This comes the closest of the system I use. I use the Green, Red and Blue the same. My yellow is a lighter don’t do/avoid, red being more serious. Then I have two colors extra: * purple is any/all memorization verses. * orange is for any grand theme/main point, lesson from God. Great video!
Thanks for sharing what you use! I hope you can share your method with lots of other people to help them understand God's Word better, too. Keep reading!
Personally I have not. That could be because of the quality of the pages in the Bible I have or that I use the prismacolor pencils, so I won't say that it can't happen if someone has a different Bible or uses different pencils. You could also use an electronic Bible, and highlight with these colors...no smudges ever!
Thanks for this! Very timely! I'm just waiting on a new Bible to arrive and now I have a great plan to mark it. I usually tend to go a bit overboard with colour and it just ends up looking messy with no rhyme nor reason to it. This will get me off to a great start!
As a new believer I watch many videos on how to highlight the Bible. There are many ways, all good, but THIS one is the one that makes the most sense to me and I find it highly helpful. Thank you very much!
The Prisma color premier soft colored pencils are ThE BEST for marking in your Scriptures!!! I have an extensive color coding system using over 25 colors. I even have a spreadsheet for tracking the colors and by doing 4 different things with one color, I increase the number of color references I can have. Example - with one color, you can choose to either underline, circle, solid color or put a block around a word. That is 4 category options. My Scripture is so easy to find passages and the colors help to retain what the passage is about.
I finally found a system that I want to use! Thank you! I’ve watched many different videos and ideas but they were more complicated than I wanted to do at this time.
Similar to what I do but I underline or box sections in colored pens. Red for bad example avoid, red for good example or something commanded. Orange for the Word. Green for salvation, justification through faith, predestination. Blue for baptism. Purple for the humanity/divinotybof God, or his attributes, omnipresent, doesn’t lie
I had a rainbow bible but some of the colors looked the same. Sin was marked in gray, history was in silver. To me and my warm lighting it looked similar. Book wasn't red letter, instead what Christ said was underlined. I enjoyed the rainbow bible so much i gave one sister a copy for her birthday and the other borrowed my bible and i never got it back! 😂😅 I would use a different coloring system instead with my new Bible (not a rainbow version, just a regular plain one)
It sounds like you learned a lot with the color coded system you had in the rainbow Bible. Hope you continue reading and making observations in your new Bible! 👍🏻
Wow! It’s Feb. 12, 2024. (2-12-24, 2 x 12 = 24)-3 years after the video was published. I am blown away by this simple color-coding system. Your video was short, sweet and to the point with helpful graphics. I’m grateful to God that I found this video! Thanks for sharing! 😊
I do something similar. Yellow is for Jesus and God's attributes, green is for interesting things, orange is for warfare, pink for promises, and blue for family.
Once a large number of passages have been marked the white parts become more important. I prefer to mark the words Jesus in red. I will need to pick another color for stop.
Sounds like this wouldn't be the best method for you to use. Maybe you could modify it: use a notebook with the colors as headings at the top of the page. When you come across a verse that fits that color, you could write it down on that page. That way you don't mark in your Bible, but you can still use the colors to help you make important observations. I often use an electronic version that makes it easier to use the colors. Hope these alternate ideas help!
Your video from 3 years ago is still going strong! It showed up today and it's a great color code. ❤Thanks!
Glad you found it useful! Thanks for your encouraging words.👍🏻

Mr. Pen gel highlighters work well, they don't bleed.
Great to know--thanks for sharing!
Have you ever noticed any ill effects using these pencils like smudging, transferring to the opposite page when the Bible was closed, etc.?
Personally I have not. That could be because of the quality of the pages in the Bible I have or that I use the prismacolor pencils, so I won't say that it can't happen if someone has a different Bible or uses different pencils.
You could also use an electronic Bible, and highlight with these colors...no smudges ever!
Jeff Cavins a Bible scholar talks about using colored pencils to outline the Bible.
Sounds like a useful method!
Jeff Cavins is awesome.
I would add one more color. Purple, for the attributes and names of God.
That's a wonderful thing to highlight as you read through the Bible. Thanks.
Thanks for this! Very timely! I'm just waiting on a new Bible to arrive and now I have a great plan to mark it. I usually tend to go a bit overboard with colour and it just ends up looking messy with no rhyme nor reason to it. This will get me off to a great start!
I hope that becomes a special Bible as you begin to use this simple method to see new connections. Blessings!

Great ideas for expanding on the basic four colors! Maybe you can do a video to explain how you use the 25 colors! Thanks for sharing.

In thr NT of my Bible the words of Jesus are red.
Switching to like brown

Use pink
Nice training - thanks

@@StrongHands10 ya it’s a great way to code different passages for later reference.
God Bless you.
I don’t understand people marking up, defacing their Bibles. I would throw away any book that s marked up. All my books must be pristine.
Sounds like this wouldn't be the best method for you to use.
