E.W. Bullinger's 198 Appendixes; the Companion Bible ; 198 Appendixes of the Companion Bible: host ; " The Olive Branch ". The Companion Bible with appendixes is quite probably one of the most thorough study tools ever made available in one place. Bullinger takes the reader on a verse-by-verse in depth study of the scriptures, and all without the "classic" bias associated with most study Bibles. Here on line is the complete 198 Appendixes for your convenience and study aid.
E.W. Bullinger's 198 Appendixes; the Companion Bible ; this site is hosted by "The Rain" and contains the same 198 appendixes, however, it may be (a bit easier to read) better for some due to the colors of the pages and the size of the print. They have also tried to capture the original "feel" of Bullinger's writing.
Passover & the Resurrection of our LORD Jesus Christ - its "miss-translation" into the incorrect  word of "Easter"; why our traditional time frame of days just does not add up correctly with God's Word. How many days would Jesus be in the tomb? Scripture tells us three days and nights. See for yourself on a verse-by-verse study.


 

These three study bibles are, in my opinion, the best available for the study of God's Word.
Available through Amazon.com

 The Companion Bible, by E.W. Bullinger:Thumb indexed, Black Bonded Leather.

   

   

 
In this generation where technology abounds and biblical works are polluted with man's traditions, I am glad to see that a great work such as the Companion Bible by E.W. Bullinger remains unchanged. Of course, there may be very small flaws in this work but we must remember that the author was not privy to the prophecy that has taken place since its' writing. To the beginning Christian, this work offers a great amount of knowledge in providing you a plan on how to study our Fathers word as well as providing a excellent study on the meaning of Hebrew, Chaldea, and Greek words that have different meanings than what the English rendition would have you to believe. To the in depth student or scholar it provides a excellent source for studying the languages and meanings since it brings in to play text from the MASSORAH and figures of speech that are sometimes misunderstood. It also provides a section of appendixes which are rich in research and information from the only CHRISTIAN SCHOLAR that GINSBERG allowed to proof read the MASSORAH. Take it from a student and a follower of our Fathers word when I tell you that this work along with a good Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible is invaluable. It is like having a set of the original manuscripts that our Fathers word was translated from. God Bless you all.

Now,  be a little careful with these links (and prices) from Amazon.com - I will list three links, all to Amazon, but each may have a different price - all are basically the identical Bible - you choose! [ Companion Bible #1 ] [ Companion Bible #2 ] [ Companion Bible #3 ]

 

The New Geneva Study BIBLE: Black top-grain leather. Indexed.

 

    

Book Description: The first Geneva Bible opened the pages of Scripture to readers in the vernacular of the day and provided helpful notes to assist the laity in understanding its message. The New Geneva Study Bible, under the editorial leadership of reformed scholars such as R.C. Sproul and J.I. Packer, offers a modern restatement of Reformation truth. The NGSB was a great addition to my personal library. Not only is the NKJV incredibly easy to read and less watered down than most popular Bibles it is closer to the original than most. I would recommend the NGSB not only for the version it is written in but also because it contains excellent reference notes and scripture explanations. For any reformed Christian who desires to get more in-depth in their personal walk with our Living Savior I would challenge them to view or purchase the NGSB and see for themselves. Taste and see how sweet the Word of God is through this well prayed for text. R.C. Sproul is an incredible teacher of the scripture and it is all laid out for the reader in the NGSB...I've been using study bibles for two decades and I've *never* found a better one. Finally, we have a fully theologically-sound, Grace-centered study bible, with notes and essays from the best scholars (Packer, Sproul, Boice, etc.). Everyone in my church either has one or is getting one.

NOTE: If you are having problems getting the New Geneva Study Bible...try this additional link from Amazon.com, below. It is an updated, newer version of the same Bible - and - I actually like it allot!

Although this book, The Bible As It Was, below, is not a Bible, it offers more in-depth and truthful commentary than anything I have yet seen. I highly recommend getting a copy and reading it for yourself. I doubt you will be disappointed!

