As a young minister, God has used Voddie to bless me richly. He's proof that the scripture is not devoid of deep intellectual engagement and how God uses those to conviction and convert souls.
I am not Good man but i love the Lord and can tell when a man of God is speaking!! Lord please have mercy on my sinful soul! Please pray for me my friends! I tend to judge people just to make myself feel better its hard for me not to look at females certain ways even when I try not to but i can feel that the mighty Lord is working on me.
Read 1 Peter 2:11. I will pray for you and pray for me also, for all things that can lead us astray. We are not immune to temptation and are rather a target if we do not resist the devil so that he will flee from us. Do not give him an opportunity. Remember, fleshly lusts will lead to bondage and wars against your soul.
Let Him work brother, let Him work. in Jesus name let Him work, Amen. And no man is good in the eyes of the Lord for we ALL have fallen seriously short of the glory of the Lord. He just needs a willing heart, and if you are willing, He is abundantly able to deliver you. Stay in the word, read EVERYDAY keep your mind stayed on Jesus. Take captive EVERY thought. He did it for me and still there's more work to do on me. But I'm at least out of that dark, wet, cold and lonely pit and can now see sun. Have faith in God and read the bible...if you can withstand the pull, God will pull you through. And look on TH-cam for SNSS...Saturday Night Sunday School, every Saturday Night, huge help. Stay prayed up brother, it'll be alright.
Thank you for posting this video. My wife and I spent 20+ years in a church that used phrases like " what is this passage saying to you" and " that's your interpretation". We have always been hungry to study the word of God but no longer trust what we once thought God's word said. This video, for a couple of old folks who never exceled in grammar, puts in in language that is easy to follow. The hard part will be to remember what a verb and noun look like lol. Again I thank you so much for posting this video.
Pastor Voddie is such a blessing to listen to. He is so inspiring and pushes us to delve deeper into our faith to get closer to Jesus. I thank God for him and genuine people of God like him who stand on the word of God unapologetically and radically telling it like it is, not sugarcoating it one bit. Thank you, Jesus, for giving us an anointed person like Pastor Voddie in this day and age bold for your word. I pray you bless him abundantly and cover him even more for your kingdom and for us, the Christian church.
Truth spoken, the Holy Spirit gives us wisdom in order to understand the word of God. Once for us, we did not understand until we were saved. But now we understand through wisdom given by the Holy Spirit.
Exactly what I have been searching for. Thank you man of God for this very necessary Video Your teachings on God’s word is so simple and clear. Stay Blessed Sir
At 37:02 Pastor Voddie mentions that he didn't have time to show how he breaks down verses by sentence diagrams. @hillview Baptist church can there be a sermon where Pastor Voddie literally shows us how he does this? I think it would be greatly beneficial.
This sermon has to be based off the book Grasping God’s Word by J. Scott Duvall and J. Daniel Hays. They talk about the 5 steps of the interpretive journey. It’s a great book and worthy of a great sermon.
Wow. I wish I could've attended this course. I want to be able to preach some day and Voddie must be one of the best of the best that I can imagine that you can learn from. Such a truth seeker. Greetings from Sweden.
How to study the Bible... ask God to give you correct understanding the spirit of truth the holy ghost. And don't rely on man so much in learning of the Father the Son and holyghost. Ask you will have seek you find knock it shall be opened.
This is primary, but not the sole option available to believers. But extensive bible study, research and findings on some commentaries help. Even though the Spirit is the primary teacher, we need to understand that we are not perfect and susceptible to false interpretations, which we may credit to the Holy Spirit.
That's almost assuming you think God would give you the correct interpretation and no one else. We are flawed people who could miss what is plain in scripture. Others can help us see what we have missed or been wrong about, but scripture must always be examined to see if the interpretation of any passage comes from scripture itself. There are many godly people who may disagree on a certain passage and so we must search out scripture and compare what is said and see if it is so. It would be arrogant to assume every interpretation you have would not be flawed because we are still sinful people until the day we are called home. God does not only give you the Spirit to discern His word. All of His children are guided by Him and therefore we can learn from others what God has revealed in His word.
