Dake Study Bible

[Gideon4God]

Who uses this thing?

 

[Hunose]

Who uses this thing?

I've had lengthy conversations with people who swear by it. I have been thoroughly convinced to avoid it like the plague.

 

[Grace_Alone4gives]

what is it?

 

[Blade]

I use it + alot of others. But everyone should always look up verses heb, greek them selfs.

 

[BigToe]

i dont know what it is.... anyone want to clear that up?

 

[ZiSunka]

A lot of my Nigerian clients want them. They are Bibles with study helps geared toward the spiritual gifts.

 

[BigToe]

a friend of mine told me that Dake also believe God isn't all knowing, that you if you die after a sin and before you repent, that you go to hell, that Jesus's blood can't cover all our sins, and even more stuff like that. Is that accurate?

 

[ZiSunka]

I don't think so. Dake's is just a method of studying the KJV Bible, not a new interpretation or translation of the Bible. If it's not in KJV, it's not in Dake's.

My clients who request them have always been VERY orthodox in their theology.

 

[SonWorshipper]

I have to say that it seems offensive to me to be calling the Bible, the word of G-d , a "Thing".

I happen to own one, purchased over 15 years ago, by the grace of G-d I believe. It is an Annotated Reference version of the Authorized King James Bible. This is one of nearly two dozen versions I have and I use it quite often.

I have read various denouncements of this mans work ( over 43 years of Dakes life went into this) but I still think that it holds a treasure trove of information in one volume. I don't agree with everything in there, as no one man's interpretation should be, but that is not to discredit the whole work as a "Thing".

Some of handy helps included in this work are:

• 9,000 headings dividing the text ( making it easy to spot a certain theme in a chapter).
• Half a million cross-references of scriptures
• 35,000 notes and comments on certain words
• Summary of interesting facts following each book
• Lists of things such as, commandments, lakes, judgments, plagues, kings, sins, wars, miracles, mountains, etc.
• Hebrew and Greek words defined -- Obsolete English words defined
• Guide for reading the Bible in a year
  Sermon material notes for ministers
• 2,000 illustrations
• Maps

and the list goes on and on.

I don't agree with his dispensational views, but that does not nullify many of the other material helps in this work.

Thanks SonWorshipper! Informative!

 

[BigToe]

oh I wasn't trying to say anything about the Dake Bible. I was just realizing I had heard somethings the person taught, that happened to be associated with that translation. So I figured this would be a safe place to ask about those and see if it is accurate. Sorry if I offended you

 

[SonWorshipper]

Blanton you did not offend me, I was posting to the OP

"Who uses this thing?"

Sorry for the mis-understanding.

 

[BigToe]

oh ok. just trying to make sure i wasn't being offensive, or to learn what i said so i could avoid it in the future. Since you said that you use that translation, is there a website or something with information? I have never seen one before (a copy of the translation). Perhaps, I just haven't seen it because I wasn't aware of its existence.

 

[ZiSunka]

Again, it's not a translation, it's the KJV. Standard KJV.
