@@marrymarry699 I didn’t say “I don’t expect to see African Americans who love God” I said “I’m grateful to God that there are still Americans who love God” I referred to a nationality, I didn’t refer to a race. And it’s a kind compliment. There’re always gonna be stereotypes about every race, including the African race where I belong and the last thing I’d want to do is personalize it or victimize myself 😂 We came to this channel because we’re Christians, maybe we should just stick to that 😁

6:02 Slander! 😂 Poor Tamar. I think you can definitely fairly reach the lessons you mentioned taking away from this chapter, but Genesis 38:26 literally has Judah saying Tamar has been more righteous than he as he had withheld his son from her. She acted not out of animosity, but out of desperation: Judah was misusing a widow by purposefully denying her the ability to have children or the right to remarry outside of his family. Tamar had been married to Judah's eldest son. As the wife of the eldest son, she was in a great place financially as well as socially: it was expected that her husband would inherit most of his father's holdings upon the latter's death and she would be taken care of even into her old age. Even if she were to outlive her husband, his holdings would go to their own sons, who would take care of their mother in her old age. Unfortunately, she became a childless widow truth no fault of her own. She was married to her brother-in-law, Onan, to ensure she'd be cared for and so that she wouldn't lose her place in the family: still the wife of the eldest (surviving) son of Judah and her children would be the primary heirs of the family holdings. Unfortunately, her new husband refused to give her children as he knew the children she bore would be his elder brother's children legally. When his brother had died without heirs, Onan became the principal heir of Judah; if he impregnated Tamar, then he would drop further down the line of inheritance again. This didn't stop him from using Tamar physically, even as he actively worked to prevent her getting pregnant. For insulting Tamar in this way and for denying her both the comfort of children and financial stability, God punished him. Judah then promised Tamar that she would still be taken care of: he would marry her to his remaining heir and youngest son once his son was old enough to marry. In the meantime, he sent her away to be a financial burden in her father's household. Time passed and though Judah's heir was old enough to marry, Tamar wasn't married to him nor was she given leave to marry anyone else: she was being left to grow old in her father's household with no guarantee that she'd ever have security into her old age. Why did Tamar trick Judah rather than Shelah, Judah's last living son? Pure speculation: it could be that she thought Judah was most responsible for her current life circumstances, but I think it's most likely she found the thought of having relations with such a young person as Shelah to be repugnant. It's possible that Tamar had animosity towards Judah, but I think she was just trying to become a mother and to regain her financial future and her social standing (the mother to heirs instead of an unwanted, burdensome widow). Enjoyed your video! I agree with you that the SOAP method isn't for me: way too much of a slog. Thanks for sharing the questions you brought up: I'll have to try them during my next study!
Hi yall i did this(2 times already) bible study and let me yallll! Its so good! Girl its easy ane fun! I recommend everyone to do it! Peace and love🤍✨️🤝🏿
This video has blessed my life. Reading my bible was quite daunting honestly but this approach makes it alot more easier and gives better understanding. I have just applied it to my study time and it made a difference and i trust to continue. There is nothing like reading your bible and leaving with something to ponder about, i think i have found it. Thank you so much Amera, blessings.
Yes I was about to comment this! I listen to one or two when I'm laying down to sleep. This is why I love videos like this one too because it gives me more applicable methods and then deep dive with Kanoe
Thank you for the questions. I will enrich my personal bible study sessions with these questions. God is moving. I will also share with my Bible Study group.
God bless you! I appreciate this, the writing for a long time was really putting me off doing my bible study- making it not so enjoyable when it should be 😭 ❤
i thank you for this !! this makes me excited to dive into the Word of God & not view Bible study + reading as a chore or something that takes a long time & all i’m doing is writing, but instead of really actively learning who my God is & deepening our relationship, my faith, and love for his word & his will to be done in my life. thank you sm :) !!
