Looking for a really good study bible.

[TedPerr]

I'm looking for suggestions on a really good study bible for myself. I mean a bible who's explanatory material was written and edited by people who really seem to believe that the Bibls is God's inerrant word.

I bought 'The Catholic Bible: Personal Study Edition (New American Bible)' from Oxford University Press, but have found too many places in the study guides where the 'bible experts' talk about all the 'errors' and 'historical inaccuracies' in the Bible. I, a first-time reader, seem to believe more in the accuracy of the Bible than these 'experts' do.

Any suggestions?

forget study Bibles - they are a distraction, imho. Just use a good concordance to look up Hebrew and Greek words. If you use the word search, you can find any verse that pertains to a subject and let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth - IN HIS WORD.

As Jesus said: IF you stay in My Word, you shall have the truth and the truth shall set you free.

So you want a Study Bible that fits what you want it to say?

That's...contradictory to what you should do.

They are right; there are historical inaccuracies. Then again, it doesn't bother me.

I, a first-time reader, seem to believe more in the accuracy of the Bible than these 'experts' do.

So you trust your own self-admitted inexperience more than those who've studied the Bible for probably 20+ years?

My suggestion is to forgo the entire Bible and read St. Augustine of Hippo's On Christian Teaching. It is an excellent resource written by one of Christianity's greatest experts of the Bible and a doctor of the Church. It is not long and worth 10,000x its weight.

Then, read the Bible.

Why suggest a Study Bible that promotes a theology only 150 years old and whose direct roots were condemned in the 2nd and 3rd Ecumenical Councils?

DISPENSATIONS ARE NAMED IN EPHESIANS

ignore them if you must but you will miss the depth length and height of the bible

What about NET Bible

Nope. Otherwise, they would have been taught by the Fathers.

I shall ignore all Chiliasm as it was condemned, thank you.

John MacArthur believes that the Bible is true. I think his study notes, which are wonderful - both scholarly and full of faith, are in the NKJV and the NASB. I have the NKJV and really enjoy it!

Don't let the skeptics get you down. When they are floundering in their faith, you will be flying on wings of eagles!

If one apostle believe another apostle can not teach them... is this how the body works? eph...

what is chiliasm?

 

[PaladinValer]

It is NOT Apostolic. If it was so important, it would have been taught. It was not. Instead, it didn't crop up until the defrocked and excommunicated Darby appeared.

what is chiliasm?

What Dispensationalism is a form of. It was condemed by the 2nd and 3rd Ecumenical Councils as being against the Creed.

eph 1:10 That in the disensation of the fulness of times...

eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God


eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is this dispensation mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ

interesting ....

 

[Willo]

1) John MacArthur Study Bible (NKJV or NASB)
2) Matthew Henry Study Bible (KJV)
3) The Reformation Study Bible (ESV)

They are by far the best study Bibles I have seen.

From Finland.

There are so many good study bibles, but it really depends what you are looking for. There is the Orthodox Study Bible with KJV, but the study notes are from an Orthodox perspective...then you have The Reformed Study Bible with notes from a Reformed view. So the list goes on including those that are mentioned in above previous posts.

In Him, david.

Fallacy of Equivocation.

In addition, your interpretation is only as old as Darby. It is therefore not Apostolic. Since it agrees with something condemned by Ecumenical Council, neither then is it orthodox or even Christian.

So some men denied the greek orginal word... oh well

No, some people use eisegesis to prop their unorthodox theology upon a Greek word that meant something totally different.

Like I said: Fallacy of Equivocation.

so sad....

 

[PaladinValer]

Well, you can always accept amillennialism and the Kingship of Christ

 

[A Brother In Christ]

those are wrong just as you are ...

you make me sad

Fallacies of Pity are always erronous.
