A Review of the Common Man's Reference Bible by the Editor

[@mikelloyd1475]

Pastor Hoffman is a great teacher and loves the Lord and his perfect words! He has been an encouragement to me. A wise teacher to that challenges the student to think and look to God's word for the answers!

I just purchased the CMRB 5th edition and I absolutely love it. I’m in hopes that in the future that your seven steps could be a smaller book to carry around. Thank you for the review.

[@jilliran]

Thank you again. So grateful for the new things we keep finding in the old book!

[@wheeliewadethiesen2946]

Had today off of work so I’m driving going to listen thanks for putting this up, I need to get your latest edition, I still use the first one and also the RRB.The footnotes and cross references are priceless Ameni

[@paladinhansen137]

That's neat you're the man who did this edition of the Bible. I see your Bibles everywhere and its as "common" as any Scofield or Thomson chain or Turquoise text block.

[@AnthonyTuminello]

I read through the CMRB last year, even read all the notes. Love this Bible brother, you really did a wonderful job. Looking forward to the 6th edition! May the Lord bless you.

My favorite reference Bible

[@clskip]

My favorite Bible. It would be very helpful to have the Seven Steps article available separate from the Bible as well for study and reference.

[@Soonerwx]

I love my Common Man’s Reference Bible. I have the third edition with thumb index. It’s my favorite Bible. Thank you so much Brother Hoffman for your work!

[@emmanuelaaron984]

Brother, its a big blessing, thanks you for that Book. It's a help to souls here in Tanzania. "..Ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."

[@blakenagy8399]

I have the 2nd Edition, and it's the best study Bible I've had. Still using it to this day. Some of the pages are worn and tore, but I would recommend it to any one.

[@katesheppard7813]

I have so enjoyed using this Bible. It is a wise investment for anyone, especially those who can not find a Bible teaching church. I didn't realise the difference the maps made in my understanding, but they have. Have you produced a book of just your maps, or could you recommend one that has been published?

[@living4jesuschrist843]

Thank you for the review!

[@DebbieClemmer]

Please let me see if you have separation example sermon on mount so i know context .Even 1611 has this before every chapter.

[@eyeonart6865]

I would consider buying if no red lettering, 10 point size printing, hardbound copy. extra sheets of pages for notes.

[@amftpt]

The common man's reference bible is an excellent Bible. Mr. Hoffman gives God the glory and doesn't try to correct God's word.

Brother Hoffman, is there a release date for the 6th edition?

[@akcenat]

This Bible edition is not for me. Why? Because: Firstly, because it seems that it has ~53,000 references, which is not that much for the "REFERENCE" Bible, the references also appear to be based primarily on verbal parallels between passages, which has some value but fails to capture more thematic or theological connections that may not use the exact wording. For difficult passages, the references alone are unlikely to provide sufficient interpretive guidance. Secondly, this Bible has a Baptist viewpoint. So, the book introductions, topical headings, glossary definitions, and any interpretive comments in the notes will naturally reflect Baptist presuppositions on doctrine and biblical interpretation. This is not to say it contains no valuable insights, but it is not for me. Thirdly, the font size of the main text (10 pt) is reasonable, but the footnotes and references are relatively small (6-7 pt). The density of references does make the text look cluttered and busy, which I find visually distracting.

[@Purewordsoftruth1611]

You are most definitely entitled to your opinion and I am entitled not to care. Can't wait until you can do better

[@akcenat]

@Purewordsoftruth1611 I will be praying for you ...

[@johnfanortney7535]

@@akcenat it appears that nothing will satisfy you. You criticize that 53,000 references is not much, but also complain that the density of references looks cluttered. You definitely need to pray for yourself.

[@akcenat]

@johnfanortney7535 I did pray for you, too, but based on your comment, it seems more people than me should also pray for you. For all other readers here, I strongly recommend the Trinitarian Bible Society Westminster Reference Bible with 200,000+ Cross References and not above the so-called reference Bible edition. Also, a better choice than recommended by our distinguished KZbin author above is The NASB Reference Bible, a great New American Standard Bible. It has 95,000+ bottom-of-page cross-references in a much more comfortable-sized font than the Common Man reference bible. And if you have a problem with your eyes, don't worry; for reading those References in Bibles like Westminster or NASB, you will not need a magnifier glass.

[@matthewseven2143]

Thank you for the support of the flat Earth! Greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

[@JensenSarpy]

Where in the video did he support that? Unless you already have this reference bible and his notes mention it in Gen. 1. If he supports F.E. then that's his only flaw because the KJB does not teach nor mention anything about the world being flat because it's not flat. Other than that, Bro. Hoffman has all the correct doctrine on what the bible says on salvation in this dispensation and he knows that all the newer versions of the bible are Satanic bibles disguised as Christian bibles which is completely true. I'd personally like to see a PDF of what the CMRB's notes says about Genesis 1 and see why Hoffman believes the Earth is flat. Personally, I wish the Earth was actually flat because I'd be able to see the southern hemisphere's night sky from anywhere on Earth which is a beauty and I could take a vacation to the edge. The edge would make one heck of a tourist attraction, wouldn't you say? But since the Earth is a globe, there's no edge and I'll have to book a flight to New Zealand to see the southern hemisphere night sky. Have a blessed day!

[@danpoi1319]

How about payments for the poor man lol it needs more notes for the price maybe color and sub headings.

[@moisheplatinumberg6016]

Thinking of buying this Bible. However, I am curious about the pastors view of modern Israel. Does he share the common view of worshipping modern Jews as living gods like so many other dispensational boomers? Or does he have a biblical view of the modern pagan ethnostate of Israel? I can't abide Zionism. It taints the entire understanding of the Bible.

[@jacoblaw3534]

Was looking at Mark 16:16 & Acts 2:38 and salvation is linked to baptism, is baptism a necessary for salvation?

[@mutulica10]

Both times its addressed towards Jews. In Acts 2 its even pretty obvious. (Acts 2:22).Baptism is not necessary for salvation. (1 Cor 1:14-17)

[@jacoblaw3534]

mutulica10 no baptism, unless your a Jew? 🤨

[@seekerofconsistency]

The Lord was addressing the Apostles in Mark 16:16 and Peter was addressing Jews in Acts 2:38. Peter revealed in Acts 15:6-11 that two parts of hydrogen and one part of oxygen is NOT necessary for salvation. The Lord Jesus Christ is worthy to be accepted for one's Saviour (Acts 16:30-31; 1 Timothy 1:15).

I would say Proverbs 18:13 would describe your great research of this subject. Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance. If the truth makes you feel uncomfortable, don't blame the truth; blame the error that made you feel comfortable.

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer's gone, and all the roses falling, It's you, It's you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow, It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,- Oh, Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so! But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I well may be, Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Avè there for me. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!

[@ChantreJ]

@@dannyboy7130 You're showing love with these troll comments? I told you already, there are cheaper editions of this reference Bible, just 20 dollars. Even 99 dollars for the leather one (made in USA) isn't much when you look at similar Bibles, which are hundreds of dollars. When you get one that is well made and take care of it, it'll last you a lifetime. If you get a cheaply made Bible printed in China that smells toxic, it'll fall apart after some use. So quit complaining about the price. Anyone can set aside some money each payday and save up. And God should be capitalized.
