How To Use The Open Bible

[@robertshirley624]

This is a great study Bible. I have a large print edition from around 1990. The Open Bible is a currently available in the KJV, the NKJV, and the NIV. At one time, it was also available in the NASB. I have just a couple of comments to add to your review. 1. The Topical Index (used to be called the Cyclopedic Index) lists virtually every person (both individuals and peoples), place (towns, rivers, mountains, etc.), topics (ie angels, apostles, work, zeal, and everything in between), concepts, positive & negative character traits and actions, and much more. 2. The Christian’s Guide to the New Life: Outlines and Notes - These outlines are connected to the (approximately) 100-120 notes which are interspersed throughout the text at key places. These notes are the ONLY notes. There are no notes to help explain the text (as in most study Bibles). 3. The book introductions were written by Kenneth Boa and Bruce Wilkinson (of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries). These are taken almost word for word from their Bible survey book ‘Talk Thru the Bible’. Each introduction contains: The Book of….. , The Author of….. , The Time of….. (both when it was written and when the events happened) , The Christ of….. , Keys to….. , and Survey of….. This is followed by a chart showing the flow and structure of the book, the geographical locations of the events, and the time period of the events of the book. 4. Then there is an extensive outline of the book which corresponds to both the previous survey and the chart. In fact, the outline even corresponds to the in-text subject headings found throughout the book. (In most Study Bibles, the outline in the introduction does not correspond with them.) 5. Under the in-text subject headings, any parallel passages are also noted. This is seen in the four Gospels, as well as Samuel, Kings, & Chronicles.

Hello brother. This was the Bible I found at goodwill for 2.99 with the name on the cover I mentioned in your video on how to remove the name from. It is the expanded edition with a leather cover from 1985 and in perfect condition. I look forward to making it my everyday Bible.

Amen!

It's a great Bible! I still have my Dad's 1978 NASB Open Bible. I just got the NIV Open Bible last week. This is my favorite study Bible as well. You mentioned a review. I'm gonna check it out too. I enjoy your videos.

Thanks for sharing!

😍 I have the Expanded edition from the 80s, and really love it! But I’ve always thought there should be more cross references! They have definitely added more, which is probably why they went to a center column. 😊

[@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa]

Amen!

[@boundbythebiblereview]

Please do a side by side Pros and cons comparison with this and the 85' expanded.

[@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa]

I’ll try

[@damarrbrown4915]

Which one is better between the Open Bible and Thompson chain ?

[@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa]

Tough call. Personal preference really

[@terencealbertmcbain8041]

Thompson Chain Reference Bible is better, in my opinion, I have this open bible in genuine leather.

I'm still confused three different doctors at hospital told him three different tells he got mad and left again. One said blood clots and another came in and said it wasn't that it was a narrowing in the his sinus cavity and another one said it wasn't that it was reactions from where he had covid or cancer or had his port put in. Dad got mad and left please continue to keep him in prayers he has refused to go anywhere else. I worry about him and wish he would go somewhere else thanks everyone for all your prayers love and concern we love you all!

This is another review. Title says content is on how to use it 😞

[@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa]

I tried...

[@BaptizedRidersMinistry]

@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa many people had to return this Bible (with the brown genuine leather) due to its excessive small font and its multitude of wrinkles pages. That was not mentioned. I wasted valuable time waiting to see if you had tips on using this Bible more effectively, and it was a let down. Not good. As Christian we are to guard our credibility so that people take our messages seriously. This video's title therefore should be titled differently. Perhaps "Second review". If people like myself get turned off at this deception, they will also be part of anti-christianity movements. Now I don't know how reliable are the other reviews on this channel. God bless you
