How I Study the Bible | My Routine, Tips & Favorite Resources :)

[@MeadowsSweep]

Bible illiteracy is such a HUGE problem, both in and out of the Church. One of the biggest errors I see people make when reading/studying the Bible is looking at it through the lens one 21st century America. People everywhere need to understand that diligent attentiveness is a must when reading any ancient document. So when we read those "tough" books the Deuteronomy or Lamentations we have to ask ourselves certain questions like: "Who is the writer talking to?", "Am I putting this in it's proper context?" or "What does the rest of the Bible say about how I'm interpreting this?". Having been an atheist for most of my life I have seen so many people use and abuse passages to justify their lifestyle/agenda. Honestly, the person who keeps the skeptic up at night thinking is the one who cleared up their misconceptions by removing their cultural lens through a proper understanding of the Bible. You did a great job Becca, Bible literacy is something sorely needed in the church today. Praying for you

Can you do a morning routine as a teacher???!!😁😁😁

[@clairecamba3208]

"Everything in the Bible is supposed to be there." Preach girl! SO TRUE, and yet I don't know if I've ever looked at it that way. I am currently in a season where I've realized if I want to grow in my relationship with the Lord that I have to dive deeper into parts of scripture that are harder to understand. This video couldn't have come at better time for me!

@@acecadet8812 Hi Ace! I am not entirely sure on that, I would have to see what exactly the Bible says! I use this website a lot, and for the most part the Doctrine is from the Bible, of course it is not perfect because humans write the articles, but it is gotquestions.org and they attempted to answer the question, www.gotquestions.org/see-Trinity-heaven.html - whenever I read an article I always compare it to what the Bible actually says! But this may help us as we start to search for the answer in the Bible! :) Blessings to you! Love your question!

[@emilyhayes5699]

Ace Cadet that’s hard to know as the Bible actually never uses the word ‘trinity’, it was coined by an apologist called Tertullian.

I almost didn't watch this video (I don't usually watch videos like this), but I'm so so glad that I did. And my mind was absolutely blown with that bit about John 13 with Jesus laying down his clothes as foreshadowing. I had never thought about it that way so I truly thank you Becca for sharing that with us. It's just one more thing that shows how awesome the Bible is and how even though I've read it all my life there are still new things to be discovered.

[@zyuh64]

Can I just say that I absolutely love hearing other people talk about Jesus and the Gospel with this kind of energy :D because I know the struggle to feel this way; so positive. It’s a daily practice and it’s an overwhelming experience when you notice him near you all the time. I’m so happy to know there are people in Thai world with so much faith. It’s reassuring and comforting because I don’t have many friends in my community , I love going on KZbin and hearing people like this speak his word. I love it so much ❤️

[@anastasiyarakova8517]

Video idea: is there a church you go to? What does it look like, can you give a tour and talk about it? I know filming inside isn't allowed usually (or just out of respect) but that would be cool. Or, any small/large groups/Bible studies you attend during the week :)

The Bible Project on YT has some great animated films that do a pretty great analysis of both the Bible, and individual themes and books that I found really helped me.

[@cecebaucom769]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I am currently reading through Exodus, and I really needed encouragement, and you gave that to me. I was just looking at imagery of Jesus in the old testament in my youth group, and this just made me want to study it. There is a lot of judgement in Exodus and in the law books, and this just made me think about it differently!!!! Thank you Becca!! xoxo

Aww I’m so glad it helped you girl:)

[@tomstirling340]

This is a really great video with some excellent study suggestions. If I could make a suggestion you should look into down loading LOGOS 7 (it's free in it's basic configuration with 2 translations KJ & FaithLife) but you can purchase others for $9.99 each ( I have NIV and ESV) plus a huge array of other resources. My younger son used LOGOS when studying for his Mdiv in Theology (and still uses it practically every day). Wonderful resource.

[@tisha84tmd]

Love your point of not taking a bible verse out of context, my fiance is always reminding me about this. Loved seeing someone else talking about it.

[@thegreatbambino1523]

So refreshed to hear you say this. Like people have said here, bible literacy is probably the biggest problem in the church. As God says many times in various ways, my people perish for lack of wisdom. I often find it hardest that it's really difficult to have biblical conversations with Christians because most don't know the story. Not even diving into mind blowing truths, but just trying to make connections between how things in the past related to Jesus or us, it's basically impossible because people don't know any of the stories, and have no desire to catch up.

[@litforbrains]

Thank you so much for letting us know about the BibleHub resource for learning the original language! I am so excited to see that it has Hebrew, as well! That is so helpful for the Old Testament, because Google Translate doesn't have transliteration or audio for Hebrew.

[@artistforhisglory]

I am going through Isaiah right now and using the same study! I love the Daily Grace Co. studies! 💕 Have a blessed day! 😉

[@ropecrewman36]

So much Yes! Especially tip #2! I remember how much excitement I got when I realized how much the Old and New Testament are connected. Also, Christ shows up several times in the OT before His incarnation (e.g. The Commander of the Lord's Army in Joshua, the fourth man in the fiery furnace in Daniel, etc).

[@Frostypaws555]

Thank you! loved everything you resourced and mentioned 💛

[@PassionforDreaming]

I love learning languages and one of the reasons why I study them is to read or watch something in its original language. I also studied interpreting and translation. Something always gets lost in translation. It's hard to convey all the nuances of a language exactly into another. So I totally agree that language matters (although I am guilty of never having studied any of the biblical languages). I also really agree with the importance of context, especially when trying to interpret the meaning of a word or passage. Great video! I really like that shirt and want to get it whenever it's available again (:

Hey! You are absolutely stunning inside and out. I’m a recently turned back Christian and I’ve completely surrendered my life to Jesus this time for good. He called me out of a sinful relationship through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Can you please do a video about waiting?

Old Testament is a mixture of Hebrew and Aramaic. As far as we know, Daniel 2:4b-7:28 is in Aramaic. See footnotes of your Bible Ezra 4:8-6:18 and 7:12-26 is in Aramaic Jeremiah 10:11 is in Aramaic (which makes sense as he is quoting a sentence) Genesis 31:47, a single word, is in Aramaic (and this makes sense) Also Jeremiah is in 2 forms and both forms are part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Septuagint (translated from Hebrew into Greek by 70/72 scholars round about 200BC -300BC) has Jeremiah 7/8th shorter and arranged differently and this version is part of the Greek Orthodox Bible. I am trying to get hold of this). Jesus is likely to have known 4 languages: Hebrew, Aramaic (and that is certain), Greek (common language of the Roman empire) and Latin (official language of the Roman empire). Biblial Hermeneutics is worth knowing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_hermeneutics Many newer Bibles have as their source: Nestle and Alands Novum Testamentum Graece Now on 28th edition, all in Greek There are 6 other companys that publish their versions See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novum_Testamentum_Graece and also the Biblica Hebraica from Stuttgart, Germany, now on 5th edition See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblia_Hebraica_Quinta and also previous 4th edition en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblia_Hebraica_Stuttgartensia

Marce Magarin I’m sure reading the Bible in English is a great way to expand your vocabulary but don’t forget you can read the Bible in Spanish too. The Bible is no more special in English than it is in Spanish. After all it originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.

This semester I am in a Civilization I class and I was mainly excited because we study ancient civilizations and I figured it would help me understand the context of the bible and so far I have only had 2 classes and I already have found ways that the history we know fits into passages in the bible, it has really got my gears a turning. Like historians believe all people once dwelled in one place in Africa and then dispersed to other parts of the world.
