12 Non-trivial Facts about the Bible

[@davidwerble7576]

Jeffrey, As a bar mitvahed confused Jew I've been baptized twice and am involved with a Men's Church Group. You have shown a bright light on scripture and I wish to thank you. I'll keep watching!!

Thanks so much for the kind words, David!

I really appreciate your videos!! I am fairly new at reading and studying the Bible and your videos help to provide a foundation and context. It makes picking up my Bible a lot less intimidating. Thank you so much for your work!! 🙏

I just discovered this channel and so far your channel appears to provide v exactly what I was looking for in a Bible study guide.

[@dgale1023]

This is absolutely the best channel on the bible. Great deal of knowledge. You do a great job Jeffrey, thank you.

[@larrymoore4223]

Jeffrey, thank you for taking the time to explain the many important facts, information and nuances of the Bible. I have read your Beginners Guide To The Bible several times and will continue to read it until it’s well established in my heart and mind. I am actually an ordained minister but I have served on the administrative/business/finance side of the church most of my life. But I did study the Bible in undergraduate and graduate school including seminary. But the way you break it all down and package the information is so incredibly helpful even in these later stages of my life and ministry. I wish I had you for a professor or a bible study leader when I was first saved and learning about the Bible. So thank you again for taking the time to make this information available to the general public. I just recently looked you up to learn more about the fella who wrote TBGTTB and that’s how I discovered your videos. Now I will watch them all and soak up as much as this 65 year old mind and heart can absorb. Blessings!

You're a great teacher. I'm new to the Bible and this Really helps. I would like to know the differences between the bibles. Which is the best one to start with?

[@mfrmxcv]

You should definitely start with one of the Gospels!

[@OverviewBible]

That's kind of you to say! If you're new to the Bible and you're trying to choose an English translation, I recommend the NIV. If you're looking for a place to start _reading_ the Bible, the Gospel of John is a great place to start.

Amazing video, Jeffrey. This is really helpful to show atheists who treat the Bible like one book...they think we use circular reasoning when we're not. I have a suggestion for the next video: 12 prophecies fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

[@frizzyhairedgirl]

Just wanted to say definitely not all atheists do! I can't say anything about the circular reasoning argument, but some of us are really interested in the Bible (and we read it and study it) as a collection of books and documents for its religious, historical and literary relevance. Not approaching it through faith but sincere interest and curiosity. Some of us (not me) even know more about it than the average Christian! I, for instance, don't seek this knowledge for discrediting anyone's beliefs, since what we believe is different to what we know. I don't BELIEVE in God, but I want to KNOW about God and Christianity as it's represented in the Scriptures.

[@joshuastoltzfus4910]

@@frizzyhairedgirl Your demeanor is refreshing Marcela! Thanks for your perspective! I know agnostics/atheists certainly used to (>30 years ago in the U.S.) know more about the Bible or have more of a curiosity about it. However, I didn't know some still do! Which is cool because I think it's the greatest book ever made, certainly from my unbiased Christian take lol.

[@dtreestudio]

Great video, I have been blessed! I am responding now to ask... you stated that the (OT) old testament language was Hebrew and Aramaic. What are your views on the Septuagint? I realize that it was a GREEK King of Alexandria that wanted the translation, around the 240s or so BC, but was done with approval and with JEWISH scribes. Being the common language at the time of JESUS was GREEK ( commercially excepted world wide ) not to imply that JESUS spoke it or used it! I don't know. I just suspect that the SEPTUAGINT might have had a more important role then what is believed. It may have been the common book by the early CHRISTIANS???? I also LOVED your 12 tribes video!!!! You are doing a great work here! THANKS

12:00 Isn’t Daniel and revelation for the people of the end times, so not written for ancient readers? I believe Daniel asked God what the prophecies meant and he was told that it’s not for you, but the people of the end times?

[@OverviewBible]

That's a common (and unfortunate) misconception-unfortunate because the messages of these texts easily get overlooked when people focus on trying to understand how or if it's code for current events. The key problem with this is that everyone who reads a passage as though it's meant for an "end times" audience is going to find indicators that the "end times" is now. And because apocalyptic imagery is symbolic, it's quite easy to make the text say or mean whatever you want it to mean. There's not very much utility in this: the value of the text simply becomes the ability to say, "See? I have an interpretation of this text that, in hindsight, makes this text about what we're going through right now!" Instead, if we read apocalyptic passages with the intent of understanding the issues surrounding their writing, we can get a better understanding of how ancient voices in the faith thought about hardship and tribulations in their time, which can inform our perspective on how we might think about similar situations today. It's a lot less sensational, but a lot more useful. For example, there's no real moral utility for being on the lookout for "the mark of the beast." People have come up with ways to use the thirteenth chapter of Revelation to make ID numbers or electronic transactions or vaccines part of a "the-end-is-near" narrative for generations now. But if the only utility in identifying "the mark" is having identified it, that's not very useful. On the other hand, understanding the mark as symbolic of allegiance to Nero (the face of the god of the empire state at the time) has a great deal of moral utility, even today. The revelator recognized that success, wealth, and in some cases, corporeal survival are often reserved for those who buy in to the oppressive empires of humankind. This detracts from our allegiance to the way of Christ's kingdom (after all, you can't serve two masters). Understanding that you can't expect an oppressive system to reward you for not playing along is far more morally valuable than simply being on the lookout for a single sinister "mark." Does this make sense?

[@sandina2cents779]

@@OverviewBible Are you trying to tell me that Daniel and Revelation has already happened?

[@sandina2cents779]

@@OverviewBible how did you come to the conclusion that the mark is not a literal mark? Is there something in scripture to support that? You said apocalyptic imagery is symbolic. What made you come to that conclusion?

I watch you video again, , can you make video about the New Testament, about Jesus Christ as a person and as God?

[@tmilesffl]

I like your overview, but I would have to disagree with point 1. There is 400 years between the old and new testaments. The new testament books were written from about 50-94 AD. That would not allow much time for the old testament books to be written, about 30-50 years. We know that is not the case as jewish Rabbi's were studying and quoting the old testament for many years. I would also point out that number 10, in the english translations there are around 780,000 words of the bible. Not including the catholic version.
