Many of my families prizes possessions are marked up Bibles of our family members who have gone on to be with the Lord. Its great to flip through and see thier insights over the decades of life.
Yes! I knew I recognized something in you. I am also a fan of the fountain pen. I love pen, ink and paper, and bibles. I really enjoy your videos also.
I do not write much in my Bibles but I am starting to write a little more so thanks for the information on the pens. I do use a lot of sticky notes in my Bibles. I use translucent ones when I preach.
2 problems I have with marking up my Bible: 1) When I feel a sense of pride in how annotated my Bible appears. Am I doing it for me or to impress others? I combat this by only taking unmarked Bibles when others will see me. 2) Do I want to draw my attention to what spoke to me the last time or do I want to let the Word speak to me each time I read it in that moment? I deal with this by having multiple Bibles, some I mark up and some I don’t.
I now add my notes permanetly into my bible now. It could be adding notes to the margins, or gluing notes in between the pages. My bible is currently getting rebound now because it was falling apart from so much use. Im entertaining the idea to get an interleaved Bible as every other page is blank. I use my bible to study and dive in.
I didn’t write in my Bible, or any book, for years. It just didn’t seem right. Then I took a Precept class. For a long time I just used the worksheets. But I took the plunge. I wouldn’t call my Bible pretty or particularly well-organized, but it’s been good for me to help me read slowly and try to digest things.
I really enjoy using highlighters to mark up my bible. I have a color coded system and give each color a meaning. I also use color coded sticky notes. Hopefully, after I pass someone will discover it and love it as much as I have.
It's seems to me that how your Bible is marked depends on your calling. I generally focus on apologetics so markings will be common scripture that is used by LDS, JW, etc. and notes next to them for supporting passages. Whatever helps you to remember and share His word. Thanks for this video, it helps us to think about these things.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on marking the Bible. I will try the scripture journal. Although in the long run they are expensive if you buy all 66 books. Have you thought about highlighting aka underlining in one color. Like pigma micron yellow. Or highlighting with the crayola twistable pencil in yellow. I find them not to be overly waxy. The twistable crayon is less precise. They don’t bleed through the next page. I am not sure how gel pens hold up after years of use. If the ink will eventually bleed through the pages. I use one color yellow highlight verse write down in the margin where the next Bible verse will be with a pigma micron. I also underline a word I don’t know and write a synonym in the margin. I might also paraphrase a verse that sticks out in the margin. Blessing to you Pastor and brother in Christ.
I don't mark up my Bible anymore especially marking versus with a highlighter because when I mark it up I stop reading it. However writing notes in the margins or on Note pages within the Bible and keeping a journal is something I might get back into
I write and highlight in my cheaper Bibles Any verse that pops out for me, I will highlight it and write a brief note near it. I can't bring myself to do that with my premiums; at least not now.
I did a lot of highlighting in my first Bible. I made it look terrible. I'll never mark up another Bible. I'd rather just memorize where my favorite verses are or use bookmarks. I don't think it's wrong or bad for people to mark up their bibles if it helps them study. It really didn't help me.
Colton, herein is a response that I included about a Bible review you did about the latest ESV. May I humbly suggest that you stop reviewing Bibles and feeding the frenzy that now exists within the community about Bibles? IMHO it is a slippery slope for you or any other Christian creator to be on. What legitimate Godly purpose does it serve? It only serves to support a billion dollar publishing industry. "Yes we all know it's about money. There is no need for many, many translations supported by endless updates. This is marketing the "secret sauce" about Jesus. No one would go through this many versions of any translation except to increase sales. Jesus and Bible verve become big business and has nothing to do with saving souls. How many websites do nothing but compare and review Bibles. We all become complicit buying the latest and best and spend endless hours looking at Bibles setting on helves with pride... . leather bound, font size, margins for note taking, so many ribbons, soft or hard cover, gold leaf name on front... this is Satan's work. Honor, venerate, collect and compare and somehow think that is what God is about. The Jews have one Bible often encased in jewelry as an annotation to the value of the words within, but not to celebrate it being this version or that. Doesn't God want us to read, study and know the word? Will he ask if you preferred the KJV, ESV, CSB or any other version of the message he left us. I have a 1928 study Bible that is printed with colored sections about prayer, promises etc. Funny thing is this; it says exactly the same thing other Bibles say and works just fine. What is happening in the Christian Community in America is a distraction and false sense of piety by buying the latest publication called a Bible. Madness on a good day, wilful sinning on any other day. Do not lift up your Bible as an icon for any reason. It is the Word of God, regardless of the publicist or way it is presented. Stop It!!

Glad I found another uniball 207 fan 👍
Right on!

Sure? It's just paper after all.
When you said “workhorse”, I paused the video and gave it a thumbs up because that’s why I chose to mark in my Thomas Nelson Premier Collection.
Right on!

Those little journals are great.
I love this topic.
Those journals look awesome! Getting some of those
They are!
@@coltonyarbro What church do you teach and preach at? How long have you been in ministry?

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I have a wide margin Bible which enables me to add cross references and comments
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recommend Sanford Bible Pencils...just test them in the back part of your concordance to see if your paper is too thin.

975 as of this comment!!!
I always felt strange writing in my bibles. I usually have a journal near by if I have any ideas or notes.
theres no need to mark the bible itself make notes separately, for me personally
To each their own.
I write and highlight in my cheaper Bibles Any verse that pops out for me, I will highlight it and write a brief note near it. I can't bring myself to do that with my premiums; at least not now.
@@joyg7575 that’s understandable.
That rebound bible is beautiful! I have a well used 40 year old bible that I'm looking to rebound, can you recommend anyone?
Rustic leather works is who did mine and they did a great job.
Fountian Pens for life
Yes!

@@InkRavenLion it’s definitely not for everyone. Thanks for sharing your experience.

The answer is no, you should not write in a bible. Or any other book either.
Fair enough. I disagree.
Cat Woods is great and Jeremiah 23:18 KJV says... Who hath marked His Word and heard it?
I’ve seen some of Cat’s content as well! Very artsy!
@@coltonyarbro yeah she even art gilds her Bibles! I've watched some of those videos and been taking notes so hopefully I can do it myself one day. 😁
