Okay so I've been a silent watcher for ages now, I think I'm going to break that habit. This video was awesome. Wise, concise and so easy to understand! Loves this!
Jon, thank you for making this video. This is exactly the kind of boldness the world needs to see from Christians. You are being a great example and a wonderful teacher and starter of discussions. I appreciate you!
I would just like to say how much I love your sermons. I love how you get really into it and how you try to explain your points in a nice calming voice. thank you for sharing this with us. :)
I actually agree with everything you said. Yeah it possibly is not 100% factual, but I don't think you said anything that disrespected God or made him upset. Many people do believe that the Bible is a rule book so it's good that you made this video to dispel of some of the myth/rumors that you hear. Lastly, we love you too. Continue preaching the word of God and God bless!
OMG!! I am so happy to find a video that it really explains what is the Bible!! I think I had the wrong perception of the Bible for years!! now I am excited to read again God´s Word!
I agree with you for every point! Furthermore I think that the Bible is different for everyonr who read it, because of we have different personal story and we lived our live by many differents ways. And that's why the Bible is more than a book, that's why the Bible is so precious! Hope you'll understand, my english is bad because I'm french... Thank you so much, I really admire your videos and how you are!
I don't think that the Bible is different to all who read it. It's message is definitely portrayed in different ways, people understand it differently because of how much God reveals to them. But the Bible is definitely the same book to all. We do all understand it differently because of how we live our lives- what messages we listen to, what church we go to, what material we read. Is this what you meant when saying that it's different to all people? By the way, your English is very good! It is my second language as well so I totally understand how you feel:)
I feel that the Bible is different for all as all of us will take different things out of it depending on the situation of life that we are in. It still has the same things in it but reading the same single verse each day may give you 5 different pieces of wisdom for example
This was a really awesome video! Jon, I love the way you speak about Scripture! It's nice to have something so bold out there for people to listen to, as opposed to something sugar-coated. I love this channel so much! KEEP BEING AWESOME! GOD BLESS!!
This is what I wake up to on Saturday. Thanks for starting this conversation between me and God, I hadn't thought of this before, especially defending the bible. Thanks Jon great work, me and my Maker got some discussing and learning from Him scheduled tonight :) Have a super day
Hey! I really want tell you o believes in Jesus did died for us! And he healed me ears to opened!! I'm born deaf I can hear but sometimes I'm not faithful very much. But Im keep trying closer God. Sometimes I give up then I closer again. I was prayed he already forgive my sins. Fanilly I closer God everyday . There no more give up again. I'm so happy I'm closer to God and praise God. I'm so proud of my self I did Baptisted 😃
Hey Jon. Just stumbled on your video and I want to commend you on this video. I am currently working on my Master of Divinity and got my undergrad degree in Bible. I appreciated everything you said! Good arguments and observations!
Another thing I believe the Bible is: Inspiration. As a poet, artist and musician, I find inspiring stories all throughout the Bible and it has shaped me as a better artist. The Bible is also engaging. I love the Bible so much. I just got finished reading Isaiah a few days ago. What an amazing book. If you feel like being inspired, I recommend the read. :-)
Hi there! I know it’s almost 2020 now but I recently discovered your TH-cam channel and you are awesome!! You are bringing glory to God and also helping many people (ahem, me) have a deeper understanding of their/my faith. Thank you!!!
For me, this video wasn't so much as controversial but informative. It was like a revelation. What you said makes sense. I think this video put a few people at ease, to know that the Bible is not meant to be "strict" but it is meant to lead, teach, and inspire. Great video. I enjoyed!
With all that has been said, I believe the Bible is a glimpse of God's mind- what he thinks, how He looks at things, what He feels, His desire for a close relationship with us. However, the Bible does teach us that His ways are higher than our ways and that His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, so to me, my interpretation of the Bible is a portrait of God in the simplest way possible so that we don't complicate anything or make of the things in it too religious.
About the rules: God is like your parents, he and them make rules because they know what's best for you. God and your parents don't make rules just so they can tell you what to do. And if you break the rules, God and your parents will not disown you. They both still love you no matter what.
