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.
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.
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.
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
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 UA-cam for SNSS...Saturday Night Sunday School, every Saturday Night, huge help. Stay prayed up brother, it'll be alright.
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.
Voddie Bauchum has transformed my view, understanding and knowledge of Father God, Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit of Truth, the authors, stories and context and content. All praises to God for allowing me by his grace to discern...
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.
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.
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.
If only Voddie would come to the understanding of how Calvanism is not Biblical. Just like how we can see that Catholicism, Jehovah Witnesses and Mormonism is not Biblical, it's the same with Calvanism. I pray for him and McArthur to come to the truth regarding Calvanism.
I’ve been reading/studying the full Bible for a little over a year now (taking a deep dive, so pausing to get deeper understanding [where available] on harder to understand texts, keeping notes that I will follow up on with my Second go around). It never even occurred to me to research “how to study the Bible”. I just went with the method I felt in my spirit. And it’s comforting to know that the approach I took was overwhelmingly validated by this teaching, including: 1. What was the message that the messenger was trying to convey to the audience at that historical time? 2. How do other Bible translations phrase this particular passage (particularly for harder to understand passages, but also, for some easily understood, popular passages as I’m finding that some translations don’t do the passage’s meaning justice)? 3. Using electronic devices (apps, search engines, etc.) to navigate between different Bible translations and/or studying tools. Makes this sooooo much easier to navigate. 4. Focusing on the context (historical, levitical law vs Christian expectation, figure of speech and how it was commonly understood by those in audience, properly defining the terminology that was used in Hebrew or Greek at the time vs what that same word has morphed to mean in modern society, etc.) in order to properly interpret the text. This is _VERY_ important. I learned how many of very popular known scriptures or biblical sayings have been taken completely out of context in their common, modern day use. One example that comes to mind is “don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing”. I often hear this said, in the context of “don’t let everyone know your plans or have them in your business. Keep these things to yourself.” I don’t know that there’s anything innately wrong with using this figure of speech in this context, but it’s very clearly NOT the context Jesus used when He said it. Jesus said this in the context of doing/giving charity, specifically to let his followers understand that when they give, and then boast about it, they are receiving their reward/recognition from man, and not from God. Give in secrecy, between you and God if you expect it to be counted (and rewarded) by God. This encouraged me, in confirming that I am indeed on the right track with my studying. Thanks for sharing❣️
Always encouraging to hear a Believer devouring the Word. Been studying Scripture for 61 years, and this verse has been my guide: (1John 2:27) But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: *_but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him._*
@@SSNBN777 Thank you for this encouraging word! This spoke to me more than you could imagine. I was raised in church, but fell away briefly in my early 20s, after being disappointed when God failed to “move” in a way that I thought He was “supposed” to move. After reconciling with Him, I came to understand that I had never known God, had never read or studied the Word for myself (outside of what we covered in Bible study or church) and as a result, I had misconceptions/false expectations about how God moved (not necessarily due to bad doctrine, more so due to a lack of understanding how to rightly apply good doctrine to my life) and a false sense of righteousness. My relationship had been with _church_ and not _God._ This was the beginning of me forming a relationship with _Him._ At this point, I started reading segments of the Bible, but generally, as a reference, to put in my remembrance scripture that would convict me of things I struggled with, (unforgiveness, etc). God put it in my heart not just to read the verse of the scripture I needed, but the entire chapter, so that I’m reading it in its full context. This is what helped me begin my new walk with Christ. I’ve always been a deep thinker and would ponder about life, have “epiphanies”, and come up with deep, well-thought out sayings or perspectives on life. Things to live by. After reconciling back to God, I would have these occasional “epiphanies”, let’s say on a Wednesday. By Saturday night or even Sunday morning, I’d have an inexplicable strong urging to go to church that Sunday. I’d get there, and lo and behold, the pastor, in preaching his message, would have us turn to a verse that would turn out to be the same “epiphany” I’d had! This happened repeatedly - where I’d have some “epiphany” of some universal truth, then go to church only to discover that my “epiphany” was actually scripture that I had no idea existed. And this is how I begin to know that God was real, the Holy Spirit was speaking to me, and that the Bible truly is the Living Word of God. The scripture you listed, affirms how I came to know Christ. May you and your whole household be blessed. 💞
ETERNAL LIFE DEFINED: "John 17:1-3 ... Father, ... And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." 1) The TRUTH for SALVATION/ETERNAL LIFE in the KINGDOM OF GOD as TAUGHT and REVEALED by the LORD JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD is so EASY to UNDERSTAND as easy as finding the accurate sum of a one digit mathematical equation as simple as 1+1=2: 1 FATHER/SENDER + 1 SON/SENT = 2 EXISTING BEINGS - The FATHER/SENDER is the ONLY TRUE GOD; therefore, the SON/JESUS CHRIST/SENT IS NOT GOD; otherwise, he's a false god/god the son, god the Word, mighty god, creator god, father god, man god/false Christs (Matt. 24:24). 2) However, the preachers in the world chose the idiotic 1+1+1=1 or 1+1=1 for their god and Christ which originated from the idiot god of this world that blinded the world (2Cor. 4:4) -- Babylon of confusions and divisions from the ancient (Gen. 10:8-10, 11:1-9)/Babylonian tree (Dan. 4)/cursed tree (+) of the world (Acts 10:39, 13:29, Gal. 3:13) -- destined/prophesied to END -- END OF THE WORLD IN HELL FIRE (Matt. 13:38-40). 3) World! be WARNED!!!
