It concerns me some of the comments I already see in this video, it makes me wonder if they even watched it. Don't let the haters get you down Tim, you know in your heart you are being honest and true to God's word.
Republican, Democrat, Independent...whatever. We are all Children of God. Nothing should be added or taken away from the Bible. I agree with you there Tim. Not a Bible I personally would own; but as always I thank you for your time.
@@jdc1264 well I'm sorry for jumping to assumptions. But everyone one day will be a believer. Every knee shall bow and everyone will eventually know the truth. Where we stand now determines where we stand then but I like to think there is no such things as non-believers just not right now believers. All I can do as a Christian is keep spreading the good news and gospel. Sorry for my poor wording I forget dissent and discourse is preferred in this day and age. We would rather tear each other apart then lift one another up. We would rather be unforgiving then understanding.
Thanks Tim, for following up to answer people’s questions. I agree with you on the general dislike for “patriotic” type Bibles. I think your original review was spot on and find no political motivation behind it. Keep doing what you do.
You're absolutely right about the fruit of the spirit. There are many who profess to be Christian but don't exhibit those qualities. Thank you for your insightful reviews and God bless you and your family.
I appreciate your total honesty and clarity. You could not have been more clear about the quality of this Bible. And since that is what I believe you are fully qualified in doing....thank you!
As a Canadian, I enjoyed your initial balanced view of this particular Bible. It seems to have attracted polarizing views that are based primarily on people's political identity. The hate-fuelled "us" versus "them" rhetoric is becoming a world-wide problem. Your final words in today's video re the fruit of the Spirit are a good test of how we should act and speak. Thank you!
@ I argue for the contrary. To ignore the effect this man has is to be an idiot. I will tell you this, I did not start paying attention to him at the start of his political carreer. And quite frankly, you're trying to downplay the reflection of a weakness/poison humanity has to deal with for millenia which has caused much conflict. Here's the truth. If we are to believe your words, Trump and people like him will become dictators and allowed to profit as much as they want from the people who need service the most. And you're basically giving the attitude of "do nothing" because he's not as much of a threat at all. Stupidity and narcissism with power, is like glorifying a bully at high school. It's not good for anyone and people are going to suffer for it. Trump is easily comparable with how Mussolini handled things. Same sort of speech, narcissism, misogynic attitude, hating of minorities, ideas of grandiose plans (of f.e. expansion and becoming Rome 2.0), boasting (and lying about) selfimage and snowflake attitude. With Trump you can add selfenrichment without regard of the poor, but at least Trump won't want people to be exterminated, at least not directly. He does not believe in war, but not for the same reason I do not like war. He does not know what it means to sacrifice for other people. And that person is going to sit once again in the Oval Office. No sir, you are also part of the victims, but in a different way.
Tim, thanks for your honesty and clarity in your videos. With the popularity of your channel over the past year it’s expected to get some backlash, especially from an each side of the political spectrum. Keep being faithful brother to your ministry and this channel that is all about the Bible and how it transforms the lives of everyone who reads it. Praying for you brother and enjoy your vacation time!
When you do your homework, there is no denying it. Tim has done that! He is answering questions and being honest and transparent about this particular bible. Thank you for your intelligence and taking the time to explain it to us. May you continue to be blessed! 😎❤️😇✝️🙏🏼💕
The three Tims are equally kind, caring, and graceful, but for some reason you are the only one consistently getting involved in online controversies (without intending to). 😂😂
Keep your head up Tim. Politics, on both sides of the aisle have become a type of religion in our country and you dared criticize someone's idol. When we do that as preachers and pastors people often get upset and respond with vitriol. Which it sounds like you've experienced. You're doing a great job and providing a great service to people. I've bought and not bought certain Bibles based on your reviews. Don't let the naysayers get you down. Also, great reminder regarding Christian behavior and the fruit of the spirit.
Oh, that is a funny error! Just FYI, in typesetting, a fragment of text that falls at the top of the page separate from its paragraph is called a widow. And book designers try to avoid them. It sounds like the typesetter didn’t realize that it was a widow, and thought it was a head.
