Video

This video is wonderful. This is the kind of Bible editions commentary and exploration that I need to make informed decisions.

Hold on. "The Message" is not a Bible, it is a paraphrase. This is shockingly ridiculous to find it listed there. Edit: I misunderstood the layout. My apologies.

She is on the right track. Wait until you see what the church is up to...

Listen to her various interviews. Several her panelists were and are openly endorsing Christian Nationalist policies such the criminalization and even execution of homosexuals in nations like Uganda. Many Churches in the U.S. directly fund these sort of movements. Please look this up and don't take my word. If this is what you actually believe in and endorse than so be it. But if you oppose killing people for being gay please understand who and what you are allying yourself with.

According to a 2012 UN report, the narcotics trafficking industry world wide is worth an estimated $32 trillion dollars. You can't stuff that amount of money into a mattress. It's being laundered through banks and then through liberal non-profits into our schools, governments and businesses. Do we want to be naive that the people working in the shadows won't try to move our churches in the same way? They are. Look who she names as the organizations funding efforts to move churches in a woke/gay affirming direction. Then, look at what those organizations are doing to promote the woke agenda in other areas of our society. We're in trouble. But praise Jesus that all means he's coming soon!

I wonder how much money she has made so far? Isn’t she for sale?

None are any good. They are tainted with Calvanism! Run from both!

I find it ironic that she works for the daily wire then defames some godly men and when people confront her she asks them to read (ie buy) the book. Talk about selling out. I wasn't sure of this lady before she slandered Gavin Ortlund, now I'm definitely not a fan. I would probably agree with some of her conclusions and I definitely disagree with Ortlund on climate change but we have enough voices on the extreme fringe right now and the church is losing the next generation because of it. How about a book called "Loving your enemies. How to stay true to Christ and reach the lost." That's a book worth writing and reading.

The ESV is corrupt. Read the beginning pages. They claim that they preserved the orthodox doctrines in the ESV. This means that whatever doctrines the translators believe to be orthodox is written into the translations. This is heresy. You translate without any biases for a pure translation. Let the Holy Spirit teach you - not man and not the translators. In the beginning of the ESB Bibles they even state that they have a commitment to God's word and to "historic Christian Orthodoxy." This is under the heading of "Publishing Team." Under the heading "To God's Honor and Praise." "So to our triune God" (the trinity is purposely written into the ESV). This is heresy. I will not allow the ESV translators to influence what the Holy Spirit is teaching me and neither should you. If you want to know if the trinity is true just read John 17:3 and Jesus will state that the Father is the only true God. 1 Timothy 2:5 - "For there is only one God and one mediator between God and men - the man Christ Jesus." Every pastor who uses scripture to try to teach the trinity takes the scripture out of context and reads the trinity into the scripture.

You need to have janet mefferd on your channel and ask her about the book, because many of the things in the book she was actually writing about in real time. She is also a real journalist.

At least five independent reviewers have verified. First, Samuel James documents a list of factual errors that becomes tedious by its length. He asks, “Should we conclude that the errors, mischaracterizations, and inconsistencies in Shepherds for Sale are intentional lies in order to sway readers and enrich the author?” He wants to be more charitable. Second, Jonathan David, in “In Defense of Gavin Ortlund,” examined Basham’s descriptions of what Ortlund wrote and concluded she “egregiously misrepresent[s]” him. Then, Chris Date, of “Theopologetics,” examined Basham’s claims, in a 93 minute video “Gavin Ortlund Not For Sale: An Appeal to Megan Basham,” and concluded “Megan blatantly and very badly misrepresents what Ortlund says” (1:22.15). Fourth, Warren Cole Smith of Ministry Watch, in “Which Shepherds Are For Sale?” (The Dispatch), documented numerous cases of Basham’s journalistic malpractice in the book and noted, “If we can’t trust her with the basic facts, why should we trust her with the interpretation of these facts?” He concluded that her book was “propaganda.” Finally, peace-making Christian apologist Neil Shenvi, after comparing - with exact quotes and screen-shots -- Basham’s claims of what people wrote with what they really wrote, came to the verdict, "she is an unreliable interpreter." Unlike Basham, Shenvi had the receipts.

