Is there something wrong with the Chronological Study Bible?

In my question posed here:



http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100609123545AA7yH7n%26amp;r=w



The first answer received stated om their first sentence:



"If a person is ministered to using a chronological study, that is fine :)"



Hopefully, John is still answering questions, so I would like to know what he meant by that sentence.

This book wasn't chosen lightly. While in the Christian bookstore I had a pull bring me back to this particular Bible time and time again during my search for a Bible. As I have said, it's made me actually want to continue reading the Bible where other Bibles have failed.Is there something wrong with the Chronological Study Bible?
The primary difference between a Chronological Bible (study or not) is the sequence in which the books are placed. In a Chronological Bible everything is place in Chronological order so that it would read more as a history book. For example the account of rebuilding the temple in Ezra has parts of Haggai in it. (Ezra 5:1Now Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the prophet, a descendant of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them. Haggai 1:12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD their God had sent him. And the people feared the LORD. )



Also the accounts of Kings and Chronicles are overlapped.



In a Chronological Bible the same accounts of Jesus that appear in all four Gospels are put together to be read in order.



The one bonus of a Chronological Bible is a person can get a better understanding of the context in which things are being done. They can see other passages that relate to the subject at hand.



Also there are many various translations of the Chronological Bible. I have a KJV, NASB, NCV, and NIV Chronological Bibles. The KJV is a devotional Bible. The NASB and NIV are Study Bibles and the NCV is just a standard Chronological Bible.
Something is wrong with all bibles, because theyre made of lies.Is there something wrong with the Chronological Study Bible?
It is kinda spooky... and all you want to do is to read the Bible... are you afraid that if you use your common sense reading you'll drop out of Christinity?
I am not familier with that book..... I assume it is a study aid..... as long as you are keeping in The Bible and are not going into man's invented business.... then it should be Ok

I use the Scofield Study bible KJV why?



Revelation 22:18 that's why.
Glad you said chronological study and not chronological Bible coz that wud have opened up a whole can of worms...
I haven't used that Bible, but reading the publisher's blurb it sounds sensible. As I understand it, it adds explanatory notes to some existing versions of the Bible, rather than itself being a new version.
