SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONS & UPDATES ... and GETTING STARTED info ... Instructions for DOWNLOADING ... go to the Menu, and select Documents > Bible Study to get to the list, OR just paste "Documents - JimDean-StudyStuff - Faithlife" into the URL field. This Faithlife Group will have a wide variety of info ... but initially at least, most will relate to using organized Marking methods for various sets of study themes (Systematic Theology, Literary Types, Notable Grammar, etc). Each Theme will have highlighting color-Styles assigned to specific Categories ... those highlight-styles will be individually saved in a Notebook for that Category (that is, 27 Notebooks). ALL highlighting done for that Category should be one-click attached (as an implicit or explicit Note) to that Notebook. This allows future review of that Category as a marking-"Layer" on the Bible, which can be *** toggled on or off ***. One of the Attachments shows how I've set up those 27 Notebooks, so that they stay in the proper order, and are skinny-names so they don't take up much screen space. TWO NEW custom palettes have been added for download, and TWO PRIOR ones have been UPDATED. See attached list of downloads, and note the Dates ... if you've previously downloaded any that show a "broken link" symbol, that probably means your copy needs updating (or that it automatically did). The new palettes, and the modifications to existing ones, all are related to the Themes & Categories color-chart that is also attached ... this has been significantly expanded and polished since my prior post about it, and I firmly believe it is *finished* now. The palettes with names that begin "10 Theme..." relate to the second column of the chart, and the "27 Categ ..." palettes relate to the third column of the chart. The 10-Theme options provide background or underline or foreground-text coloring. The 27-Category options are background or underline ... no foreground text since the light shades would be too hard to read. Fwiw ... I like the underline options best for the 27-Category, since their style varies (solid, dash, dot) as well as the color. For completeness, I've also attached the snapshots of those new and edited lists ... plus all the prior ones so that this post can replace the earlier Pinned post for new folks who join. If you'd like to see a YouTube video that explains how the colors are used, go to www.youtube.com/@jimdean4jesus/podcasts and watch the first video of the "Topical-Chain: Humility (+Color-Theme Highlighting)" playlist. I explain the chart a bit, and show how various colors might be used in some of the verses that we cover in that session ... including WHY those colors are used in those places. That playlist is also attached to a podcast that will have new sessions added as the meetings continue. (There is no charge for any of this.)
Jim Dean, for Jesus!
This YouTube channel is focused on sharing information about the Bible ... the God-breathed, sole, inerrant and complete special revelation given to us. Jesus the Christ is Himself God and Lord of all ... He is the Person of the tri-une God through which God's Word is given ... John 1 represents Him *as* the Word of God itself. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit, who is another Person of the tri-une God, is given to everyone who wholly trusts in the work of Jesus for eternal, secure salvation ... Jesus promised the disciples to *send* the Holy Spirit to be not just with/alongside them, as Jesus was during his brief incarnate ministry ... but *more* ... the Holy Spirit is *in* us, from the moment we are saved, to guide, teach, comfort, convict ... this is a fulfillment of the New Covenant promise in Jeremiah 31, that God's law would be "written on our hearts". In this channel, I'll be sharing methods, reading scripture, teaching about its concepts ... all for God's glory and His kingdom.