(I mention it because I know you’re a little bit of a book nerd, and I thought you would enjoy knowing that. Relatedly, a single line that appears at the bottom of the page is called an orphan.)
Tim, Thank you for your sincerity and honesty. Please know that MANY people benefit from your excellent, unbiased reviews of various Bible publications. Your review of this Bible was also honest and informative and no different from any other review.. I personally have learned a great deal from you and am very thankful for you and your efforts. May the Lord Bless you, brother.
@royalpriest89 going to the added expense of having this Bible printed in the US and then not labeling it "Printed in the USA", is like a Porsche dealer taking all the Porsche badges off his cars before he sells them. It just doesn't make any sense.
That's my thought as well. It's too big of an opportunity to be missed that could not be used as a selling point, if it actually was printed in the USA. Neither on the website nor in the Bible it's being mentioned and taken that the "leather" is not genuine and not mentioned it isn't... makes the lack of mentioning the place of printing all the more suspicious.
According to The American Prospect Newsletter website, the Trump Bible was printed in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou by the New Ade printing company. It cost $3 to make and sold for $59.95 + tax and shipping totaling to over $74.
The 'Power of Impeachment' error is almost positive proof it is printed in a country that is not an English-as-a-first-language country. There's almost no chance that gets missed by an English-speaking editor. (And if it did, she should be fired.)
As a french marxist, I like your videos and the honesty you put in it. The Trump Bible video was the first I saw, but it was just the entrance door and I'm very pleased by all the others that I am discovering for a few weeks now ! Like Lenin said: "There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”".
Nothing is to be added to or subtracted from God’s word. I for one intend obey what He says. Thank you for your Bible reviews. I am looking forward to your book which I have preordered.
Great follow up video, I enjoyed the first one, but hadn't heard of any controversy. I enjoyed this video too, and I'm sorry so many people came out against you. Its social media, everyone gets attacked sooner or later by ridiculous claims. Keep reviewing Bibles and ill keep watching, terrific job and I can't wait until your book comes out!
I can see there’s a lot of new people in the comments. We welcome you to Tim’s channel where we enjoy Bible reviews of all types. This isn’t a political channel and he doesn’t make it appear that way. Just a guy giving his honest reviews on bibles we ask about. Enjoy!
What a fun video! A great catch and humorous connotation on the “Power of Impeachment” typo! And YES to your interpretation of the “Fruit of the Spirit” too. Thank you!
I appreciate you defending what was a very balanced video. People are so keyed up and ready to fight, it takes courage to maintain even a civil stance.
I really appreciate the time you take on your reviews. I have purchased a couple of Bibles that you have recommended- most recently the CSB Holy Land Illustrated Bible, which is lovely, I’m really enjoying it. I hope that the negativity doesn’t discourage you from continuing to provide Bible reviews, as I find your comments both informative and helpful.
“Am I a Democrat?” (The Apprentice style zoom in) “No” - great review but for those of us who love you brother there was never a doubt about your loyalties to the Kingdom of God.
If anyone has watched you very long they should know you were just being objective about the material makeup of this Bible. It is what it is & as always I think you did a good job reviewing this. As you said we can all agree to disagree on nonessential things. I personally think if you are sticking wholeheartedly to not adding them Bibles should be text only (no presentation page no index, no study Bibles just the scripture then have a company as they do sell a commentary to go with it). I say that as a person who owns many study Bibles, and two “Patriotic Bibles” the two I own simply weave in text & other Christian influences on our founding & history. Much like the C S Lewis Bible weaves in some of his writings & the Spurgeon Bible does. At the end of the day we don’t have to see eye to eye on it all. But people should not be calling into question Tim’s integrity & is hope anyone who has watched him over time truly knows better.
As far as "patriotic Bibles" go, the one I've found that's actually tasteful is the _Faith and Liberty Bible_ from the American Bible Society. It focuses on the impact that the Bible has had on various aspects of American thought without being heavy-handed in its patriotism or dishonest about the range of beliefs (and disbeliefs) among prominent American figures who took inspiration from the Bible.