The GOSPEL commences in KNOWING the ONLY TRUE GOD/FATHER (John 17:1-3)/HOLY GHOST (Matt. 1:18)/SPIRIT (John 4:24) AND the TRUE JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD (Matt. 1:18, Mark 1:1, John 10:36, 17:1-3)/MAN (John 8:40)/FLESH AND BONES (Luke 24:39) ARE TWO EXISTING BEING of different NATURES of EXISTENCE. LOGIC 1: The FATHER is the ONLY TRUE GOD (John 17:1-3). Therefore, the SON/JESUS CHRIST IS NOT GOD; otherwise, he's a false god/god the son, god the Word, mighty god, creator god, father god, man god/false Christs (Matt. 24:24). LOGIC 2: PREMISES: GOD is a SPIRIT (John 4:24); A spirit has no flesh and bones (Luke 24:39); JESUS CHRIST has flesh and bones (Luke 24:39). CONCLUSION: Therefore, JESUS CHRIST IS NOT GOD.
I was never notified of your post; just read it now. Yes the Spirit of the Lord desires to be our teacher. Only God knows our personal capabilities, obstacles and requirements for learning. I regret all the decades I just sat and listened to those "so much wiser than I", seminary trained and all. But those institutions (and churches) have donors that they cater and answer to -- in the case of Dallas Theological Seminary, one of their main ones are Kabbalists, therefore they teach an Old Covenant Jewish rebuilt Temple and nation will have exclusivity with God again and will rule over the earth. Nothing of the sort in Scripture. It's so rare to find someone interested in the meat, and not just content with the milk. I pray you never lose your enthusiasm, and will only grow exponentially in wisdom from the Lord. Yours 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.
The Law was given to the Israelites, to walk in Gods ways, when is Israel? Roman’s 9:4-16, and later In Galatians 3:28 in Christ there is no Jew nor greek. So whoever believes in the testimony of Christ and is obedient to YHWH, is Israel, not the one on the ground but the kingdom in heaven that’s coming down after the second coming of Christ
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.
Humm? Let's see. Take every verses that speak of God's love for humanity and the sacrifice of His Son Jesus that open the way to salvation for ALL who put their trust in Him and replace with a view that God has already determined from the foundation of the world who goes to hell and who goes to heaven. This makes a mockery of the Cross since, in their view everything is predetermined, so I ask reformers, WHY THE CROSS? They are clueless and study the wrong JC (John Calvin) and instead they should be studying the only JC that matters, Jesus Christ and His Word.
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
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?
Grasping Gods word is good resource for this message Goal when reading scripture is based off Two towns. Getting it from their town to our town Step 1: grasp the text in their town -What did the author communicate to his audience? -What did the text mean to the original audience? *this is the time to observe Observe: -who is author? -Who is audience? -What’s the setting? -What type of literature? Law narrative poetry apocalyptic -what is time period? -Cultural context? Step 2: measure width of river to cross -What are differences between biblical audience and us? -Are their differences between that audience and me? -Doing analysis here. Historical context and theological context covental context redemptive context Historical context Step 3: cross river (principalizing bridge) What is theological principal in text? (These are l timeless theological truths) This is interpretation -What doctrines are we addressing in the text? -What are key passages? -What do I know about these doctrines? Step 4 consult biblical map -How does our theological principle fit with the rest of Bible? ****Must allow all of scripture to interpret scripture Step 5 grasp text in our town -How should christains today live out this theological principal? This gets us to APPLICATION (timeless theological truth) What to look at at a sentence level?? **** look for repeated words ***** contrasts comparison ***** lists **** cause and effect **** figures of speech **** conjunction (but God) **** verbs **** pronouns
I love Voddie Baucham's teachings of the Bible. He is a man of God. I trust him to tell the truth. I have been thinking of getting a factual study Bible, but I feel that there is so much wisdom in God's word, in the Holy Bible. I want the Word to speak to me, and it has. I have problems with knowing the months, maps, and money exchanges, that they used in the days of Christ. I prefer the Kings James Bible, and realized that one of my Bible's has more information like that, in the back pages. I feel I need a workbook, that has tests, I feel one of those workbooks will test what I am retaining, so I can go back and reread what I failed to absorb. Thank you Voddie, for your messages, I always learn something from your knowledge.
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.
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 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.
ETERNAL LIFE DEFINED: "John 17:1-3 ... Father, and this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." 1) FAILURE in KNOWING the ONLY TRUE GOD/FATHER (John 17:1-3)/HOLY GHOST (Matt. 1:18)/SPIRIT (John 4:24) AND the TRUE JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD (Matt. 1:18, Mark 1:1, John 10:36)/MAN (John 8:40)/FLESH AND BONES (Luke 24:39) is tantamount to the FAILURE in attaining SALVATION/ETERNAL LIFE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD (John 17:1-3).
Ppl! Why don't you do anything the Lord say do? He says, why call him Lord and do not to what he say? Let me remind you, the Lord sais in these last days many will come in his Name and deceive many. He said, the blind leads the blind and they both fall into the ditch (hail's fire). Who are the "many"? If after you received Christ you went from sin to sin. Then you are the many and whoever you agree with is also the many that are blind. What blinds you is sin bc you do it and then see it. How is it that you are sinful and agreeing with someone who is know preaching accountability? Vonde is a false teacher! I guarantee you!! BC he is still in his sins and blinded by he pride of life. I mean he is as ignorant as they come. Nothing he says has anything to do with "how to study the bible". That is why he knows nothing about, other than what it says. I tried to listen for the duration but nothing he says is relative to 'how to study the bible'. Everything he says is nonsense. For one, there are no 5 steps! His 5 steps are non existent! There is book called 'a tale of two cites'. (lmao) There is no river! Here's truth, you cannot understand the bible. It is written by the Hand of the Almighty to not say what you think but mean what it says. (you shall not!) That means you can care less about what was happening in the setting other than the principle in the MInd of Abba Patyr'. Therefore the bible is speaking to two different types of ppl. The obedient and the disobedient. None of what this man says applies to how to study the bible. I will tell you what you must do, but also the understanding of how to study the bible according to it and why. Vonde's terms are crap! The understanding then has to be its sub-divisions is the letter of the law and the Word of God. (1st off the word "God" is not in Hebrew or Greek without a cover bc it is a English word) Isa.28:9. So the bible is written to not be understood without the Almighty personally explaining it to you in the secret place. (P..91:1,15.) The keys to understanding it, that the Patyr' gives (Mal.3:16-18.). The "Cipher' is the keys that stands as a cover over the bible as transportation and substitution. (Aleph and tav) We see it then and now - Isa.29:9-16.II Cor.3:18.) But the end is near!