Grasping Gods word is good resource for this message Goal when reading scripture is based off Two towns.

Thank you. These concerns are so very important because there is so much misunderstanding and misguided in churches around the world. God bless you and keep you steadfastly in His Truths.
Thank you pastor Voddie!! Finding truthful teachings today is dwindling. Even the catholic pope has lost his way. Pray for those who have lost their way in faith and truth by false teachings 🙏🏻
Billy Graham has written a book on How to Study the Bible, when he was young. I came by a copy when I was young. That little book was a treasure, lost in all my moving- . I am curious if your teaching is influenced by Graham since you are Baptist also. I love Bible study, it's the only thing worth putting in my head. Thank you Voddie for your unique way of sharing the knowledge, understanding and love of God.
As a reformed Baptist, Voddie probably gets very little influence from Graham. However, I’m sure he respected him as an evangelist and brother in Christ
Voddie I am so Glad God has shown you all this information about the Bible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:1-11 King James Version 14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
I feel the need to comment on this video. First, I’m reformed Baptist, at least for the most part 😂. I can’t help but think the vast majority of people would benefit from the niv or NLT for primary Bible reading/devotional reading etc. The disciples were unschooled and ordinary men, like most of us. Try explaining this study technique to a man with dirt floors. The scholar and serious Bible student like voddie (who also knows Greek and Hebrew) love the literal translations like esv and nasb. I’m thankful for knowledgeable men like voddie, however, all English translations tell you Jesus died for your sins and raised from the dead 3 days later. They all tell you that love fulfills the law. I spent most of my childhood with an nasb that I never read because I couldn’t understand it. I only toted it because it was “the most accurate”. Someone handed me an niv a few years back and I can’t put it down. It changed my spiritual life. I’ve read it hard cover to cover and understood the gospel it seemed for the first time. Sure there’s nuance in the nasb that you don’t get in the niv, but I was missing the main idea reading the nas! No harm intended toward voddie. Love his ministry and maybe the literal translation is best for his church. God bless all!
Repent, be baptised, get filled with the Holy Spirit, walk in Christ. Once you have received the Holy Spirit, you have the author of Scripture dwelling within you. What better way to read the Bible than through the eyes of God?
I use the Dake study Bible. Just because when it references a scripture to back something up it then leads to another scripture and so on. So you really get an in depth study on one scripture
I gain so much knowledge, understanding, and wisdom from God delivered through Voddie. I love listening to him and I love the fact that he never puts the focus on him, but rather on God. I used to listen to John MacArthur a lot, but since he excommunicated Eileen Gray from Grace Community Church publicly for not staying with her husband David Gray who was abusing her children (and he's now sitting in prison of whom John MacArthur still supports) I cannot listen to him any longer. I'm so glad that Voddie does not appear to have any skeletons/scandals. I'm going to have to go back and study what are verbs, pronouns, etc. It's been a long time since I was in school and I forget all the grammar rules 😂
Pastor Voddie Baucham is a gift from OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, HE HAS MULDED THIS MAN TO BE HIS SERVANT FOR BENFIT OF HIS CHILDREN, PRAISED IS THE MOST HIGH AND HOLY NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN ALL ETERNITY ✝️🙏❤️
I found myself buying a whole bunch of Bibles. I then realized that that I wasn't studying them. When I did study them, I was not looking at God's word so much. I wanted to sound smart more than I wanted to experience God. So, I gave a number of them away. I thought about which ones were the best in asking me questions. Answering those questions seemed to make me think. Sometimes the Spirit could come into my answers. One was a topical Bible, ehich can be found on the internet. It's much better in print. And I have a little text only NASB. It is God's Word and no interuptions.