Yesssss! Thissss is the point of the video! Looking at reading the word as getting to discover God and becoming enthralled by what you learn! It’s so much deeper than memorizing or checking off a box. Love this comment.
Excellent questions! I'm reading the Book of Acts as my pick for the beginning of the year and have been stopping to make notes. Will try engaging this way starting tomorrow and see how it works for me! Happy New Year to all here.🎉🎉🎉 GLORY to GOD in the Highest and Peace on earth to us His beloved children whom He came to save❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️🙏💙🙏
It is such an awesome blessing to have a child that loves and commits to The Father. Thank you for giving this comfort to your parents, may the Almighty Father continue to prosper you in Him in Jesus name, amen.
Thank you for sharing. I have read the entire bible, but now I would like to read, understand and be able to find God in his words and having a personal relationship with him, rather than sourriuding the bible around me as you mention. But I don't know how to do that. So I appreciate you taking the time to do this. May God blessings be upon you.
Hey love just tuned into the video, excited to hear your tips what Bible version do you use as I’ve been diving more into Bible study I currently have the ESV translation but considering CSB. Thanks in advance 🖤
One of the things that completely changed my understanding when reading the Bible was learning who the real genetic descendants of the ancient Israelites are. When you know who the Father’s Chosen people are it’s a light bulb moment. The Bible makes it very clear who the people are but unfortunately when you have been taught wrong all of your life, you don’t see it even when you read it.
Wow thank you so much for this!! I used to do the SOAP method too but it took so much of my time that I felt like it was a choir and it wasn’t fun to do Bible studies anymore. I’m really excited to try this out!
Thank you for this video. I have been struggling with reading and studying the Bible. The SOAP method didn't resonate with me at all. The other ones out there did nothing for me also. I am going to try this out and see where it takes me. I wrote out the questions in my notebook so I don't forget them.
this is so good!! i usually do bible study chapter by chapter do you think these questions would help with that? also you should do “bible study with me” videos!! 💕💕
Of course! There are translations of the Bible that are less formal, there are videos on TH-cam that break down chapters to understand easier, and the Holy Spirit is needed when reading the Bible whether you have a vast vocabulary or not! God will most definitely help you
You may want to try reading the New International Reader's Version of the Bible. It is written on a third grade reading level. It's generally great, but sometimes the language is so simple that shades of meaning are lost. It would make a great primary reading Bible or a great tool to use to check that you understood a verse if you like other translations better.
Would it be helpful for me to read a chapter of a story and do this or a whole story? For example, should I read the entire book of Genesis and then do this method, or would I break it down into smaller sections?
You could do it any way that feels most conducive to you learning. Personally I did this after every chapter I read, not after the entire book, but some chapters I find myself only able to answer 2 or 3 of the questions so you can definitely combine some and answer the questions for multiple chapters
Hey I know this video was a while ago but I want to start using this method and have some questions which book should I start with or should I just go to beginning?Day or night should I do Bible studies and right now I pray in the mornings and read my Bible then at 7pm I do devotional should I do Bible study before or after my devotionals
Use this on whatever book you’re reading it can be done on any chapter. I started with the gospels but there’s no rules to the Bible. I like to save deep studies for last but this is just a preference. It honestly sounds like you have a good routine going don’t put too much pressure on it and play with your schedule to see what u can consistently stick to💕
Read the Bible but STUDY Christ! God did not send us a book. He sent us his son and he commanded that we listen to. (Luke 9:35) Be a Disciple (student) of Christ. Not a student (disciple) of a book. This is one of the greatest deceptions Satan has perpetrated: Getting individuals to place a book (that men named) in a holy position and elevate it above the ONE God sent to us. Even on this video, your title does not mention Jesus, it mentions the Bible. Jesus said that he is our Teacher. (Not a book) (Matt 23:8 and Matt 23:10) If he is our Teacher, then we are to be his students (disciples). Yet, most speak of being students of the Bible. No book by any name should be elevated above our ONLY Teacher.
