better. I don’t understand. God bless you all and have a good day!

I myself use a wide variety of bibles - normal print, large print, pocket size, with and without references, with space for notes, many different study and apologetics bibles, different translations, even different languages (I actually make a fair bit of reference to the NBLA, which I consider a great Spanish translation). I have some fancier bibles but most of them were gifts. Some were given to me because the other person didn't like the style (for example, the Schuyler KJV Treveris is a paragraph format, which I like but a lot of people don't). Once I decided to do a review of the TBS KJV Westminster - and instead of buying the fancy leatherback like everyone else did, I bought the cheap hardback version. That gave me everything I needed - and frankly, I *prefer* hardbacks. More utilitarian.

Please be careful how you say things about buying premium Bibles because someone could purchase 10 different Bibles that cost them 20.00 each so they've spent 200.00 on Bibles and they just collect dust or they could spend 100.00 on a Bible that they read every day and meditate on .

I will never give up this Bible because I see my Christian walk on almost every page.

The Bible in the original languages (Greek, Hebrew and some Aramaic) is perfect, this is what God chose to have his Word in. Jesus' disciples quoted from the Septuagint, which is the Greek translation of the Hebrew. Similarly, we too recognize that translations are the Word of God because God wants us to understand Him. But when translation is not clear, compare with the original languages.

I'm just saying the pharisees had the word of God but Jesus called them out on there own hypocrisy and legalism. Just because I read an ESV will not make Him love me less. Or give me less faith. We are saved by faith through Jesus alone. No other thing is going to get anyone in heaven. No matter what works I do or what bible translation I read non of that matters.

I come from the trades, I see the value in quality. If I buy a tool I don't want it to break when I need it, then buy another cheap one to replace it... again and again. Me spending more upfront on something quality saves me more in the long run, plus then I can hand it down to my sons. Why not for something so much more important like God's word? What's the real difference between "consuming" a $50 bible every couple years or spending $200 on one that will last you a generation? I have a couple bibles that will most likely last me a lifetime of use and then be handed down to my sons, I see great value in that and I hope my sons will as well when they receive them.

Your comments about premium Bibles and people not wanting to mess up a book they spent a relative fortune on reminds me of when I was briefly obsessed with fountain pens. It's so easy to forget that in the end, a fountain pen is a tool for writing words on paper - and any functional pen will do that. You don't need a $1000 one to write in your journal and jot down a to-do list for the day. Same with a Bible. I have felt myself falling down the rabbit hole of wanting expensive bibles and collecting multiple bibles. And then they just sit and gather dust because I can only read so many at a time! You state the case very clearly, and I appreciate it. 😃

I will never understand why people make such a big deal over “thee, thou, thy, thine”. Don’t know what they mean? Go learn! But that aside, they actually serve a purpose as they help differentiate between singular and plural. They are the ONLY English words that so that as opposed to “you” and “your” in modern day could be singular OR plural. That’s one of the many reasons why the KJV buries any other translation. It’s BY FAR the most accurate on every level. And if there’s a few words in it one doesn’t understand? Go learn! Don’t we do that now anyway? If I’m reading an article or book and don’t understand a word, I look it up. It’s not that hard.
@Frank-1Joh4-9Ай бұрын
It is not about looking up. These words are Germanic phrases as the English language is a Germanic language. They are difficult to process by the language center. The text never reaches the heart and therefore are useless for the spirit in us. That is why, KJV people always pride themselves about their translation and compare themselves to others. Looks pretty like a pharisee in Math 23 isn‘t it.

Thank you, as always, for a great video. You are spot on; a Bible, its translation, its quality, etc., does not save a person. Obviously, this is the the work of the Lord Himself. On this main point, I completely agree. I do, however, respectfully disagree with the premise that there is NEVER a place for a premium Bible, and that one should NEVER purchase such a Bible. For instance…I have a number of Bibles that I use for my regular reading and studying of the Word, and my KJV Study Bible is a main one. It is the one that really feels most familiar and like an “old friend,” so to speak. However, it is a replacement of its predecessor, a KJV Study Bible of lesser quality that completely fell apart, and the current one is actually on its way to needing a replacement. If, or I should say when, I need to replace this Bible again, I will be buying a premium quality KJV Study Bible, and it will be the last time I replace it. (Another example would be the Thompson chain reference Bible my husband bought years ago. It was a hardcover, and has now fallen apart, such that it is no longer usable. This is another Bible that, when it gets replaced one last time, it will be with a premium leather version.) But, as I stated, the study Bible is one of many Bibles on my shelf, all of which are hardcover, or imitation leather, etc; while I do aspire to one day own a premium leather Bible, I do not need a shelf full of them. I plan to pass ALL of them down to my children, no matter what quality they may be. I hope we as believers understand that we will vary widely in our opinions on the place that particular Bibles may or may not have in our personal stashes. No doubt, just as you consider premium Bibles to be inappropriate, there are believers that think it is out of line to have more than one Bible, or one translation, etc. I completely respect you for having a shelf full of Bibles, and no desire to own a premium Bible. I also completely respect those who have a shelf full of premium Bibles. Neither of you share my exact position on this issue…and that’s okay! Again, thanks for this video (I am in complete agreement with your main point)! P.S. I look forward to your video in which you share how you will move into a new Bible once your current one-which I absolutely love, with all the wonderful notes you have in it!-falls apart. :)

I have quite a few Bibles. Some are very nice (Schuyler and also RL Allan), some are midrange and some are paperback. I have quite a number of translations as well. I actually have a few of the same Bibles that she has in the video. But I don’t think that just because you like a nice Bible with nice ribbons and premium leather, I really don’t think anyone thinks we’re getting closer to God for buying a premium Bible. It would be just as ludicrous as me saying the total opposite to those of who you mark up, highlight all over the place and put a boatload of stickers/sticker notes in your Bible that is $50.00 and under, that makes you think you are closer to God or more/saved. This is sounding very legalistic. Some people simply enjoy a premium Bible with higher quality leather, really nice paper and three ribbons. If someone likes that, so be it. Enjoy using your Bible(s), in whatever fashion works best for you. We all have a slightly different approach as to what works best for each one of us and that is perfectly okay!

I use and love premium Bibles and I'm so glad I was gifted my 1st one because that one Bible changed my whole Bible reading experience forever 😍 #blessed Personally I would never tell my viewers to do something or in your case not to do something just because I am biased against it. But instead you should be encouraging everyone to find out what works BEST FOR THEM and for their own personal walk with God. After all He created us all differently for a reason. For example this subject here as you said in this video I could say you were literally wrong about Premium Bibles because I love them and the amazing leather the soft buttery feel of the paper it just pure excitement for me soooo much so that I want to use my Bibles even more. Way more than I did in any of my cheaper Bible. So I'm now marking in my them and I enjoying growing my Bible Gardens with them. Which from your video would be wrong because this just doesn't happen. So what I'm trying to say as a Christian influencer with viewers such as yours it's yours responsibility to them to be helpful I believe. I encourage you to either try something out before making such a bold statement or end it with do whats best for your own personal spiritual walk. You just may hinder someone who was much like myself and needed something different than a $60 dollar Bible to finally receiving the Bible reading experience they've always been looking for. >> You get exactly what you pay for.

The reason translation tend towards the male is in the English language the masculine is neutral. So any Greek that was neutral would be translated as masculine. If a translation used instead used a feminine it would be a bad translation. I have been using the Berean standard Bible lately a whole lot. I do look at various translations when studying a passage as words can have meanings that do not readily translate to English. Looking at 3 different translations of a Greek word helps to get a better sense of the meaning