I know some people who have gotten it and to them it is worth the price. For me it isn't. I think Mr. Wildsmith is doing his thing with the reviews. Giving a review based on quality and materials not on emotion. Would I get a copy? No. But if someone wants to spend the money to get it because they like the idea of it.... thats fine with me
Yet again, as is your nature, an objective review void of emotionalism. Good on you, pastor Tim. I so hope this is the last we ever hear about this mess. Lord, please, help us all.
WTG Brother Tim! I’m a bible nerd and love a good synthetic leather like bible. I agree there are good ones and there are cheesy ones. Thanks for your time and input 💕🇺🇸✝️💟
I am one that is very thankful for the Trump bible, not because of the ludicrous idea of a bible endorsed by any political personality but I learned of your site. I enjoyed your review it was honest and insightful and not at all political. I myself can never have enough Bibles, (I am a big note taker and study nerd)! So in short I subscribed, tell the Monster thanks for site traffic 😁
Really appreciated the way you responded to some of the commenters you apparently have received. I wish some people would remember the golden rule “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. OR as I once saw somewhere “ treat others as if you were the ‘others’ “. Too much negativity and hate in the world. God Bless you. God Bless USA. 🙏 Ruth
Church reduced to a 20% level. A country that turned on Christ. The Bible is priceless. If a consumer wants to spend 3 dollars at goodwill or 70$ from an online sale, I would say the purchase is a win. The other part is they need to read it. It's interesting how Nike shoes are about 5$ in materials, and people purchase those for hundreds. Good review, but I would like to have heard something about buying a Bible and using it in people's daily life. Over all I give your review of the Bible a 4. Good job and God bless.
Good to have an opinion. I guess the positive thing that is brought up is that millions of people are talking about the Bible on platforms or TV programs that wouldn't. There is something about getting into the collective consciousness and planting seeds.
If this is a Bible that can get people actually motivated to read the Bible, I think thats a good thing. There are other Bibles like the Founders Bible or The American Patriots Bible that have similar aspects in it with the documents . I dont see reviews of those on this channel.
I nominate myself to get the CSB Notetaking Bible for my youth pastor or myself if he doesn't want it. He typically uses the ESV most of the time so I don't know if he'll take it or not; but if I win it I'll be sure to put it to good use because I believe that notetakers are world changers and history makers!!!🕊🔥🙏❤😇
The American documents added are not intertwined with God's Word. Also, I own the beautiful "The Word-In-Life Study Bible" Copyright 1996, Thomas Nelson Publishers- NKJV. It is so filled with extras- making it 2455 pages. The extra content-just like the extras in the Bible you just reviewed again, have made no changes to the actual Word. I said in a comment I made earlier that the KJV writers did the best they could to bring us God's Word in a way it could be carried and understood. Versions since then (for the most part) have brought God's Word to a place of somewhat better understanding. However, when I go back to the original Greek-Hebrew-Aramaic, there are great differences that I find in my study time. With that said, I agree concerning the quality- cheap. I have my thoughts about made in China- I think it was, simply because of the quality. I own it- probably would not buy it if I had to do it over- yet some people buy Trump bobble dolls- I buy Bibles. Just saying- Thanks for the updated review-
Pretty much agree. I DO NOT like political/patriotic Bibles or those endorsed by certain pastors. I have owned and disposed of such. They are embarrassing. It IS too bad that the quality was horrible, though.
The Bible is The Holy Bible alone! And Jesus Christ said: “Absolutely nothing is ever to added to or taken out/away from His Divine Word!” Everybody needs to know/understand this direct very serious message straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ Himself! Don’t be fooled nor playing with fire here!
I hope this gets as many views as the original one. Though I don’t think it will get the same media attention because Kimmel and others are not interested in what you actually said. Keep up the good work.