The Bible As It Was, by James L. Kugel

 

 
Interpretation is as old as Scripture itself.... Kugel, the Star Professor of Hebrew Literature at Harvard University, shows that what Scripture began, its readers continued. His main purpose is to provide a detailed look at how the Torah, the first five books, was interpreted in antiquity, most particularly from the third century B.C. through the first century A.D. James Kugel's The Bible As It Was is an eye-opening study of early scriptural interpretation. Kugel focuses on readings of the Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible) from 100-300 A.D., particularly the Jewish tradition of midrash--a practice of filling in the narrative gaps where biblical stories are ambiguous or unclear. Kugel's interest in midrash is more than academic, however. He wants readers to consider the ways these early readings of the Bible affect today's popular understandings of scriptural texts (such as the sacrifice of Isaac or the creation in Genesis); and he provides a convincing description of the richness and complexity that informs what seem to many like simple, commonsense readings of scripture. "The Bible as it was" is a wonderful and exhaustive work regarding scriptural interpretation and the first five books of the Bible. Early Jewish tradition was to fill in interpretive information when necessary to resolve items that were ambiguous or unclear. In addition, notes and commentary were often passed along with the texts and over time tended to become a part of the text. As a result, the Bible of today includes a lot of commentary as well as the original texts.
Kugel's purpose is to try to reconstruct the Bible as it was in its original form as closely as possible. While we all know that no copies of the original Bible exist today, the King James version was based on the Textus Receptus which was a Greek translation of the Bible and considered the oldest reliable source at the time. Since then there have been many archaeological finds of manuscripts from earlier points in time and in the original Hebrew language. Many of these passages differ somewhat from current translations. In theory, the older versions should be closer to the original version. Working from the oldest texts he examines some of the differences in the way passages were interpreted and what that could mean. This gets us closer to an original version without all the intervening thoughts and interpretations that earlier writers had added in an attempt to make it more understandable and applicable to the people of their time. Dr. Kugel thoroughly documents his work complete with quotes, sources and annotations as appropriate. A fascinating book that sheds new light onto many passages it should be read by anyone attempting a serious and scholarly study of the Bible


 

 

Beguiled By Rapture Deception- The Rapture Hoax Exposed. GET THIS BOOK! I must confess I was a rapture semi-believer prior to absorbing this book, but now I'm free of this deception thanks to Mr. Crux. Not only am I free of the lie, but all those years I was not attending church, I feel I made up for in this one book. From this single book "Beguiled by rapture deception" I have gained more knowledge and understanding of bible then the majority of my friends who have attended churches on a regular basis their entire lives. Few books offer such profound insight as this one. I have been around a long time and know a best seller when I read it, and this has best seller potential written all through it. I know the bias's that exist in the industry between the self and traditional publishing market, and it's to bad because every so often a self published book arises that demands the same recognition and attention of those quality traditional published materials and beguiled by rapture deception certainly is one of them.
I'll put my reputation on the line and say "if you stock this book I guarantee it will sell." No store wants deadwood sitting on their shelves, space is valuable and something that isn't selling is costing money. This book however I guarantee if presented in view of patrons along with the other new releases will fly off the shelves before many others do. I would also encourage everyone who reads it to support it on the internet thru advertising in homepages, websites, links etc. The cover carries the title of the Christian theme...as the serpent beguiled eve...the tile reflects the books content as does the picture...the font is elegant being easy to read...containing the crimson word "Rapture" in grabbing attention as a notable sine of warning. The cover while simple does the job in supplying all the necessary elements in proper cover design. While the cover picture could have been more hi-tech and possibly questionable or more subdued as in a Garden of Eden theme, I don't feel it could have been any better in describing the books intent and subject.
I recommend this book to everyone because the value of the content out weighs everything else. I myself plan on giving copies to others as my personal witness, so I too can gain those works Mr. Crux pointed out, that I may be clothed in works not being found naked and ashamed having none when the Lord returns, as everyone one should strive to do the same. Give a copy as your personal witness."

ATTENTION ALL THOSE AWAITING CHRIST'S RETURN:

Millions know Christ is coming soon, but did you know the Bible clearly states Satan is coming first and will be impersonating Christ when he comes? The big question is: How will you know the difference and which one will you follow?If you think you will be "flying out of here" (the rapture), before the arrival of Satan, you are sadly mistaken. It is the biggest lie ever propagated against humanity. Our Father wants you to know His plan. He has foretold you ALL things in His letter to you, the Bible.

All you may be missing is a good "teacher" or "shepherd" to help you learn what the original manuscripts (from which the Bible was taken) really had to say, and how to document (verify) that information. Father has provided just such a person, in this final generation, to show you the simplicity within His Word; one who will teach you The Truth, NOT the traditions of men. His name is Pastor Arnold Murray and his church is Shepherd's Chapel. His unique way of teaching Father's Word, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, can literally change your life.

I would like to help you find The Way and your path to the Shepherd's Chapel broadcasts, featuring the life-saving teachings of Pastor Arnold Murray. Please go directly to the Shepherd's Chapel link below. What you do now may very well determine your place in eternity. Think about it.