Yeshua is in the temple in heaven keeping the Law, doing priestly duties. Hebrews is all about how Jesus has a permanent priesthood, what do priests do, it’s in Deuteronomy 33, and more in other places
This is the meat of Bible study I’ve been looking for & trying to explain to my adult son who is a new Christian. One Study Bible that is helpful to me is the Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible which puts scripture into the context of the time it was written & what it meant at the time.
I like the two village example. Often there are more than two though of you are reading a translation. The original text is written to a village, once you have a translation you introduce another village. Sound principles introduced.
The condition of our heart is what determines the way we receive the Word of God, not necessarily the methods or the teacher. The Parable of the Sower explains that… ““Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”” (Matthew 13:18-23 NIV)
We should read different versions of the bible and have a concordance handy when we study scripture. Most of us just "read" the bible instead of studying Elohim's holy word.
I'm currently 39 mins in, and so far, this seems to be an 'in more detail' explanation of what Robert Breaker does in his video sermons, looking at what's said to who and when.
I agree. A Bible with a strong s concordance and the Holy Spirit is sufficient. Without the Holy Spirit, guiding the 😂the effort, one can easily be led into error.
Dr Voddie, I always enjoy most of your teachings and courageous responses. I would like to ask you if you would consider speaking to David Daniels from Chick Publications. God bless you.
Voddie is speaking so much truth here its frightening, the simple truth of the matter is good biblical exegesis takes time, lots of studying and time, and historical seting is huge, and not just for the new testament times, as he mentioned genre too very important, as for study Bibles once again he hit a home run, its best to stay away from devotional bibles and go with factual or just expository bibles, and please stay away from any gender neutral bibles.
Here is some of what God told me 1Jhn.5.7 Mark 10.18 Daniel.2.22 Mat.12.40 Jhn.8.12 In the beginning, before there was a sun or moon, there was the Spirit of God ,the Voice of God, and something Good being the Light of the World, the Light of Life for three evenings and three mornings. Gen.12626¶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Peace
Thank you so much for this video. To be honest, as a Christian, I've taken verses (like that of Jeremiah 29:11) just like pastor Bauchman said. Consequently, there have been episodes where I get lost when comparing what The Book says to what I actually experience. However, there is an increasing desire to approach the Bible similarly to -the Baptist approach, if I may say such a thing- Obviously, many questions arise, but I would like to ask: Could you please direct me towards what resources are helpful or what training courses should be taken so I can adequately start those studies. I really appreciate your help in this issue. May God keep blessing you in the name of Jesus Christ.
1) The PRECIOUS TRUTH in attaining SALVATION/ETERNAL LIFE in the KINGDOM OF GOD are written in the HOLY BIBLE/KJV as TAUGHT and PREACHED by the GREATEST and WISEST TEACHER and PHILOSOPHER, and the ONLY PERFECT MAN who ever existed here on earth -- the LORD JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD. 2) The BIBLICAL/SPIRITUAL TRUTH can NEVER be learned in schools, theological or whatever schools, as the LORD JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD was NEVER a learned MAN in schools. HIS DISCIPLES learned from HIM which the DISCIPLES WROTE -- THE NEW TESTAMENT containing the REVELATION of the TRUTH written by the Old Testament PROPHETS. 2) Fact is, the greater the number of years spend by humans, especially men, in theological schools to study, the more they become as spiritual idiots that 1+1+1=1 or 1+1=1, can't comprehend simple grammar/singular and plural, and don't adhere and unresponsive to SOUND REASONING/LOGIC.
Based on poetic text earth can be flat... I am struggeling with some friends about how to read and aply The Scripture. (And their struggling with me 😅) Also what laws do we still need to keep... What can you eat? 🥓🐖 Endtime details... Headcovering... Herodus' easter (not passover) in Acts 12:4 I am still learning 📖 and love doing that 🎉 These advices are such a good resource. Thank you so much! Blessings from Cabo Verde 🌴
I'd say the best way to figure any of this out is maybe asking God about it first, and then if you still cannot interpret some verses within the Bible that can seem confusing, you may want to ask someone that has biblical knowledge about it (maybe a pastor) and see how they interpret it.
