#43666 Is there a way to import my old Wordsearch books

Posted by djmarko53 on 31 October 2022 - 11:56 AM in e-Sword Questions & Answers

What version of WordSearch do you have?
I have Version 12 which is the last before they were
bought out by Faithlife and everyone was to switch
to Logos Version 9 for free.  I have Version 9.17 now

If you haven't upgraded to LOGOS I would recommend
it.  Then you can get all your books in WordSearch to
carryover into LOGOS.  From Logos it would be easy
to copy and paste your books into your editor.

To use the Simple Bible Reader, it will only work on Books
and/or Dictionaries.  There is no option to convert Commentaries.




#43665 Thoughts about this translation?

Posted by djmarko53 on 31 October 2022 - 06:54 AM in e-Sword Questions & Answers

Don't know if anyone mentioned it or not.  But the LSB is the latest update of the New
American Standard Bible.  The Words "New American" being replaced by the word "Legacy"
Actually, it is not a bad translation, although it takes some getting used to the Word "LORD"
in capital letters, being replaced with "Yahweh" throughout this version.

 

I have already converted the LSB for use with "SwordSearcher"  Might see if I can convert
that to "e-Sword" format, since i already have it for LOGOS.  LOGOS had it for $4.99 and
that was hard to resist.  It is available online thru the "Blue Letter Bible" website.

My versions of choice are KJV, NKJV, ESV, and the NASB.  Not sure about the LSB yet.
Tried to use it for a reading at church and did not imipress very many.  Probably because
Lockman Foundation in their "Iinfinite Wisdom" decided to change "LORD" to "Yahweh."
For some reason it is somewhat different trying to wrap my mind around this change.

 

As far as the KJV, it was OK for the time in 1611, but now?  With all the more recent
manuscripts available that they didn't have back then?  KJV I believe is a revision of
the "Bishop's Bible" which came out over 50 years before the KJV.

Which prompts me to ask the Lockman Foundation, "Why try to reinvent the wheel?"