 

These links, are to Christian Sites that I have personally viewed:

 

The Shepherd's Chapel, with Pastor Arnold Murray - my teacher...one of the most informative learning experiences concerning the truth of God's Word that I could ever recommend. Please take the time to visit the site, and better, start the study of GOD'S true word through listening and learning with Pastor Murray.

HisRemnant.org, The Rapture Lie - from the excellent website of "HisRemnant.org". This is a must-read page! How can we put it more clearly? THERE IS NO RAPTURE!

Watchman Bible Study - this has become my favorite site! I have yet seen a more fully and well-written site on the internet. Nick Goggin has done a miraculous job, here. Nick has also studied under Pastor Arnold Murray from Shepherd's Chapel. If you want to know what is really written in the Bible and more fully understand God's Word - then this is your site. A 100% totally comprehensive Christian study guide. Now more than ever, with us firmly in the Generation of The Fig Tree, and firmly in the "last days," you need to absorb, understand, and digest this information. Go over the entire website - there is so much great information here, all I can say is to set aside enough time and bookmark the site for further study. Nick Goggin has done a brilliant job with this site - again - this is a must-visit website!!!

Find God Now, another fantastic website debunking the rapture (lie!). Please - read through this site, and the many others - you need to know the truth about these miraculous end times that we are in.

Christian Bible Study and Games - another outstanding Christian website proclaiming the truth of God's Word. No rapture...never was, and never will be. Read it for yourself. Please don't be fooled and tricked into believing a lie.

The Left Behind Lie, from the fantastic website exposing the "left behind" series of books for what they are - lies! Twenty questions with answers on why there is no rapture. The site even has a book coming out in an attempt to bring to the Christian public the truth about the abominable books of the "Left Behind" series. I just wonder what it will feel like on judgment day for those who persuaded innocents to believe in a rapture lie. One word comes to mind - TOAST.

Rapture? NO! - a very well documented (naturally so, as the basis for all quotes are from the Word of God - the Bible) and easy to follow. Rapture? No...no...no! Well worth reading, with some nice gif image animation.

Rapture; Escape or Tragedy?! - nice job on all the facts. No mincing words, here. A very nice site.

The LORD'S Words: Verses and Parables Explained , This is quite probably my second personal favorite site. Parables or stories, verses and scripture of God and Jesus Christ have been explained in documents, using the King James Bible, to make the Lord's words and your Bible study, easier to understand. Over 70 topics for you to read and/or study. Documents include:- Parable of the Sower; Parable of the Kingdom and the Sower; The Prodigal Son; Sword of the Spirit - Word of God; Sign, Mark and Seal of God; Four Horses of Revelation; Famine/Hunger; Ten Commandments; and many more. Many of the documents will cross reference with each other, as many of God's stories cross reference with each other.

Bible Prophesies for the World Today , This index leads to more than 60 articles, on the Bible, our past, our present and our future. All our information is free, I believe the Lords words should always be free. There are hundreds of Bible quotes explained. There are no fancy graphics or pictures. Read your Bible, check up on me, time is growing very short, wipe the dust from your Bible, it contains a wealth of information.  I sincerely hope that the material contained on these pages will help you to understand the Bible better, and that you will make every effort to do so. It will require much reading of the Bible, many times over, before you will understand it. Many people believe that a last minute effort is enough to protect them,.....it isn't.  Are you open-minded enough to set aside your beliefs? to accept what the Bible actually says?. Can you choose between what you have been taught to believe and what the Bible says. Religion and the Bible do not in many cases say the same thing. Religion has turned to telling you what you want to hear, if they told you the truth you would leave. Perhaps you can.... but it will not be easy for you. The King James Bible is used in all cases.

The Plough - This site is an excellent Christian website. On-line Bible study, and wonderful insight on God's view.

Bible.net - This is a big favorite. Complete with on-line study tools, on-line bibles, thesarious...just about everything you could want in a truly Christian based web page. Definitely worth a visit.

ShepChap Home Page - A very special ministry and dear to my heart is the Email List and fellowship of Gil and Sher's "SHEPCHAP Group". Working in His field is a blessing when you have company like this! What am I speaking of? You will have to click on the link to find out!

A growing section at this site not to be missed is that of the Companion Bible Indexes, by E.W.

God Did Not Create Evil, Cold or Darkness:

 Romans 1:18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. 21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.


Conversation:

1 Peter 3:14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear ; do not be frightened." 15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.



The Shepherd's Chapel,
Pastor Arnold Murray