I didn't even notice any issues with this. I thought it was fine since King James made a version. I thought it was nice that Trump was bringing attention to the WORD. I'm still not sure how to feel about this. Because Trump selling this Bible could have brought a lot of people to JESUS. Those people might not have read the Bible, but since Trump made it and they look up to him, they bought it to support him. And then after reading for a bit, they might have given their life to JESUS. I was hopeful that it wasn't a bad thing. I'm not sure now though. Edit: I agree that the constitution and declaration of independence should not be in the Bible. King James never put English law in the Bible. Only the laws and commandments GOD gave us. ❤️
I saw the original video and I honestly believe you gave a fair assessment of the God bless the USA Bible. When you do the closed up we could see the poor quality of the leather, we witness the pages stuck together. We all our political views and those were not discuss at any moment. Thank you for review this and all bibles with honestly and integrity.
Dang people! He's just giving his honest review of the PHYSICAL quality of a BOOK! Forget that it's a Bible and just make believe it's a cookbook or romance novel and think in terms of the paper thickness, printing, binding, etc. Sheesh!
I used your video as a basis for my own review which can be found on Wordpress as : Disappointment of Biblical Proportions (a review of the Trump Bible)
I mainly read the Bible on an iPad these days as they can hold a lot of content in a convenient package for reading and studying. We have a lot of older Bibles and I am interested in new translations so this channel is interesting to me. I also don't mind learning about the technical details about construction and print. The content is more important than the packaging but I can spend a little time learning about the packaging, and it's fun. You seem to be a professional reviewer from my perspective. I've worked a long career and have the requisite graduate degree yet people argue with me about what I did professionally on social media where they have no training and background. Everyone is an expert with Google and Wikipedia.
What would Jesus say about adding pages between those faux leather covers? Maybe something like "Render unto Caesar ..." or "My kingdom is not of this world". Or maybe He would refer to those last few paragraphs of Revelation about adding to this book. Or maybe just shake his head sadly like I did when I heard about all this.
Tim, I'm happy to hear that no verses have been altered, and nothing new added. But please take a look at Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 to make sure that the Ten Commandments haven't been removed or redacted. (I'm asking for a friend.)
Confirmed: Trump Bible Made in China - ruclips.net/user/shortsvWPAKCJN6q4?feature=share

Lol this entire review story has been hilarious, honestly. 😆 Love your content bro.
If it was printed in United States it would loudly and proudly say it was on the Inside. But it isnt.
And, the flip side to this is that if it wasn't printed in the USA, it is legally required to say that somewhere on the finished product.
An argument from silence is never a good one
@royalpriest89 going to the added expense of having this Bible printed in the US and then not labeling it "Printed in the USA", is like a Porsche dealer taking all the Porsche badges off his cars before he sells them. It just doesn't make any sense.

If this is a Bible that can get people actually motivated to read the Bible, I think thats a good thing. There are other Bibles like the Founders Bible or The American Patriots Bible that have similar aspects in it with the documents . I dont see reviews of those on this channel.
Great Video again, Tim! 🦬 🌳🌳🌳
I am a Democrat and love your reviews. GOOD JOB I recently purchased a premium bible from Thomas Nelson in NKJV.
Good followup
Thanks!
A kind comment for you ❤
I nominate myself to get the CSB Notetaking Bible for my youth pastor or myself if he doesn't want it. He typically uses the ESV most of the time so I don't know if he'll take it or not; but if I win it I'll be sure to put it to good use because I believe that notetakers are world changers and history makers!!!🕊🔥🙏❤😇
Well done, Tim.
Thanks Tim!!
You bet!
Hi Tim, Hope you are doing well. Would you be willing to do a video on what are, in your opinion, the best bibles to give as gifts in 2024?
Sure!
Well done Tim!
The American documents added are not intertwined with God's Word. Also, I own the beautiful "The Word-In-Life Study Bible" Copyright 1996, Thomas Nelson Publishers- NKJV. It is so filled with extras- making it 2455 pages. The extra content-just like the extras in the Bible you just reviewed again, have made no changes to the actual Word. I said in a comment I made earlier that the KJV writers did the best they could to bring us God's Word in a way it could be carried and understood. Versions since then (for the most part) have brought God's Word to a place of somewhat better understanding. However, when I go back to the original Greek-Hebrew-Aramaic, there are great differences that I find in my study time. With that said, I agree concerning the quality- cheap. I have my thoughts about made in China- I think it was, simply because of the quality. I own it- probably would not buy it if I had to do it over- yet some people buy Trump bobble dolls- I buy Bibles. Just saying- Thanks for the updated review-
Very balanced video, Tim.