As far as eating goes you can eat anything . Go read romans 14 and I also think Colossians 2:16 (think but somewhere around there )you’ll read that you can pretty much eat anything . We are not under the law we are justified by faith in Christ not in keeping the law .
Talk about a timeless theological truth. The Sabbath was at creation, Explained to the Jews, Kept by Jesus and will be kept by us in the world made new !
1. Read Deuteronomy 2. Research that the Catholic Church added the Babylonian/Jewish books to the Israelites Torah and their “New Testament”. 3. Choose whom you will serve.
I like to ask this pastor a question if I can. To be saved do you think everyone needs to study the bible? Why I ask is back in time anywhere before 1900 hundreds people would go to churches and listen to their pastor and what ever they were taught was all they knew, most people didn't know how to read or write. So my question would be all those millions people back in history that couldn't read how were they saved if they didn't study the bible? ... And, yes I know one must believe in Jesus for salvation but I believe their a passage in the bible that state after you become a believer you must also act upon it meaning to tell others about the gospel of Christ
Pray a lot for me I was the victim of a lot of witchcraft and I have a lot of psychological problems depression anxiety etc I'm about to go crazy my name is André Gulherme and pray for my family and I'm suffering a lot with envy I need a lot of prayers and jenjum thank you for doing this for me
I love the content and thank you for sharing!! Is there another recording of this video? The way it cuts in and out is distracting and makes it hard to listen
Deut 6.4-6, Mark 12.28-42, John 17.3, John 20.17, Rom 15.6, Rom 16.27, I Cor 8.6, II Cor 11.31, I Tim 2.5, Rev 3.2, Rev 3.12, and many other scriptures. This is real bible study.
My hardest hurdle to studying is how much and what to study in a methodical manner. For example, do I just pick a book and start with a few verses at a time? Do I try and study the book as a whole? Do I just take a few verses, cross reference them with other parts of the Bible and historical writings? I find my self just reading from the beginning of the NT then to the OT and then back through the NT and then the OT over and over again, which is great but I haven't learned how to learn more efficiently and I'd like to take my knowledge to the next level. I have such a love for reading the Word but I want to bathe in it not just dip my hand in if that makes sense.
The importance of multiple translations should be replaced with instruction on using a concordance to understand the meaning of the infallible original text. Knowing how to do this is crucial in learning how to study the Bible. "Readability," isn't close to the importance of accuracy. Otherwise VB is great as always.
Love to listen to this Man of God share his knowledge love and compassion for Christ. What a true gift he is for all of us
Voddie is the man! 👍
VB🙌🏿MAY GOD BLESS HIM
Agreed!
Totally! 👍
Amen 🙏 🙏

None of us are good. That's why we need the blood of Jesus and the Grace of the Father.
Let Him work brother, let Him work. in Jesus name let Him work, Amen. And no man is good in the eyes of the Lord for we ALL have fallen seriously short of the glory of the Lord. He just needs a willing heart, and if you are willing, He is abundantly able to deliver you. Stay in the word, read EVERYDAY keep your mind stayed on Jesus. Take captive EVERY thought.

LORD I PRAY FOR BROTHER VODDIE, THANK YOU FOR SENDING US A TRUE MAN OF LORD AND PRINCIPAL
I'm blessed to have found a great teacher.
His study of the word is amazing ❤
Pastor Voddie is such a blessing to listen to. He is so inspiring and pushes us to delve deeper into our faith to get closer to Jesus.

He mentions the book towards the beginning
Thanks for mentioning this book and these authors. There are videos available here on YT from the book.
I found out after the fact that you have to be subscribed to the provider to see all but the 1st Intro video.
He said that.
Fear God , keep the commandments
This method is from the book Grasping God's Word by J Scott Duvall. A great read that helped me immensely
Assumption got us a media full of false, self centered teachings.