Greek and Hebrew language don’t know Spirit of God. God creature everything. Only God (Father Son &The Holy Spirit) know Himself. That false teachings.
You are correct in dealing with Words, but remember that THE Spirit IS THE INTERPRETER…therefore Jesus said, in John 5:39, that the Pharisees only looked at the words on a page, and did not know His “heart” toward His children. I have come to the conclusion that there is only ONE way to KNOW that, and it is in KNOWING His love in YOUR life. “We love because He first loved us”. Until that happens in someone’s life, either coming from caring parents, or a caring faithful friend, who forgives you, when you do not deserve it…(as OUR FRIEND “ON THE CROSS”….). Because we are not able to “GIVE” what we do NOT know. The Psalmist in Psalm 23, said, “My Cup Runneth Over…” and He was speaking his gratitude about the blessings on his life from God.
Hey no one can tells anyone how to study the Bible or the word of God.its the holy spirit .dont let man as VODDIE BAUCHAM PRETENDING TO BE HOLY .TELLS U HOW TO STUDIED GOD WORDS..DONT FOLLOW THAT MAN PATH.FOLLOW THE PATH OF JESUS..
Do we understand why we must believe in the Lord Jesus? The outstanding reason is that we humans have no self-righteousness or our nature is always accompanied by an ultimate and aberrant lifestyle. …..But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness’s are as filthy rags, and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away (Isaiah 64:6). Apostle Paul in his epistle to the Christians at Rome told them that, ‘’For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth’’ (Rom 10:4). Without taking much time, let me tell you what I understood and hopefully, you too understand from the Holy Bible. God in the book of Psalms 89:14 said that ‘Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.’ What does this word mean to us? Jesus, in the book of John chapter 16:7-12… said nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he has come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Let us please bear in mind that …To believe in Jesus is to believe that the invisible God has been manifested in the flesh-Jesus Christ…for it was written...And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory (1Tim3:16). Then to repent and be baptized into the name of Jesus is to put on Christ the righteousness that makes us free from judgment. Therefore, to be heirs of the Kingdom of God what is utterly mandatory in life on earth is to put on Christ via baptism in the name of Jesus (Act 2:38) this warrants us to be part takers of the Justice from God and completely makes us free from end day`s Judgment. Read what was strictly said in the book of Hebrew chapters 1 and 2. The ever greater secret of why we are not scared about death is the fulfillment of Act 2:38 in our life here on earth and in the upcoming glorious heavenly Jerusalem. Jesus has swallowed every power of ‘Death’ … And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the Vail that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. (Isaiah 12:7-8). Blessed be His Name. Amen! Please obey Act 2:38 which is the translation for Luk 24:47… Stay Blessed.
Voddie you seem to suggest that everything there is to know about God is known to mankind. All scripture has been fully explained Complete Exegeses Is this correct? Is Calvinism true? If someone finds scriptures that truly prove that Calvinism is wrong that would be wrong according to you. Would you stand by that?
Jesus makes us have a higher status than angels 1 Corinthians 6:3 NASB Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? Demons have no authority over us as adopted children of God. Their power is not greater than Jesus, who lives in us.
Why do practically all of modern day Protestantism keep the Roman Catholic Sabbath, the Venerable Day of the Sun despite no where in the bible was the 7th day Sabbath changed? Despite verses like 1 John 2-3-6 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. People who claim to know and live God I would think would obey His law. Yet basically the entire Christian church keeps a day created by the Roman Catholic church a church that fits perfectly the characteristics of the Antichrist Beast system described by the books of Daniel & Revelation.
You know it's funny, but some pastors discourage study Bibles, and I understand why, for very young readers I think it important to just read the text, when and if a person wants to get a deeper understanding then they should take care to invest in a good study Bible, and even there it's important to do your homework. Some are really bad.
@@ericday4505 Flesh never gets the Spirit. God lives in our hearts and minds when we get rid of the old man and women, thinking they created themselves. 🥰
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!
He has many gifts of speech giving. But John 3:16 negates his ridiculous assertion that God has predisposed some to automatic hellfire. The bible tells me we all have a choice. Don't ever start following Calvinism.
Do you have a video that shows your written Bible study examples? How you diagram outside your Bible and also how you mark the scripture so that when you go back later it is always the same recognizable system? Like your color system, the way you mark parts of speech etc.
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.
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.
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
Christ is alive! Hes not underneath pages of a book…Christ is the living breathimg word of God not scriptures!! Are u followimg Christ or r u serving dead Gods
Yet here you are! Not everything on yt is corrupt, that's where discernment falls into place. Knowing scripture is the key to finding good preachers on yt or for that matter in church. God bless you. 🙌
Brother Baucham you are truly blessed and led by The Holy Spirit!, i know when i hear your sermons or teachings i can be sure it will be sound and rooted in Scripture, Thank you Sir once again! Praise The LORD!
I mean i agree, but also the Jews and Pharisees in Jesus' time rejected Christ because they thought different things were heresy or not accepted by the religious academics at the time. The answer is always to go back to the text- not scholars.
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
Yes brother but who's idea is getting across? I'll stick to my 1611 KJV. I serve a Father big enough to give me what I need. I do have an 1828 dictionary to help with words. And a Strongs concordance. Rome changed the Bible and continue to do so as do other enemies of GOD.
@@AlHand-ff5id please just hear me out. Calvinism says God only chose some and passed over the rest. The Bible says Gods will is that no man should perish but all come to repentance. Calvinism says God will make the elect believe. The Bible says choose this day whom you will serve. Either God is a liar or Calvinism is heresy. We as Christians need to be preaching the gospel to Calvinist because they do not know the gospel. The Bible says Gal 1:8 KJV But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. I have just showed you that Calvinism is a false gospel. How can someone give you biblical knowledge when they themselves do not believe the Bible? I'm not mad at Calvinist, I am afraid for their salvation.
