I just started reading the Bible, still in the beginning of Genesis, and I've gained so much wisdom already. I feel like my life questions are being answered, and I feel so at peace. Looking forward to the rest of the Bible.

I've once read someone describe the Bible not as a book but an entire library. That's a beautiful clarification. I also like how in this video it is called a beautiful work of art.

I love the BIBLE PROJECT. I use it each time I start a new chapter. I have read the entire BIBLE at lest 20 times. I love using the BIBLE PROJECT to explain the few things I am not quite sure that I am interpreting correctly. Thank you for all your fine work. The illustrations are excellent and the orator has a very pleasing and pleasant voice. Thank you again for this forum. God bless you all. 🙏🏻✝️❤️

I’ve been reading the Bible for a long time, and every time I read something new pops out to me. Bible is the Best Book in the word

I’m dyslexic and understanding/retaining what I read in the Bible is very hard. videos help me comprehend better than just reading by myself.

I now check on you after every chapter of the bible I read for historical reference and cross reference. Thank you for making God's Book come alive!

Our family has enjoyed watching your videos each night as our devotional (using the Bible app plan). It helps us explain how the Bible all fits together!

Fourteen Rules for Bible Study

1) Begin with Scriptures that are easy to understand.

2) Let the Bible interpret and prove the Bible. Don’t look for what you want to prove -
look for what the Bible actually says.

3) Understand the context—the verses before and after, and the chapters before and after.
Does your understanding of a particular verse harmonize with the rest of the Bible?

4) As much as possible, try to understand the original Hebrew or Greek. But never try to
establish doctrine or teachings by only using Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the
Bible. Strong’s can be helpful at times, but is very limited.

5) Ask: What does the Scripture clearly say?

6) Ask: What does the Scripture not say?

7) Ask: Who was the book written to?

8) Ask: Who wrote it?

9) Ask: Who said it?

10) Understand the historical time frame in which the book was written.

11) Base your study on the scriptural knowledge you already have. What do you know
up to this point in time?

12) Do not allow personal assumptions or preconceived ideas to influence your under-
standing and conclusions.

13) Do not form conclusions based on partial facts, insufficient information, or the
opinions and speculations of others.

14) Opinions—regardless of how strongly you feel about them—don’t necessarily count.
Scripture alone must be your standard and guide.