Wow. I wish I could've attended this course. I want to be able to preach some day and Voddie must be one of the best of the best that I can imagine that you can learn from. Such a truth seeker. Greetings from Sweden.
Jag håller med dig Rasmus 👏🏿
So much good information here! I will need to go back and re-listen to it and now I'm thinking get a new Bible so all my markings are the same 😁

Yes but also iron sharpens iron so do so with brothers in Christ. Many misinterpreted text due to thinking they understand when they dont

Your teachings are great. I find that an Exhaustive Strong's Concordance is a most useful resource. If using the KJV.
Thank you once again for another fabulous video. Blessings to you and your family! We are keeping your family in prayer.
I wish he would actually do the sentence diagram on a whiteboard so I could see it.
That's what Google and TH-cam are for. I'll have to look up how to diagram sentences as well. Re-learning never stops 😐
Great teacher, Great teaching!!!!!
The first question to ask when studying any Bible passage is, "Who is God in this passage?"
Repent, be baptised, get filled with the Holy Spirit, walk in Christ.
Once you have received the Holy Spirit, you have the author of Scripture dwelling within you.
What better way to read the Bible than through the eyes of God?
I highly recommend the book he mentioned at the beginning. It was one of my textbooks for my Bible college hermeneutics class.
So very helpful. Thank you Mr. Baucham
Great man of God. I generally disagree with most of what he says but he is a man of integrity. I pray for him and pray he continues to thrive.
Hahaha I was saying Application outloud when he asked hahaha !!! Love this teacher 😊
I use the Dake study Bible. Just because when it references a scripture to back something up it then leads to another scripture and so on. So you really get an in depth study on one scripture
So incredibly fruitful !!❤
I have the book he referenced
It helped me tremendously!
I gain so much knowledge, understanding, and wisdom from God delivered through Voddie. I love listening to him and I love the fact that he never puts the focus on him, but rather on God. I used to listen to John MacArthur a lot, but since he excommunicated Eileen Gray from Grace Community Church publicly for not staying with her husband David Gray who was abusing her children (and he's now sitting in prison of whom John MacArthur still supports) I cannot listen to him any longer. I'm so glad that Voddie does not appear to have any skeletons/scandals.
I'm going to have to go back and study what are verbs, pronouns, etc. It's been a long time since I was in school and I forget all the grammar rules 😂
Pastor Voddie Baucham is a gift from OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, HE HAS MULDED THIS MAN TO BE HIS SERVANT FOR BENFIT OF HIS CHILDREN, PRAISED IS THE MOST HIGH AND HOLY NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN ALL ETERNITY ✝️🙏❤️
claim it in Jesus name Amen
I found myself buying a whole bunch of Bibles. I then realized that that I wasn't studying them. When I did study them, I was not looking at God's word so much. I wanted to sound smart more than I wanted to experience God. So, I gave a number of them away. I thought about which ones were the best in asking me questions. Answering those questions seemed to make me think. Sometimes the Spirit could come into my answers. One was a topical Bible, ehich can be found on the internet. It's much better in print. And I have a little text only NASB. It is God's Word and no interuptions.
Yeshua is in the temple in heaven keeping the Law, doing priestly duties.
Hebrews is all about how Jesus has a permanent priesthood, what do priests do, it’s in Deuteronomy 33, and more in other places
Thank you. The law is eternal.
This is the meat of Bible study I’ve been looking for & trying to explain to my adult son who is a new Christian. One Study Bible that is helpful to me is the Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible which puts scripture into the context of the time it was written & what it meant at the time.
I like the two village example. Often there are more than two though of you are reading a translation. The original text is written to a village, once you have a translation you introduce another village. Sound principles introduced.
Holy Spirit !
Right! The Holy Spirit is the most important part of understanding scripture. He will guide us to the Truth (and the Way and the Life).
So happy I came across this! ❤❤thank you Voddie!!