I am an SBC church member for 30 years. I wanted to like this book. But there are 2 aspects that bother me. 1. The title is too inflammatory to then choose to include so many shepherds who are not for sale. The fine print in the intro don't overcome this. 2. Chris Dale clearly agowed that she twisted the quoted phrases from Gavin Ortland to apply to people he did not apply them to. Basham has had multiple opportunities to repent of her clear and undeniable sin. Yet she chooses not to. Her pride and personal animosity towards Gavin seem to be a driving force in this.

I think Megan Basham overreaches her csse, but I also don't think she's wrong about many (not all) SBC churches (and by extension similar conservative evangelical churches in general). I think William Dembski, the famous or infamous intelligent design advocate with two PhDs (e.g. specified complexity), has a fair and intelligent take on Basham's book over on his Substack. I don't entiely agree with Dembski but his post on Basham is worth reading.

You can keep both of them. We already have the NKJV and NASB '95. We don't need another English Version.

Hi I’m new to reformed teaching and go to a reformed baptist church which is amazing, what’s the very first book to get into for basics but not too hard to read - thanks!

I wish to make mention of the ESV Prayer Bible which places prayers by beliebers and scholars throughout church history at the text they are praying about. This helps me in my Bible study and prayer.

I've just ordered Fount of Heaven 😊. Warm regards, Barry

Brother, excellent stuff. I love all that you do. I have a copy of Piercing Heaven (2019). Yes, it has a ribbon marker. I need those others in the series 😊. God bless, Barry (UK)

NEITHER!

Great explanation. Thank you. * I have the LSB because I wanted all the word for word versions. ( I hope no one publishes any more, as I'm going broke)

ESV= Easy Satanic Version LSB= Loser's Satanic Bible Stick with the King James Bible.

God hates suffered and injustice Judges 2:18

I had the first NASB 71, then, went to RV, to KJV and just ordered the LSB. Since I used Logos Bible Software I have many translations with Study Bibles available on my computer. Each Version has its strengths and weaknesses, none are perfect, sorry KJ Only Users. Yah's Word was meant to be studied, not merely read like a novel. John MacArthur's Team said after they completed the LSB they fully understood what the King James Translators had to endure for each Book of the Bible. They pour their heart and soul into it. Dr John said the congregation was silent the first time they heard him say Yahweh in his preaching because they were used to hearing the word God, which is a Title, not an actual Name. I can't wait to study from the LSB and later this year, in 2024, they will release the MacArthur Legacy Study Bible.

Does anyone know if mortification of sin by John Owen is readable in terms of the language used? What I mean to ask is if it sounds like modern English. I tried to read a book by Johnathan Edward’s and the language was far too difficult for me to understand

Your camera angle is too tight, pull back a bit so there's a few inches of space above your head and the top of the frame. That would look much better. Take care!

Perfect timing on the review! I am finalizing the plans for my son's freshman year of high school and wanted to make sure this is one of the books I want to have him read for spiritual formation. Sounds like it will be a perfect book for him and his dad to go through together. Thanks!

going to start sprinkling babies if you keep buying and reading all these great reformed books haha

5:42 “the north american standard” 😂😂 brother it’s the New American Standard Bible.

Gospel of Thomas says,theirs 5 trees in Paradise who ever knows them will not taste death,these 5 trees are Persons ,it's Methaphors 1. Palm tree - Father 2. Apple tree or Grapes - Mother 3. Pomegranate tree - Bride 4. Olive tree - Jesus 5. Fig tree - self House Haggia 2:19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you. Joel 1:12 12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men. Nenimah 8:15 Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths (houses), as it is written. The bible is Methaphors Mary Magdalena taught Gnostic teachings in France if this is true why ain't we?,5 trees in Paradise in Gospel Thomas sayings,their in the bible

All versions of Bible translations should be tested by Acts chapter 8, verse 37 - "Then Philip said, 'If you believe with all your heart, you may.' And he answered and said, 'I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of GOD.' " (NKJV) If verse 37 is skipped over, in other words, the version you are reading goes from verse 36 to verse 38 without printing verse 37, it is not the Word of GOD, it is a falsehood by satan to deceive.