Studying the Bible is precisely what lead me to Calvinism, though I didn't realize it had a "name" for it already. It's just what I saw the Bible teaching and later realized there was already a "category" named for it. Let's take one of the verses you paraphrased above and apply some of the lessons of this video to it: 2 Peter "8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed." First, you said "that no man should perish but all come to repentance" The actual verse says "but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance" It doesn't say that "no man" should perish. It says that "any" should perish. "Any" what? Any of YOU. (patient toward YOU, not wishing that any should perish) Who is "you"? The people Peter was writing to. Who was Peter writing to? 2 Peter 1: "To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:" Peter is speaking to the elect of God. Every time he uses "you" from Verse 1 on is in reference to the elect. I find nowhere that he uses it in the general sense of every individual everywhere. So he will not return until all of his elect have reached repentance. If you disagree with something I said above, let me know. BUT, if you disregard that argument... we still need to look at the context of the sentence, paragraph, book as a whole. What is the section about? Well in Chapter 2 Peter begins warning about false teachers. In Chapter 3, he addresses one of the tactics/arguments those false teachers are using, which is eschatological / end times / Jesus' return. So the passage is in the context of false teachers and specifically false teachings about eschatology, and you're making a soteriological doctrine from it. Where as in places that are specifically discussing soteriology (i.e. John 3, 6, 10, Romans 9, Ephesians 1-2, etc) are speaking specifically about soteriology. And it clearly states God's choice, independent of anything found in man. In John 3, Nicodemus asks Jesus himself how one can be born again. Jesus tells him "Make the choice of your own free will to be born again!" Just kidding. He says "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” In other words, it's up to the Spirit. Not you or your free will. You don't even know where it came from or is going. So when we are studying / seeking to have a biblical soteriology, we should go to the teachings about soteriology. They can be supplemented by non-soteriological passages, but we should seek to interpret the implicit by the explicit of "on subject" scriptures. To summarize: 1. You mis-paraphrased 2 Peter 3:9. It's "you", not "anyone". And "you" is a specific group, the elect, whom the letter is written to and is referred to several times from verse 1 on. 2. We should get our soteriology from soteriological passages, not eschatological passages 3. The soteriological passages point to God's sovereignty and choice, not mans.
The first thing you have to do is learn to interpret words differently because their actual definition in the bible is not the same as their true definition. Well this is what theists keep telling me though I do get the impression they are just trying to justify the fact that what they believe is stupid.
No, we must get the absent fathers and mothers to take these classes, restoring them to their abandoned children. This must be done through love and forgiveness. Unfortunately, while the daughters were in the churches with our grandparents and mothers, our brothers really didn’t participate in the Baptist church community. It was definitely a man’s world and our brothers didn’t develop fatherhood skills. That explains why the churches don’t know how to deal with these issues. The churches that we were raised in have changed.. Before, we had mom and pop storefronts, and the entire family worked their businesses. Children worked hard and were very respectful, and polite. Now we have rude single parents who were abandoned by their parents or verbally and physically abused, carrying on these horrible generational curses. There is nothing new under the sun, yes, sexual predators are everywhere, including on the Hill, trying to incorporate carefree sex and public school agendas, determined to wipe out parenthood with integrity and morality. This is a terrible time to be living in America. When landmarks and guide post are put in order by Jehovah-jireh, and our politicians remove these principles, it brings disastrous consequences. Look at what is happening, this is not a coincidence. God is not dead. He is still on the throne. Wait on the Lord, I say, and continue to pray without ceasing. 🇺🇸🌎💁🏾🙏
Very good, however don’t discount the work and help of The Holy Spirit when studying the Bible.
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.
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.
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 🙏 🙏
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.
What denomination did you come out of?
This is absolutely Love from Voddie,sharing his knowledge and wisdom with the congregation. I've never seen anyone give this generously. Thank you.
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
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.
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. 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 UA-cam for SNSS...Saturday Night Sunday School, every Saturday Night, huge help. Stay prayed up brother, it'll be alright.
Amen…I’m there with u
Thanks Pastor Voddie for explaining the right way of studying the Holy Bible, God bless you Sir and keep spreading the Gospel!
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.
Yes but also iron sharpens iron so do so with brothers in Christ. Many misinterpreted text due to thinking they understand when they dont
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.
Assumption got us a media full of false, self centered teachings.
Voddie Bauchum has transformed my view, understanding and knowledge of Father God, Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit of Truth, the authors, stories and context and content.
All praises to God for allowing me by his grace to discern...
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.
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.
LORD I PRAY FOR BROTHER VODDIE, THANK YOU FOR SENDING US A TRUE MAN OF LORD AND PRINCIPAL
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.
So happy to see this video! Thank you and Lord, bless this man of God. In Jesus name. Amen
Amen!
His study of the word is amazing ❤
If only Voddie would come to the understanding of how Calvanism is not Biblical. Just like how we can see that Catholicism, Jehovah Witnesses and Mormonism is not Biblical, it's the same with Calvanism. I pray for him and McArthur to come to the truth regarding Calvanism.
Fear God , keep the commandments
I’ve been reading/studying the full Bible for a little over a year now (taking a deep dive, so pausing to get deeper understanding [where available] on harder to understand texts, keeping notes that I will follow up on with my Second go around). It never even occurred to me to research “how to study the Bible”. I just went with the method I felt in my spirit. And it’s comforting to know that the approach I took was overwhelmingly validated by this teaching, including:
1. What was the message that the messenger was trying to convey to the audience at that historical time?
2. How do other Bible translations phrase this particular passage (particularly for harder to understand passages, but also, for some easily understood, popular passages as I’m finding that some translations don’t do the passage’s meaning justice)?