I know I’ll be watching this several times. I want to learn these steps.
Amen! Praise God, and thank you for posting this video.
The condition of our heart is what determines the way we receive the Word of God, not necessarily the methods or the teacher. The Parable of the Sower explains that…
““Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”” (Matthew 13:18-23 NIV)
Acts 22:16 "and now why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized, washing away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord'
Words matter, especially when it comes to The Word of God.
Every word matters….I use the Young’s literal translation of Hebrew scripture and compare other translation. Young’s translation is my main resource.
Please post the full video. This looks like it comes in when it's already started.
Thankyou for this. Love Voddie. I hope to meet him one day
I loved this video, took notes through to the end and will definitely begin the application ❤
Thank you ❤
We should read different versions of the bible and have a concordance handy when we study scripture. Most of us just "read" the bible instead of studying Elohim's holy word.
I'm currently 39 mins in, and so far, this seems to be an 'in more detail' explanation of what Robert Breaker does in his video sermons, looking at what's said to who and when.
The insights Dr. Baucham shares are invaluable. May the Lord continue to bless you!
Joshua 1:8 is close to never mentioned by any pastor anywhere. And it is proof of Psalms 1.
Interpretive journey! Grasping GOD WORD
I agree. A Bible with a strong s concordance and the Holy Spirit is sufficient. Without the Holy Spirit, guiding the 😂the effort, one can easily be led into error.
Dr Voddie, I always enjoy most of your teachings and courageous responses. I would like to ask you if you would consider speaking to David Daniels from Chick Publications. God bless you.
Excellent!!!
Voddie is speaking so much truth here its frightening, the simple truth of the matter is good biblical exegesis takes time, lots of studying and time, and historical seting is huge, and not just for the new testament times, as he mentioned genre too very important, as for study Bibles once again he hit a home run, its best to stay away from devotional bibles and go with factual or just expository bibles, and please stay away from any gender neutral bibles.
*_God Bless_*
This was so helpful
Here is some of what God told me
1Jhn.5.7
Mark 10.18
Daniel.2.22
Mat.12.40
Jhn.8.12
In the beginning, before there was a sun or moon, there was the Spirit of God ,the Voice of God, and something Good being the Light of the World, the Light of Life for three evenings and three mornings.
Gen.12626¶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Peace
Beautiful.. Love this! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great teacher
42:00 things to look(not exhaustive)
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. To be honest, as a Christian, I've taken verses (like that of Jeremiah 29:11) just like pastor Bauchman said. Consequently, there have been episodes where I get lost when comparing what The Book says to what I actually experience. However, there is an increasing desire to approach the Bible similarly to -the Baptist approach, if I may say such a thing- Obviously, many questions arise, but I would like to ask: Could you please direct me towards what resources are helpful or what training courses should be taken so I can adequately start those studies. I really appreciate your help in this issue. May God keep blessing you in the name of Jesus Christ.
1) The PRECIOUS TRUTH in attaining SALVATION/ETERNAL LIFE in the KINGDOM OF GOD are written in the HOLY BIBLE/KJV as TAUGHT and PREACHED by the GREATEST and WISEST TEACHER and PHILOSOPHER, and the ONLY PERFECT MAN who ever existed here on earth -- the LORD JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD.
2) The BIBLICAL/SPIRITUAL TRUTH can NEVER be learned in schools, theological or whatever schools, as the LORD JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD was NEVER a learned MAN in schools. HIS DISCIPLES learned from HIM which the DISCIPLES WROTE -- THE NEW TESTAMENT containing the REVELATION of the TRUTH written by the Old Testament PROPHETS.
2) Fact is, the greater the number of years spend by humans, especially men, in theological schools to study, the more they become as spiritual idiots that 1+1+1=1 or 1+1=1, can't comprehend simple grammar/singular and plural, and don't adhere and unresponsive to SOUND REASONING/LOGIC.
Based on poetic text earth can be flat...