Tim please review the Holman Spurgeon Study Bible!! I ask on every video! Lol
The bible is read under more than one flag and the flag is flown by more than one religion. This is an insult to both.
Pretty much agree. I DO NOT like political/patriotic Bibles or those endorsed by certain pastors. I have owned and disposed of such. They are embarrassing.
It IS too bad that the quality was horrible, though.
@@pkmcnett5649 yes I agree. For those that want this and paid good money in a hard economy they should have at least gotten something reasonable.
The Bible is The Holy Bible alone! And Jesus Christ said: “Absolutely nothing is ever to added to or taken out/away from His Divine Word!” Everybody needs to know/understand this direct very serious message straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ Himself! Don’t be fooled nor playing with fire here!
I hope this gets as many views as the original one. Though I don’t think it will get the same media attention because Kimmel and others are not interested in what you actually said. Keep up the good work.
thank you
I didn't even notice any issues with this. I thought it was fine since King James made a version. I thought it was nice that Trump was bringing attention to the WORD. I'm still not sure how to feel about this. Because Trump selling this Bible could have brought a lot of people to JESUS. Those people might not have read the Bible, but since Trump made it and they look up to him, they bought it to support him. And then after reading for a bit, they might have given their life to JESUS. I was hopeful that it wasn't a bad thing. I'm not sure now though.
Edit: I agree that the constitution and declaration of independence should not be in the Bible. King James never put English law in the Bible. Only the laws and commandments GOD gave us. ❤️
Which talk show will this episode be on?
I saw the original video and I honestly believe you gave a fair assessment of the God bless the USA Bible. When you do the closed up we could see the poor quality of the leather, we witness the pages stuck together. We all our political views and those were not discuss at any moment. Thank you for review this and all bibles with honestly and integrity.
Dang people! He's just giving his honest review of the PHYSICAL quality of a BOOK!
Forget that it's a Bible and just make believe it's a cookbook or romance novel and think in terms of the paper thickness, printing, binding, etc. Sheesh!
Where can I buy this bible? It does not seem to be available online. Was the publishing stopped?
I used your video as a basis for my own review which can be found on Wordpress as : Disappointment of Biblical Proportions (a review of the Trump Bible)
I mainly read the Bible on an iPad these days as they can hold a lot of content in a convenient package for reading and studying. We have a lot of older Bibles and I am interested in new translations so this channel is interesting to me. I also don't mind learning about the technical details about construction and print. The content is more important than the packaging but I can spend a little time learning about the packaging, and it's fun.
You seem to be a professional reviewer from my perspective.
I've worked a long career and have the requisite graduate degree yet people argue with me about what I did professionally on social media where they have no training and background. Everyone is an expert with Google and Wikipedia.
What would Jesus say about adding pages between those faux leather covers? Maybe something like "Render unto Caesar ..." or "My kingdom is not of this world". Or maybe He would refer to those last few paragraphs of Revelation about adding to this book. Or maybe just shake his head sadly like I did when I heard about all this.
No one did that.
Would love to see you review the reformation study bible from ligonier ministries.
While I get not adding to the Bible...... What translation is it? Is it a standard translation or something odd?
Know the truth & the teuth will set you free.
And don't tell no lies, 'cause lies will find you dead.
God Bless USA Bible! God Bless Brazil! King James have a King James Bible in Portuguese! This is amazing!
It'd make no sense to have a KJV in another language lol.
Tim, I'm happy to hear that no verses have been altered, and nothing new added. But please take a look at Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 to make sure that the Ten Commandments haven't been removed or redacted. (I'm asking for a friend.)
Ha - that "power of impeachment" typo is indeed hilarious! Freudian slip?
😉
That was my first thought. 😅
Ok, can you do a review on what bibles you use to take to church?
Good idea!
@@timwildsmith It’s going to be good! 👍
i rather have a kjv bible then no bible
