[soc.religion.christian] Bible Study on Apollo Computers

kenf@mentor.com (Ken Fletcher) (09/07/89)

For those of you who are interested, I have written an on-line Bible
concordance and research program for the Apollo.  It includes the
entire Bible ( NIV or KJV ) and allows you to reference any word in the
Bible in seconds.  Verses containing the word you are researching will
be brought up in a pad for viewing.  Context of the verse can be brought
up in another pad to allow you to see how the verse was used in the text.
It is great for personal study during lunch.  It works across the net
and through inter-net routers.    It is also fast.  To pull out all 
verses(1219 of them) containing the name Jesus, it takes about 12 seconds, 
with other processes working on the node.  This is the text as you would
read it from the printed Word and not just the references.  Context of 
verses can be found and pulled up in a pad in less than a second.

PSA 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all
who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs
eternal praise.

PRO 2:10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be
pleasant to your soul.

ISA 33:6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich
store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord
is the key to this treasure.

permission from the copyright holder.  The commercial Bible search
programs all charge more for non-KJV versions, because they have to
pay a royalty for the text. --clh]