I am struggeling with some friends about how to read and aply The Scripture. (And their struggling with me 😅)
Also what laws do we still need to keep... What can you eat? 🥓🐖
Endtime details...
Headcovering...
Herodus' easter (not passover) in Acts 12:4
I am still learning 📖 and love doing that 🎉
These advices are such a good resource. Thank you so much!

I'd say the best way to figure any of this out is maybe asking God about it first, and then if you still cannot interpret some verses within the Bible that can seem confusing, you may want to ask someone that has biblical knowledge about it (maybe a pastor) and see how they interpret it.
I couldn't tell you the best method though, maybe ask God though since it is the best of the best options
As far as eating goes you can eat anything . Go read romans 14 and I also think Colossians 2:16 (think but somewhere around there )you’ll read that you can pretty much eat anything . We are not under the law we are justified by faith in Christ not in keeping the law .
Talk about a timeless theological truth. The Sabbath was at creation, Explained to the Jews, Kept by Jesus and will be kept by us in the world made new !
I am not surprised Voddie doesn't use a study bible. Ray, RC and Jmac are almost his contemporary🤷♀️
1. Read Deuteronomy 2. Research that the Catholic Church added the Babylonian/Jewish books to the Israelites Torah and their “New Testament”. 3. Choose whom you will serve.
9:08 Amen!
Please come to Uganda ❤
I like to ask this pastor a question if I can. To be saved do you think everyone needs to study the bible? Why I ask is back in time anywhere before 1900 hundreds people would go to churches and listen to their pastor and what ever they were taught was all they knew, most people didn't know how to read or write. So my question would be all those millions people back in history that couldn't read how were they saved if they didn't study the bible? ... And, yes I know one must believe in Jesus for salvation but I believe their a passage in the bible that state after you become a believer you must also act upon it meaning to tell others about the gospel of Christ
I love this teaching, though even though I don’t agree with perform theology. As it’s only been around for about 500 years max
Perform theology or reform theology?
Pray a lot for me I was the victim of a lot of witchcraft and I have a lot of psychological problems depression anxiety etc I'm about to go crazy my name is André Gulherme and pray for my family and I'm suffering a lot with envy I need a lot of prayers and jenjum
thank you for doing this for me
Praying for you.and your family.❤
I love the content and thank you for sharing!! Is there another recording of this video? The way it cuts in and out is distracting and makes it hard to listen
Would love to help anyone out if I could also this guy is great I have learned alot also
Ow how I wished I payed attention to my English class…😢
I find that the Pastors that I want to hear the most from are somewhere else.
The NIV removes whole scripture
Can someone post the 5 steps on here??
Good teaching, but I would have liked more specific, clarifying examples.
cause and effect
conjunctions
verb
comparison
lists
figures of speech
what actions taking place
pronouns
how that make you feel
how it make you think
Deut 6.4-6, Mark 12.28-42, John 17.3, John 20.17, Rom 15.6, Rom 16.27, I Cor 8.6, II Cor 11.31, I Tim 2.5, Rev 3.2, Rev 3.12, and many other scriptures. This is real bible study.
My hardest hurdle to studying is how much and what to study in a methodical manner. For example, do I just pick a book and start with a few verses at a time? Do I try and study the book as a whole? Do I just take a few verses, cross reference them with other parts of the Bible and historical writings? I find my self just reading from the beginning of the NT then to the OT and then back through the NT and then the OT over and over again, which is great but I haven't learned how to learn more efficiently and I'd like to take my knowledge to the next level. I have such a love for reading the Word but I want to bathe in it not just dip my hand in if that makes sense.
That would clearly explain why the Sadducees and Pharisees were so hard on Jesus.
The importance of multiple translations should be replaced with instruction on using a concordance to understand the meaning of the infallible original text. Knowing how to do this is crucial in learning how to study the Bible. "Readability," isn't close to the importance of accuracy. Otherwise VB is great as always.
Amen