Where you say there are so many inaccuracies in the Bible because so many different people wrote the Bible to get their perspective across, you make a great point. They could have been writing their perspective to show us that those rules or laws don't apply in that time period. Thus showing us that the Bible is not a rule book, or an instruction manual. It could be their way (or I guess God's way) of showing us how the Bible effects us, and how to use it. For example, all the books Paul wrote in the New Testament show us how Paul interpreted the Bible. It could be that the Bible can be interpreted in multiple ways not just one in particular.
I am new to your videos. I would love to hear you go into more detail about the first "isn't". Please? That being said I agree with the things your saying, I just don't grasp what you mean by that first "isn't". You are very interesting. I love the perspective, discussion you bring to the table. :)
I consider the bible a love story. It's the love God feels for his people, and the love the people return and the absence of love in others. For Jesus said "love God above all else, and love you neighbors as you love yourself."
I agree with some of the main message you have portrayed here but I also disagree with some of the ways you said things. Before that discussion I do want to say that I have REALLY enjoyed your work and you have had me opening my bible and highlighting and really diving in. I do have a question for you. Have you ever done any research into the particular translation you chose to read from?
Jon and the good folks at Anima, Very good stuff in this! So many people I know have used the bible(myself included) in our own little ways to defend our reasoning for things and ideals. Pointing to Jesus remains through it all and im thankful for this reminder yall recorded. Keep up the good work! God bless! Romans 1:16 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,[a] for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.
JON YOU ARE A BLESSED YOUNG MAN!!!WISE,TALENTED AND GOD-FEARING!!! I agree with everything expect What the bible is not:The Bible is not a historical textbook.
Dude I tried to define it to my colleagues and had trouble doing so and wondered why for a long time. I tried to give it a definition even more afterwards to myself to see if i can make sense out of it but to of no avail. I really agree with you now- as it is clear to see, that i was actually trying to define the LIVING word of God. I mean, i would be pretty upset if my life and even just a few experiences that i lived through defined me as a whole. Or if through one impression- i was Judged by another person. I definitely am not the guy to quote verses all the time nor am i spiritually jacked diesel but bear with me on this half ass interpretation of a verse God revealed to me: God said through Jesus- when JC was at dinner i think- that when He left- God would give us the Holy Spirit to lead us to Him. So that word^ kinda adds it all up for me. It makes more sense now with the way you explained it. I failed to explain it because i am not the person to give it definition- The Holy Spirit gives us the true PERSONAL meaning in order for us to individually understand how to strengthen our own relationship with God. That being said- lol- you will really excommunicate me, The bible is like a phone from God into the world for each and every one of us. Some may have the best signal while others like me are just lost in a tunnel- sounds depressing lol Anyways, thanks man ill check out more of your videos for sure. God bless everyone - peace.
This was amazing. You're a great teacher! I especially loved the point about "offensive" v. "defensive." What do you say to someone who says that the Bible has 125+ versions? They try to use that as a point that the Bible isn't valid BECAUSE there are so many versions.
"What do you say to someone who says that the Bible has 125+ version" - I say that God can give revelation through all 125 versions.and if they are using that as an excuse to keep from starting with a version, to start somewhere, then they aren't serious about taking this journey and you should do as directed in Matthew 10:14 and just dust your feet off and move on to the next town. Remember those without the spirit of God will not be able to understand that which is of God (1 Cor 2:14) because they are spiritually discerned, and much of the teachings in scripture is given by the Holy Spirit. I take no offense when others don't get what I have been given and just move on to those our Father truly desires for me to meet. Love to talk more and if you're interested, check me out on Facebook (Ken Etter, LaGrange, KY)
I agree with what jon has said completely but i also feel the bible is a love story about Gods love for us and how his grace is undeserved,unmeritted. His love for us is awesome u can see it thru the bible
This video reminds me of the one by Jefferson Bethke about how to view the bible and to be honest, I don't understand the point in limiting the bible in this way...the bible is all of those things but I think the trick is to know when and how to use it in each of these ways...maybe a video like that would have been more helpful.

