Thoughts on the Dake study Bible?

I have an extensive list of study bibles. I even have a transliteration exegesis bible from Aramaic that I find to be astounding. I find the Dake bible to be one of the best, if not the best study bible in existance today. However, one should carefully use their resources and trust the Spirit to guide your studies and properly discern each resource and use it appropriately. The tools available can certainly make you rich in wisdom of God if used correctly.

???You mean, the Holy Ghost manifests Himself through all believers via the "Gifts of the Spirit"? Even the believers who doesn't believe (yes, an oxmoron, I know) the gifts are for today?

All believers are indwelled by the Holy Spirit, the gifts are gifts. Believers who don't believe in gifts? Where?

I think some people confuse natural God given talents with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Q:What makes a study bible better than a regular bible?

A:It allows one to get an explanation of God Word that makes sense. We want someone to explain God's Word, and intrepret the meaning for us. The problem is what make sense today will be replaced with something which makes even better sense tommorrow.

How do you know if what is being told you is proper doctrine? The Holy Spirit will guide you to the truth? If that was the case no believer would have to worry because the Holy Spirit would always steer the believer away from believing in improper or false explanations and towards the correct one.

The Holy Spirit will guide you to the truth, if you allow Him (He will not override you in any matter), but in most cases, the person will exercise his (or her) freewill and stay in error (can't figure that one out...). Now that is being deceived, especially after having the light shine in their hearts...

Remember the old saying, "You can lead the horse to the water, but you can't make him drink it"?

At any rate, a good study Bible, such as Dake's, will have all kinds of information pertaining to the various aspects of Middle East customs, Jewish ways and point out mistranslations in the scriptures, just to name a few...

BTW, you never did answer a question;

"Anthony, are you Charismatic?"

This time, don't evade the question, please tell us whether you are a charismatic by todays general definition...e.g., are the manifestations (gifts, in the greek, can and should be, in this case, translated as 'manifestations' of God's love and will) of the Holy Spirit operating in your life? For further clarification on Charismatic which comes from the word "charisma", see below;
Strong's Definition of the Greek
G5486
χάρισμα
charisma
char'-is-mah
From G5483; a (divine) gratuity, that is, deliverance (from danger or passion); (specifically) a (spiritual) endowment, that is, (subjectively) religious qualification, or (objectively) miraculous faculty: - (free) gift.

I guess the Bereans would be characterized as causing strife or questioning?

If they came here and broke the rules, yes...

Besides, you are not a Berean, they died out thousands of years ago...

Greetings! Over a period of 25 years I have used Dake's Bible as a study and reference source. I would highly recommend it being part of one's references.

One of the great things about the commentaries of the Dake Bible is that everything is proven from the Bible with at least two Scriptures. In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established(Matthew 18:16). And by the Dake Bible I also learned about the plan of God as revealed in the Bible. Yes, the Bible is in perfect harmony throughout! Again, the Dake Bible is world's best study Bible and I am over twenty years very richly blessed by it!