3. Using electronic devices (apps, search engines, etc.) to navigate between different Bible translations and/or studying tools. Makes this sooooo much easier to navigate.
4. Focusing on the context (historical, levitical law vs Christian expectation, figure of speech and how it was commonly understood by those in audience, properly defining the terminology that was used in Hebrew or Greek at the time vs what that same word has morphed to mean in modern society, etc.) in order to properly interpret the text. This is _VERY_ important. I learned how many of very popular known scriptures or biblical sayings have been taken completely out of context in their common, modern day use. One example that comes to mind is “don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing”. I often hear this said, in the context of “don’t let everyone know your plans or have them in your business. Keep these things to yourself.” I don’t know that there’s anything innately wrong with using this figure of speech in this context, but it’s very clearly NOT the context Jesus used when He said it. Jesus said this in the context of doing/giving charity, specifically to let his followers understand that when they give, and then boast about it, they are receiving their reward/recognition from man, and not from God. Give in secrecy, between you and God if you expect it to be counted (and rewarded) by God.
This encouraged me, in confirming that I am indeed on the right track with my studying. Thanks for sharing❣️
Always encouraging to hear a Believer devouring the Word. Been studying Scripture for 61 years, and this verse has been my guide:
(1John 2:27) But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: *_but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him._*
@@SSNBN777 Thank you for this encouraging word! This spoke to me more than you could imagine.
I was raised in church, but fell away briefly in my early 20s, after being disappointed when God failed to “move” in a way that I thought He was “supposed” to move.
After reconciling with Him, I came to understand that I had never known God, had never read or studied the Word for myself (outside of what we covered in Bible study or church) and as a result, I had misconceptions/false expectations about how God moved (not necessarily due to bad doctrine, more so due to a lack of understanding how to rightly apply good doctrine to my life) and a false sense of righteousness. My relationship had been with _church_ and not _God._
This was the beginning of me forming a relationship with _Him._
At this point, I started reading segments of the Bible, but generally, as a reference, to put in my remembrance scripture that would convict me of things I struggled with, (unforgiveness, etc). God put it in my heart not just to read the verse of the scripture I needed, but the entire chapter, so that I’m reading it in its full context. This is what helped me begin my new walk with Christ.
I’ve always been a deep thinker and would ponder about life, have “epiphanies”, and come up with deep, well-thought out sayings or perspectives on life. Things to live by.
After reconciling back to God, I would have these occasional “epiphanies”, let’s say on a Wednesday. By Saturday night or even Sunday morning, I’d have an inexplicable strong urging to go to church that Sunday. I’d get there, and lo and behold, the pastor, in preaching his message, would have us turn to a verse that would turn out to be the same “epiphany” I’d had! This happened repeatedly - where I’d have some “epiphany” of some universal truth, then go to church only to discover that my “epiphany” was actually scripture that I had no idea existed.
And this is how I begin to know that God was real, the Holy Spirit was speaking to me, and that the Bible truly is the Living Word of God. The scripture you listed, affirms how I came to know Christ. May you and your whole household be blessed. 💞
ETERNAL LIFE DEFINED:
"John 17:1-3 ... Father, ... And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
1) The TRUTH for SALVATION/ETERNAL LIFE in the KINGDOM OF GOD as TAUGHT and REVEALED by the LORD JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD is so EASY to UNDERSTAND as easy as finding the accurate sum of a one digit mathematical equation as simple as 1+1=2:
1 FATHER/SENDER + 1 SON/SENT = 2 EXISTING BEINGS
- The FATHER/SENDER is the ONLY TRUE GOD; therefore, the SON/JESUS CHRIST/SENT IS NOT GOD; otherwise, he's a false god/god the son, god the Word, mighty god, creator god, father god, man god/false Christs (Matt. 24:24).
2) However, the preachers in the world chose the idiotic 1+1+1=1 or 1+1=1 for their god and Christ which originated from the idiot god of this world that blinded the world (2Cor. 4:4) -- Babylon of confusions and divisions from the ancient (Gen. 10:8-10, 11:1-9)/Babylonian tree (Dan. 4)/cursed tree (+) of the world (Acts 10:39, 13:29, Gal. 3:13) -- destined/prophesied to END -- END OF THE WORLD IN HELL FIRE (Matt. 13:38-40).
3) World! be WARNED!!!
The GOSPEL commences in KNOWING the ONLY TRUE GOD/FATHER (John 17:1-3)/HOLY GHOST (Matt. 1:18)/SPIRIT (John 4:24)
AND
the TRUE JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD (Matt. 1:18, Mark 1:1, John 10:36, 17:1-3)/MAN (John 8:40)/FLESH AND BONES (Luke 24:39)
ARE
TWO EXISTING BEING of different NATURES of EXISTENCE.
LOGIC 1:
The FATHER is the ONLY TRUE GOD (John 17:1-3).
Therefore, the SON/JESUS CHRIST IS NOT GOD; otherwise, he's a false god/god the son, god the Word, mighty god, creator god, father god, man god/false Christs (Matt. 24:24).
LOGIC 2:
PREMISES: GOD is a SPIRIT (John 4:24);
A spirit has no flesh and bones (Luke 24:39);
JESUS CHRIST has flesh and bones (Luke 24:39).
CONCLUSION: Therefore, JESUS CHRIST IS NOT GOD.
I was never notified of your post; just read it now. Yes the Spirit of the Lord desires to be our teacher. Only God knows our personal capabilities, obstacles and requirements for learning. I regret all the decades I just sat and listened to those "so much wiser than I", seminary trained and all. But those institutions (and churches) have donors that they cater and answer to -- in the case of Dallas Theological Seminary, one of their main ones are Kabbalists, therefore they teach an Old Covenant Jewish rebuilt Temple and nation will have exclusivity with God again and will rule over the earth. Nothing of the sort in Scripture.
It's so rare to find someone interested in the meat, and not just content with the milk. I pray you never lose your enthusiasm, and will only grow exponentially in wisdom from the Lord.