In your opinion is the Bible an authoritative document? The reason I ask is because in my introduction to the Bible class here at school the first online discussion asked us if we thought the Bible was an authoritative document. Everyone said yes but me. So now I'm curious as to what is the opinion of Jon Jorgenson and the Anima team.
I agree with everything point, but I think i misinterpret what you said about the instruction or rule book. I actually do think that one of the things the Bible is a rule book o instruction manual, but not as an angry dictator's rule book that if you don't do them, god will strike you down with lighting. No, I think these rules are like teaching or rules from an loving parent. You could actually take every single "rule that is written in the bible, and apply consequences if you brake them, and I'll bet you that you will come up with the conclusion that living your life by those rules, you life a better life. But what is even better, the same way you will get along with your loving parent if you listen to them, imagen have God as the loving parent, that because you showed respect and love for him by doing your best to live by his teaching, you will develop a happy relationship with the almighty, he will be there for you, he will confort you, he will protect you and best of all, like Christ said "if you abby by this mandate, you will be my friend". So basiclly all you have to do is listen and live a better life and you'll have God as a parent and Jesus as your friend? and the icing on the cake is that to sign up all you have to do is believe. Awesome work love your Ideas, keep it up!! and God Bless you all.

I think you have alot of wisdom (God's wisdom) although I do not fully agree with the bible being a story book, although it tells some particullar stories, I think it should not be loked at as a story book, I've heard people compare the bible to other story books like HarryPotter and so on and that is only because they look at the Bible as a story...
we are not going your excommunication. Hihihihi :-) We love you. I found a nice video. The Bible is the truth and the love letter from Daddy God and Jesus to us. It lives and moves.
BOOK RECOMMENDATION!! You guys all should read "Finding Home - A Parable of Kingdom Life" by Brad Huebert, it is such a great book and it totally changed my way of thinking!! God bless
I am actually curious as why there is a new testament? Was it a revision of the old which most people I know says? and if yes then who wrote it and when? hmpf ??
Cheese Cake Apron Irish I'd also like to add that the New Testament both perfectly fulfills the prophesies of the Old Testament, but also frees us from the Mosaic Law that had been put in place. Because of Jesus, all can enjoy and have a relationship with God, regardless of whether they are physical descendants of Abraham.
Arpon Irish Old Testament talked about the coming messiah, Jesus. The New Testament is jesus' life, death, and resurrection and tells us how the church grew, how to live the Christian life and information about jesus' 2nd coming
so, question then. Have you ever asked yourself if this book of words is alive over ALL the copyrights of what original bible? the difference and diversity of multiple different languages of the bible is unique but how many bibles have you read in what different languages? i have read very little in KJV, NIV, and have looked at a Russian bible and a bible written in Hebrew. What I am stating my trouble is, which is believing the age of the book of the copyritten version of which original book? a conversation can be meant in many versions, so do you beileve it all comes down to one.
Hey Krysta. It's not paper and ink that make the Bible come alive; it's the Holy Spirit within us guiding us as we read. The reason why we have so many translations (English ones in this case) is because the English language is always evolving and for making it easier to understand (children's version, etc.). I don't believe it all comes down to one. Jesus is Lord, and you'll find the truth of the Gospel across versions.
Okay so I've been a silent watcher for ages now, I think I'm going to break that habit. This video was awesome. Wise, concise and so easy to understand! Loves this!
I¨m 64 year old man ( Jouko) from Finland and just wanted to say" God bless you Jon"
A couple of things I know for sure. 1. The Lord gave us this book because He loves us. 2. You can read it 1000 times and still learn something new. :)
Shelly Bogensberger I so agree with you!
Shelly-Lynn Bogensberger I doubt people have read all of books in bible 1,000 times especially these modern years
Shelly-Lynn Bogensberger real talk with number 2
That’s some great stuff!

I usually never comment but this video was very interesting, in a good way. The Bible to me brings me Jesus which means peace to my mind. I love it.

This is an interesting perspective. I always watch your videos with an open mind and im glad I did with this one.
Bro... I have no idea how you do it. But you always teach me something different. Thanks!!!!
This is what I wake up to on Saturday. Thanks for starting this conversation between me and God, I hadn't thought of this before, especially defending the bible. Thanks Jon great work, me and my Maker got some discussing and learning from Him scheduled tonight :) Have a super day
thank you Jon and all of TheAnimaSeries for your boldness and for this video and all of you other inspirational videos . Thank you! :D
The bible is like a cradle that holds the word of God who is Jesus.
The bible is like a mirror that reflects who I am, a sinner.
--great video Jon.
Hey! I really want tell you o believes in Jesus did died for us! And he healed me ears to opened!! I'm born deaf I can hear but sometimes I'm not faithful very much. But Im keep trying closer God.

Love it. Thanks for clearing it out for us. God bless you Anima series

got way more than i expected out of this so blessed thank you!

This video is so straight forward and pointed out on how we should really use our bibles.
About the rules: God is like your parents, he and them make rules because they know what's best for you. God and your parents don't make rules just so they can tell you what to do. And if you break the rules, God and your parents will not disown you. They both still love you no matter what.
I feel like yes there are rules that God wants us to obey! But not the WHOLE bible itself is just a list of rules! Does that make more sense?
Where you say there are so many inaccuracies in the Bible because so many different people wrote the Bible to get their perspective across, you make a great point.