Amen👆🏽😌

My son, who is 17, will be reading this starting his new honeschool year off.

Go back and read Kingdom Through Covenant if you haven’t.

Got through the video. Well organized. Best clip is the summation of the fundamental principle of neo-Calvinism as divine sovereignty. Specifically the dominating principle is the sovereignty of God framing cosmology not soteriology. This is in sharp contrast to Lutheranism. Another way to contest the soteriological reductionism is found in Gerhardus Vos (also Dutch Reformed but not neo-Calvinistic) eschatology precedes soteriology. What do you think of that alternative to an unbalanced soteriology?

MINE WILL BE HERE IN ONE HOUR LOLLL

They both change the meaning of the Word of the Living God in Proverbs 18:1 (Authorized King James Version).

Thanks brother. I’m going to order my set this weekend.

I have this book.....it is really good

I still have 2OG PREMIUM CALFSKIN ESV Bibles. When I finished my doctorate. I got the 2002 edition Thinline Cordovan Calfskin and the 2004 edition Thinline Black Calfskin Bible. They are my 2 old school go to Bibles. They have notes on every page. Owning these two Bible are my go to. I have a plethora of Study Bibles. ESV Study, MacArthur ESV, Ryken’s (father and son) worked on a type of ESV Bible, and I have a handsize premium Bible from Cambridge. My favorite is that beautiful smooth Cordovan Calfskin 2002 edition. It’s my number one Bible. A friend worked for Crossway when we were in seminary together. He handed my a Hardback ESV Bible. It was right after 9-11-01. I had a NKJV MacArthur Study Bible at that time. I started to dive into the text and realized. This is a good word for word rendering without the clunky subject verb order of the NASB. I haven’t changed a bit. It is interesting at times when we are reading a text at church and someone says that their text is a bit different. Because I never bought the updated version. I know it so well. I can find any text almost with my eyes closed. I’m not a big study Bible fan for the serious student of scripture. People jump to the notes vs wrestling with the text. I do love the ESV Greek journals. That’s an amazing tool for exegetical work. Thanks.

Do I really want to watch this? I want it so bad, it might make it worse, but nevertheless Crossway had done this legend of a book justice. Someday I will be able to afford it, until then thank you for posting this review great job!! 😊 love the comment at 3:28 "oh love the smell" i also love the smell of a fine book! UPDATE: thank you dear Lord God provided someone graciously provided a copy of the set for me and I'm beyond grateful I'm overwhelmed and overjoyed!! ❤🙏

Well said. Thanks for sharing.

You just made all of those likes up. All "he who does not obey the Son" means is "he who does not obey the Son's command to BELIEVE" (i.e. a man who REFUSES TO BELIEVE on and instead rejects the Son). In other words: "He who believes on the Son has eternal life" is a command; those who hear the good news of Jesus Christ and The Gospel are COMMANDED to believe on Him.

Excellent study and explanations, thanks!

Bavinck was a true renaissance man and my favorite theologian.

Amazing work. Congrats.

Thank you for your review. One point that would have been helpful for your audience is a summary of how Reformed Baptist Covenant theology (i.e.1689 Federalism) correlates with the wonderful work you have done. This link will help any who would like to have more information on that system. czcams.com/play/PLD7MrXRhfvKCmQxcqjn2zFrISZMEfIPqQ.html

One of the hardest and most destructive sins to defeat: sexual sin. How do they know that 68% of the Church watches porn however?

Love this book! This is my go to discipleship book along with “steps towards heaven” by JC Ryle from banner.

I love that book