Yours in Christ...
I wish he would actually do the sentence diagram on a whiteboard so I could see it.
That's what Google and UA-cam are for. I'll have to look up how to diagram sentences as well. Re-learning never stops 😐
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.
Is the audio cutting out for anyone else?
Yes
Yes
The Law was given to the Israelites, to walk in Gods ways, when is Israel? Roman’s 9:4-16, and later In Galatians 3:28 in Christ there is no Jew nor greek. So whoever believes in the testimony of Christ and is obedient to YHWH, is Israel, not the one on the ground but the kingdom in heaven that’s coming down after the second coming of Christ
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.
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.
Humm? Let's see. Take every verses that speak of God's love for humanity and the sacrifice of His Son Jesus that open the way to salvation for ALL who put their trust in Him and replace with a view that God has already determined from the foundation of the world who goes to hell and who goes to heaven. This makes a mockery of the Cross since, in their view everything is predetermined, so I ask reformers, WHY THE CROSS? They are clueless and study the wrong JC (John Calvin) and instead they should be studying the only JC that matters, Jesus Christ and His Word.
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
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?
Please keep these studies coming.
This method is from the book Grasping God's Word by J Scott Duvall. A great read that helped me immensely
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 😁
The NIV leaves out verses of scripture and changes MEANING.
Grasping Gods word is good resource for this message
Goal when reading scripture is based off Two towns. Getting it from their town to our town
Step 1: grasp the text in their town
-What did the author communicate to his audience? -What did the text mean to the original audience?
*this is the time to observe
Observe:
-who is author?
-Who is audience?
-What’s the setting?
-What type of literature? Law narrative poetry apocalyptic -what is time period?
-Cultural context?
Step 2: measure width of river to cross
-What are differences between biblical audience and us?
-Are their differences between that audience and me?
-Doing analysis here.
Historical context and theological context covental context redemptive context
Historical context
Step 3: cross river (principalizing bridge)
What is theological principal in text? (These are l timeless theological truths)
This is interpretation
-What doctrines are we addressing in the text?
-What are key passages?
-What do I know about these doctrines?
Step 4 consult biblical map
-How does our theological principle fit with the rest of Bible?
****Must allow all of scripture to interpret scripture
Step 5 grasp text in our town
-How should christains today live out this theological principal?
This gets us to
APPLICATION (timeless theological truth)
What to look at at a sentence level??
**** look for repeated words
***** contrasts comparison
***** lists
**** cause and effect
**** figures of speech
**** conjunction (but God)
**** verbs
**** pronouns
God Bless you
I love Voddie Baucham's teachings of the Bible. He is a man of God. I trust him to tell the truth. I have been thinking of getting a factual study Bible, but I feel that there is so much wisdom in God's word, in the Holy Bible. I want the Word to speak to me, and it has. I have problems with knowing the months, maps, and money exchanges, that they used in the days of Christ. I prefer the Kings James Bible, and realized that one of my Bible's has more information like that, in the back pages. I feel I need a workbook, that has tests, I feel one of those workbooks will test what I am retaining, so I can go back and reread what I failed to absorb. Thank you Voddie, for your messages, I always learn something from your knowledge.
Please tell me where your church is located as I live in Chisamba and would love to attend.
The NIV removes whole scripture
The Scriptures tell about the Scriptures. God has something to tell you.
Open the Scriptures and hear what he has to say
So good, thank you so much for posting this.
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 blessed to have found a great teacher.
NIV IS NOT GOOD. IT LEAVES A TON OF VERSES OUT.
Love Voddie❤Praise be to THe LORD JESUS CHRIST 👑 👑 👑
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.
I use Blue Letter App
But John McArthur has an amazing study Bible
Such a good man of God to listen to
The first question to ask when studying any Bible passage is, "Who is God in this passage?"
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.
My new favorite video of ALL TIME! Praise God for this anointed Man helping us to rightly divide the Word of Truth!
Tony Evan’s has a good study bible !
ETERNAL LIFE DEFINED:
"John 17:1-3 ... Father, and this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
1) FAILURE in KNOWING the ONLY TRUE GOD/FATHER (John 17:1-3)/HOLY GHOST (Matt. 1:18)/SPIRIT (John 4:24)
AND
the TRUE JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD (Matt. 1:18, Mark 1:1, John 10:36)/MAN (John 8:40)/FLESH AND BONES (Luke 24:39)
is
tantamount to the FAILURE in attaining SALVATION/ETERNAL LIFE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD (John 17:1-3).
Ppl! Why don't you do anything the Lord say do? He says, why call him Lord and do not to what he say? Let me remind you, the Lord sais in these last days many will come in his Name and deceive many. He said, the blind leads the blind and they both fall into the ditch (hail's fire). Who are the "many"? If after you received Christ you went from sin to sin. Then you are the many and whoever you agree with is also the many that are blind. What blinds you is sin bc you do it and then see it. How is it that you are sinful and agreeing with someone who is know preaching accountability?
Vonde is a false teacher! I guarantee you!! BC he is still in his sins and blinded by he pride of life. I mean he is as ignorant as they come. Nothing he says has anything to do with "how to study the bible". That is why he knows nothing about, other than what it says. I tried to listen for the duration but nothing he says is relative to 'how to study the bible'. Everything he says is nonsense. For one, there are no 5 steps! His 5 steps are non existent! There is book called 'a tale of two cites'. (lmao)
There is no river! Here's truth, you cannot understand the bible. It is written by the Hand of the Almighty to not say what you think but mean what it says. (you shall not!) That means you can care less about what was happening in the setting other than the principle in the MInd of Abba Patyr'. Therefore the bible is speaking to two different types of ppl. The obedient and the disobedient. None of what this man says applies to how to study the bible. I will tell you what you must do, but also the understanding of how to study the bible according to it and why. Vonde's terms are crap!