Awesome video! Loved it😊
Good Job my friend!
This was great! Thank you
Love love love.....perfect description

I consider the bible a love story. It's the love God feels for his people, and the love the people return and the absence of love in others. For Jesus said "love God above all else, and love you neighbors as you love yourself."
Finally Something Different God loves us so much that He send His only son to die for our sins and save us and go to heaven with him
It's funny, I wanted to click away at least twice, but, you told me to stay and I did. And I'm glad.
The Bible isn't a bag of chex mix. You can't just take out the pieces you like and leave the rest that you don't.
I agree with some of the main message you have portrayed here but I also disagree with some of the ways you said things. Before that discussion I do want to say that I have REALLY enjoyed your work and you have had me opening my bible and highlighting and really diving in. I do have a question for you. Have you ever done any research into the particular translation you chose to read from?
Jon and the good folks at Anima,

That was a great video
Love it ! :)
Good one
God bless you
This video reminds me of the one by Jefferson Bethke about how to view the bible and to be honest, I don't understand the point in limiting the bible in this way...the bible is all of those things but I think the trick is to know when and how to use it in each of these ways...maybe a video like that would have been more helpful.

1) Ask in prayer that God is there to guide you in every single time you start to read the bible.
2) You have gone through all the verses of a topic and see clearly the big picture and how each verses were woven together.

Hi, I was just wondering if you happened to have like a typed out version of what you say in this video. I'm writing a research paper and this video would be an excellent source to use for my stance in it. If you don't, I could always go through and do it myself but it would be a great blessing and a time saver if you already had one handy and kindly emailed it to me. Your video will definitely be MLA cited so all right remain with you. I will not claim any of it as my work. Thanks so much. Reply if you would like me to give you my email (:
God bless you ♡♡♡♡♡♡.
Go for it! Thanks for watching!
Its not a historical book, yet it serves as a historical text to validate many things in history. Then the question is, is it or is it not? :)
I used this video on Facebook. On a
Christian Facebook group. It was rejected as heretical. Which is disappointing .
I think you have alot of wisdom (God's wisdom) although I do not fully agree with the bible being a story book, although it tells some particullar stories, I think it should not be loked at as a story book, I've heard people compare the bible to other story books like HarryPotter and so on and that is only because they look at the Bible as a story...
we are not going your excommunication. Hihihihi :-) We love you. I found a nice video. The Bible is the truth and the love letter from Daddy God and Jesus to us. It lives and moves.
BOOK RECOMMENDATION!!
You guys all should read "Finding Home - A Parable of Kingdom Life" by Brad Huebert, it is such a great book and it totally changed my way of thinking!! God bless
"The bible is alive" AMEN
Who ever loves Saint Paul, the apostle of Jesus and author of some of the books like Corinthians and romans?
I agree with u actually bible is my best friend.. :-) :-)
this video is really helpeful and i learned a lot
I am actually curious as why there is a new testament? Was it a revision of the old which most people I know says? and if yes then who wrote it and when? hmpf ??
Arpon Irish its the fulfilment of the old testament, meaning it tells of the coming king and redeemer Jesus Christ☺
Cheese Cake Apron Irish I'd also like to add that the New Testament both perfectly fulfills the prophesies of the Old Testament, but also frees us from the Mosaic Law that had been put in place. Because of Jesus, all can enjoy and have a relationship with God, regardless of whether they are physical descendants of Abraham.
Arpon Irish Old Testament talked about the coming messiah, Jesus. The New Testament is jesus' life, death, and resurrection and tells us how the church grew, how to live the Christian life and information about jesus' 2nd coming
Arpon Irish Old testament= Sin breaking of laws setting up of laws showing the need of a savior. New Testament= The Savior
The Bible is a love letter from God :)
so, question then. Have you ever asked yourself if this book of words is alive over ALL the copyrights of what original bible? the difference and diversity of multiple different languages of the bible is unique but how many bibles have you read in what different languages? i have read very little in KJV, NIV, and have looked at a Russian bible and a bible written in Hebrew. What I am stating my trouble is, which is believing the age of the book of the copyritten version of which original book? a conversation can be meant in many versions, so do you beileve it all comes down to one.
Hey Krysta. It's not paper and ink that make the Bible come alive; it's the Holy Spirit within us guiding us as we read. The reason why we have so many translations (English ones in this case) is because the English language is always evolving and for making it easier to understand (children's version, etc.). I don't believe it all comes down to one. Jesus is Lord, and you'll find the truth of the Gospel across versions.
