Featured Diversity Push Reaches Bible Software

Appears some liberal church leaders ignore Biblical teaching?
[1Ti 2:12 KJV] 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Tough pill for some to swallow!

 

indeed, sadly many are ignoring the Bible in many areas, like homosexuals and divorce/remarriage, etc

 

Thankfully, my salvation is not/was not/never was/never will be/ hindered by my ignorance of any other culture. As far as the skin color of an author or preacher of the truth of God, I don't give a hoot if HE is spotted!

 

It may be a bit of a stretch, but perhaps these passages where concerning conception, as life begins with conception. Certainly Benjamin's conception was in the same land as his brothers.

 

I thought some might like to discuss further whether Luke was a Gentile. Since that leads off-topic here, I created a thread specifically for that:
Was Luke a Gentile?

 

Gen 35:23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
Gen 35:24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
Gen 35:25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
Gen 35:26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were BORN to him in Padanaram.

And no, it's not "certainly" either.

 

The only reason I am now with LOGOS is because they bought WordSearch, which was a much more user-friendly software. I am not impressed much by LOGOS in general.

 

I have had them for several years, as was first on Gramcord, but then moved to Logos, as Accordance was Apple only then!

Accordance is said to be much more user friendly and better for original Languages work, but hav e too much money invested into Logos!

 

At some point, the free version of logos 9 will be available. I used just the free version of 8 as an ereader for a long time. Then I bought the $100 model for $50.00 by finding a way to access the cheapest model during the 50% off sale when they had that cheapest model very well hidden. They had removed all links to it. Sigh.

Logos needs more and more expensive and powerful hardware. I do not always have access to hardware than can run logos. The faithlife app is a leaner app, and sometimes I can access my logos ebooks with that app.

Right now, my buggy Windows laptop is running well. I hope I get to see what free Logos 9 adds to the lowest Logos 8, before that computer starts to malfunction again.

I have a hodge podge of apps on everything from a Kindle Fire to Linux to my buggy Windows laptop. I use what works for as long as it works. For a long time Linux was awesome, but then I learned the important truth that it is not money itself that is bad. It is the stuff SURROUNDING money that is the problem. It was instructional to see the same heart conditions outside of an issue that centered on money as more and more Linux distros stopped working on my specific laptop.

I know overnight that everything that worked the night before can be broken by the next morning with a forced update.

Logos is logos. After watching what happened in the Linux world this year, I have more tolerance for Windows and Logos. Man is a mess.

 

I have been on windows since 95, and have been on Linux Mint since think Mint 5!

 

Mint is the Linux distro that I have the least experience with. I tried it for a day, because I was told that Bible Analyzer's latest Beta Linux was built on Mint. That might be true, but Bible Analyzer didn't work better in Mint on the HP Stream laptop. I am running Kubuntu Gorilla right now, for better and worse, mostly for the sake of Bible Analyzer and Xiphos.

Friends have told me that I am the most aggressive distro-hopper they have ever met. It hasn't been by choice or curiosity: it was just what I had to do to get my schoolwork done on the hardware available to me at the time. I kept showing up at college with a new piece of junk hardware, and a new distro, and new crazy story of what happened to what I had been using the day before.

I go through hardware like the cookie monster goes through cookies. Spending more doesn't help, so now I just start off with the cheapest junk possible on purpose, and make it work somehow, some way. Logos throws a wrench in that plan, though, except for when Windows does work on the most powerful laptop. I almost didn't bring this laptop with me, because it is big and heavy, and wasn't able to run Windows at the time. Good thing I brought it, because both Windows and Logos are running on it right now.

 

I have now sett;es on a linux called Robo linux, supported until April 2023, and it does all that I want it to do! Based upon Ubuntu, with their tweeks!

 

I will have to google that! If you start any threads on Linux, I will participate.