The understanding then has to be its sub-divisions is the letter of the law and the Word of God. (1st off the word "God" is not in Hebrew or Greek without a cover bc it is a English word) Isa.28:9. So the bible is written to not be understood without the Almighty personally explaining it to you in the secret place. (P..91:1,15.) The keys to understanding it, that the Patyr' gives (Mal.3:16-18.). The "Cipher' is the keys that stands as a cover over the bible as transportation and substitution. (Aleph and tav) We see it then and now - Isa.29:9-16.II Cor.3:18.) But the end is near!
Greek and Hebrew language don’t know Spirit of God. God creature everything. Only God (Father Son &The Holy Spirit) know Himself. That false teachings.
You are correct in dealing with Words, but remember that THE Spirit IS THE INTERPRETER…therefore Jesus said, in John 5:39, that the Pharisees only looked at the words on a page, and did not know His “heart” toward His children. I have come to the conclusion that there is only ONE way to KNOW that, and it is in KNOWING His love in YOUR life. “We love because He first loved us”. Until that happens in someone’s life, either coming from caring parents, or a caring faithful friend, who forgives you, when you do not deserve it…(as OUR FRIEND “ON THE CROSS”….). Because we are not able to “GIVE” what we do NOT know. The Psalmist in Psalm 23, said, “My Cup Runneth Over…” and He was speaking his gratitude about the blessings on his life from God.
Hey no one can tells anyone how to study the Bible or the word of God.its the holy spirit .dont let man as VODDIE BAUCHAM PRETENDING TO BE HOLY .TELLS U HOW TO STUDIED GOD WORDS..DONT FOLLOW THAT MAN PATH.FOLLOW THE PATH OF JESUS..
Calvinism is completely irrelevant. If it’s true nothing changes. Still, if it’s false nothing changes. No argument whatsoever.
Your teachings are great. I find that an Exhaustive Strong's Concordance is a most useful resource. If using the KJV.
Do we understand why we must believe in the Lord Jesus?
The outstanding reason is that we humans have no self-righteousness or our nature is always accompanied by an ultimate and aberrant lifestyle. …..But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness’s are as filthy rags, and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away (Isaiah 64:6). Apostle Paul in his epistle to the Christians at Rome told them that, ‘’For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth’’ (Rom 10:4). Without taking much time, let me tell you what I understood and hopefully, you too understand from the Holy Bible. God in the book of Psalms 89:14 said that ‘Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.’ What does this word mean to us? Jesus, in the book of John chapter 16:7-12… said nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he has come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Let us please bear in mind that …To believe in Jesus is to believe that the invisible God has been manifested in the flesh-Jesus Christ…for it was written...And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory (1Tim3:16). Then to repent and be baptized into the name of Jesus is to put on Christ the righteousness that makes us free from judgment. Therefore, to be heirs of the Kingdom of God what is utterly mandatory in life on earth is to put on Christ via baptism in the name of Jesus (Act 2:38) this warrants us to be part takers of the Justice from God and completely makes us free from end day`s Judgment. Read what was strictly said in the book of Hebrew chapters 1 and 2. The ever greater secret of why we are not scared about death is the fulfillment of Act 2:38 in our life here on earth and in the upcoming glorious heavenly Jerusalem. Jesus has swallowed every power of ‘Death’ … And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the Vail that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. (Isaiah 12:7-8). Blessed be His Name. Amen! Please obey Act 2:38 which is the translation for Luk 24:47…
Stay Blessed.
Voddie you seem to suggest that everything there is to know about God is known to mankind. All scripture has been fully explained Complete Exegeses Is this correct? Is Calvinism true? If someone finds scriptures that truly prove that Calvinism is wrong that would be wrong according to you. Would you stand by that?
This guy and Robert Breaker need to talk. I’ll like 2 see them together. Both really good
Jesus makes us have a higher status than angels
1 Corinthians 6:3 NASB
Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?
Demons have no authority over us as adopted children of God. Their power is not greater than Jesus, who lives in us.
Why do practically all of modern day Protestantism keep the Roman Catholic Sabbath, the Venerable Day of the Sun despite no where in the bible was the 7th day Sabbath changed? Despite verses like 1 John 2-3-6
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
People who claim to know and live God I would think would obey His law. Yet basically the entire Christian church keeps a day created by the Roman Catholic church a church that fits perfectly the characteristics of the Antichrist Beast system described by the books of Daniel & Revelation.
Not all authors are from God writing these study Bibles
You know it's funny, but some pastors discourage study Bibles, and I understand why, for very young readers I think it important to just read the text, when and if a person wants to get a deeper understanding then they should take care to invest in a good study Bible, and even there it's important to do your homework. Some are really bad.
Deny him if you must. 🙏
@@ericday4505 Flesh never gets the Spirit. God lives in our hearts and minds when we get rid of the old man and women, thinking they created themselves. 🥰
Andy Stanley needs to study this
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!
He has many gifts of speech giving. But John 3:16 negates his ridiculous assertion that God has predisposed some to automatic hellfire. The bible tells me we all have a choice. Don't ever start following Calvinism.
Am so bless to see this video .thank you pastor Voddie. God bless you and your family
The Bible not a book with your mine. It a spiritual book. The Holy Spirit have give you the understanding.
Do you have a video that shows your written Bible study examples? How you diagram outside your Bible and also how you mark the scripture so that when you go back later it is always the same recognizable system? Like your color system, the way you mark parts of speech etc.
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 👏🏿
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.
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
Christ is alive! Hes not underneath pages of a book…Christ is the living breathimg word of God not scriptures!! Are u followimg Christ or r u serving dead Gods
Baucham is the real deal
Boycott UA-cam they are corrupt to the core 😢
Yet here you are! Not everything on yt is corrupt, that's where discernment falls into place. Knowing scripture is the key to finding good preachers on yt or for that matter in church. God bless you. 🙌
So very helpful. Thank you Mr. Baucham
Brother Baucham you are truly blessed and led by The Holy Spirit!, i know when i hear your sermons or teachings i can be sure it will be sound and rooted in Scripture, Thank you Sir once again! Praise The LORD!
