MANY are caught up in the lie of not being able to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world. I've found that many who shun or put down the DARB tend to be stuck in their ways (theology) or simply unwilling to invest the time to STUDY the DARB line by line and note for note to give it a FAIR chance. I found a Benny Hinn 30 minute advertisment for the bible, but i'm not a fan of Benny Hinn at all. Dake's was surprisingly in the unrecommended section.

A couple of old coal miners, worn out at that! Thankfully, with all my facial scars, I am still much better looking than macca by far. So you must have worked on it before 1999. I think Finis Jr finished it around 2007 or so and the first printing was in 1999. You know as we get older things begin to slip a bit. Must have been around 2002 or 2003? Wow, time has really flown! The more I think about it, it was longer ago than that.
PROBLEMS WITH DAKES BIBLE SOFTWARE
I also got a copy of the original software which I still use. I wanted to be a part of it and thanks to Dake Publishing, I was able to be. I took it very seriously because I truly believe this is the best study Bible every published. It was a LOT of work and I did find several errors. I actually had the pleasure of helping proof read the large print edition five or six years ago, as best as my feeble mind can recall. No one is perfect are they mate! Fancy dumb * like me finding errors in a book like that? Probably because my mate macca told me years ago not to believe everything I am told or read, and to check everything I read, and the scriptures provided to back up whats being read? Iwrote a letter showing these and it was fixed next edition and a thank you letter sent back to me. I found several incorrect Scriptures printed in an early edition of Dakes, God's plan for man. If a genuine error is pointed out they will fix it. I'm not sure why he did that but it does make sure you don't miss any of the points. I also agree with you when Dake repeats points of a particular verse of scripture. It is the best study Bible ever produced and I doubt it will ever be equaled. I have three in my house now and I have bought several for gifts. Jay wrote:A very fair critique in my opinion. I hope it can help you guys make some changes and improve the study bible. for example, he says, "and the amorites killed 1:8 of the people" it would take me to the verse for that book, chapter 1:8. I also didn't mention other little errors, like when Dake has a number that isn't a verse. I feel the biggest drawback of Dake's on ipod is that when Dake says "See note for verse #", all you can do is click the verse and it pops up, but no note. OH, ONE MORE THING! Something I didn't say in the video. If anyone from the Dake team sees the video. I actually use the ipod to show you verses of the points that i'm talking about, and the features that Dakes has or lacks. Well, take it from me, a guy who has read all of what Dake wrote from Gen - Job (so far). The reason I made this video is because out of all that, I found a lot of people saying they hate it, or love it, and they never gave any reasons. I found a site of "all study bibles" and a little summary of each one. Anyway, any "religious" experience outside of God actually blessing it is going to go bad. I asked him what the problem was and he gave me a link to a page who had a bad experience with pentacostals. One guy said to stay away from it because Dake was "pentacostal" and gave no other reasons. I went on youtube and typed in Dake's and found a few things on it. Since i've been reading through, i've found stuff I like and stuff I don't like, which is basically what the video is about.

So far, i've read from Genesis to Job, so almost 1/2 way. At about the beginning of the year, maybe March or so, I found out that Dake's was on ipod, so I got it and decided to read through from Genesis to Revelation, every note.

I got a hardback copy of Dake's a few years back. I made a video of me critiquing Dake's and put it on youtube.
