  1. Is there a 66 book video DVD bible commentary available for sale that teaches every book of the bible in a professional (i.e. non-cartoon, etc) style by a top notch bible teacher that can really bring the meaning of the bible alive for non-believers? I like expositional style preaching, line by line, from Genesis to Revelation, but would consider other formats of preaching. Closest I have found that I like is Calvary Chapel's Skip Heitzig and his video series "The Bible from 30,000 feet" where he covers in depth each book of the bible, not just the spiritual meaning of each book but also the cultural, archeaological, scientific and other aspects of each book to give the best understanding/context of each bible book. Is there anything else out there that is done in a professional, high caliber presentation by a biblically sound bible preacher/teacher? The only thing I could ask to make Heitzig's series even better would be if the video series included maps, photographs, timelines, etc. of the Holy Land as the preacher is preaching on each bible book. I think I've seen in the past John Hagee's preaching online and believe he has used this approach utilizing these support materials to bring out the full dimensionality of each book of the bible, even more so than just teaching the bible line by line in an expositional way (which I like a lot). After hours of searching online (Amazon, YouTube, Christian Book Distributors, Google search, etc) I have not found yet something which is a step above Skip Heitzig's "The Bible from 30,000 feet" video series." Is there anything else of this quality, or a video series that takes Heitzig's approach to another level by including the support materials I mentioned like maps and photos? Ideally bible scriptures in such a series would by KJV, if not NKJV or NASB as I favor literal bible translations. Use would be to help lead family members to Christ as well as a teaching tool for Sunday School for all ages, but leaning toward teaching adults with such a video series.
  2. What is the history of the Betrothal View regarding Marriage and Divorce? Am I right in understanding that this view does not permit divorce for ANY reason? Which Christian denominations significantly or entirely follow this teaching? I seem to recall reading a long time ago that this teaching, which apparently has its roots in ancient Judaism, was eventually used by some Christians or denominations as a way of justifying or even manipulating a "no divorce for any reason" stance, even though a literal, straightforward reading of the scriptures in question would seem to clearly allow divorce for one reason only--that of fornication. Here are the two key verses regarding the betrothal/no divorce issue as follows (correct me if I am wrong): [Mat 5:32 KJV] 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. [Mat 19:9 KJV] 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. So is it true that one or more church denominations (IFB included) held to an allowance for divorce for fornication only and no other reason throughout all of church history, but then at a later era ((I think I recall about 100 years ago) that the IFB or other denomination(s) changed what appears to be the literal allowance to divorce for fornication only to a new view which forbade divorce for any reason, including fornication? PLEASE ONLY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE BETROTHAL ISSUE ON MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE FROM THE HISTORICAL VIEWPOINT, WHICH IS WHERE MY QUESTIONS ARE FOCUSED!!! I request this as I know this is a "hot topic" throughout the ages of the church, and will generate endless posts on what Christians believe to be true or false regarding reasons for divorce or no divorce, and I don't want us to get bogged down in that issue. Thanks in advance for following this request.