I mean i agree, but also the Jews and Pharisees in Jesus' time rejected Christ because they thought different things were heresy or not accepted by the religious academics at the time. The answer is always to go back to the text- not scholars.
Hahaha I was saying Application outloud when he asked hahaha !!! Love this teacher 😊
Only the King James Bible matters, it has been around for 415 years , if God had it right the fist time then why would we need to do it again.
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
Yes brother but who's idea is getting across?
I'll stick to my 1611 KJV.
I serve a Father big enough to give me what I need.
I do have an 1828 dictionary to help with words.
And a Strongs concordance.
Rome changed the Bible and continue to do so as do other enemies of GOD.
This could have been two minutes. Read the King James Bible
Ill study the Bible by reading the Bible so i dont come up with Calvinism 😂
Him being a Calvinist doesn’t mean his preaching is not beneficial-he is one of the best around today. I am not a Calvinist
@@AlHand-ff5id please just hear me out.
Calvinism says God only chose some and passed over the rest.
The Bible says Gods will is that no man should perish but all come to repentance.
Calvinism says God will make the elect believe.
The Bible says choose this day whom you will serve.
Either God is a liar or Calvinism is heresy.
We as Christians need to be preaching the gospel to Calvinist because they do not know the gospel.
The Bible says
Gal 1:8 KJV But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
I have just showed you that Calvinism is a false gospel. How can someone give you biblical knowledge when they themselves do not believe the Bible?
I'm not mad at Calvinist, I am afraid for their salvation.
Studying the Bible is precisely what lead me to Calvinism, though I didn't realize it had a "name" for it already. It's just what I saw the Bible teaching and later realized there was already a "category" named for it.
Let's take one of the verses you paraphrased above and apply some of the lessons of this video to it:
2 Peter
"8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed."
First, you said "that no man should perish but all come to repentance"
The actual verse says "but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance"
It doesn't say that "no man" should perish. It says that "any" should perish. "Any" what? Any of YOU. (patient toward YOU, not wishing that any should perish)
Who is "you"? The people Peter was writing to.
Who was Peter writing to?
2 Peter 1: "To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:"
Peter is speaking to the elect of God.
Every time he uses "you" from Verse 1 on is in reference to the elect. I find nowhere that he uses it in the general sense of every individual everywhere.
So he will not return until all of his elect have reached repentance.
If you disagree with something I said above, let me know.
BUT, if you disregard that argument... we still need to look at the context of the sentence, paragraph, book as a whole.
What is the section about?
Well in Chapter 2 Peter begins warning about false teachers.
In Chapter 3, he addresses one of the tactics/arguments those false teachers are using, which is eschatological / end times / Jesus' return.
So the passage is in the context of false teachers and specifically false teachings about eschatology, and you're making a soteriological doctrine from it.
Where as in places that are specifically discussing soteriology (i.e. John 3, 6, 10, Romans 9, Ephesians 1-2, etc) are speaking specifically about soteriology. And it clearly states God's choice, independent of anything found in man.
In John 3, Nicodemus asks Jesus himself how one can be born again. Jesus tells him "Make the choice of your own free will to be born again!" Just kidding. He says "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” In other words, it's up to the Spirit. Not you or your free will. You don't even know where it came from or is going.
So when we are studying / seeking to have a biblical soteriology, we should go to the teachings about soteriology. They can be supplemented by non-soteriological passages, but we should seek to interpret the implicit by the explicit of "on subject" scriptures.
To summarize:
1. You mis-paraphrased 2 Peter 3:9. It's "you", not "anyone". And "you" is a specific group, the elect, whom the letter is written to and is referred to several times from verse 1 on.
2. We should get our soteriology from soteriological passages, not eschatological passages
3. The soteriological passages point to God's sovereignty and choice, not mans.
@@MansterBear the god of Calvinism is a evil false god. I hope you go to God to learn it.
The first thing you have to do is learn to interpret words differently because their actual definition in the bible is not the same as their true definition. Well this is what theists keep telling me though I do get the impression they are just trying to justify the fact that what they believe is stupid.
By Gods grace, I gain such much biblical wisdom listening to this man 🙏.
I can never understand his sermons or his teachings I don't know why I tried so hard to understand him and I never understand what he means
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).
The NIV removes scripture so I won't use that one.
You need THE HOLY GHOST SPIRIT OF TRUTH !
Voddie reminds me of Neil Degrasse Tyson of Theology
The only way to study Gods word is through His Holy Spirit which is Jesus.
Some of the phrases the apostle Paul are confusing to me.
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
Can someone post the 5 steps on here??
Very astute and aticulative V.
I wonder about the actual Scriptures missing in the translations beyond the KJV... Literally not there
claim it in Jesus name Amen
I am not! a fan of yours but you did give good tips in this video.
No, we must get the absent fathers and mothers to take these classes, restoring them to their abandoned children. This must be done through love and forgiveness. Unfortunately, while the daughters were in the churches with our grandparents and mothers, our brothers really didn’t participate in the Baptist church community. It was definitely a man’s world and our brothers didn’t develop fatherhood skills.
That explains why the churches don’t know how to deal with these issues. The churches that we were raised in have changed.. Before, we had mom and pop storefronts, and the entire family worked their businesses. Children worked hard and were very respectful, and polite. Now we have rude single parents who were abandoned by their parents or verbally and physically abused, carrying on these horrible generational curses.
There is nothing new under the sun, yes, sexual predators are everywhere, including on the Hill, trying to incorporate carefree sex and public school agendas, determined to wipe out parenthood with integrity and morality. This is a terrible time to be living in America. When landmarks and guide post are put in order by Jehovah-jireh, and our politicians remove these principles, it brings disastrous consequences. Look at what is happening, this is not a coincidence. God is not dead. He is still on the throne. Wait on the Lord, I say, and continue to pray without ceasing. 🇺🇸🌎💁🏾🙏
