There is a Catechism of the Catholic Church Glossary.dctx. file here,not sure how useful it  might be.

Too bad search of downloads only can't be set as default.

Are these what you are looking for?

As I tend towards mal de mer, I can make no claims as a deep sea fisherman. I can, however, hang around the bait shop and learn a thing or two from those I meet there.

People with a passion are generally more than happy to discuss it with all and sundry. How much more so when that passion is the study of God's word and His great mercy and grace?

I came to the conclusion a couple of decades ago that any time I thought I saw a contradiction in the scriptures; it was because my understanding of the scriptures involved was faulty.

If you really want to pursue the ways to clear up these “Biblical clichés” do some searching for books on  HERMENEU'TICS, n. The art of finding the meaning of an author's words and phrases, and of explaining it to others. (Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of American English)

Norman Geisler is on very good author on the subject.

This web site is a pretty good place to start: http://hermeneutics....ermeneutics.htm

And this one isn’t too bad, though it isn’t set up to study hermeneutics per se.

I haven’t done much more than glance at these modules, so I cannot speak to their theological basis or how easey they are to read,


Enough of this (hopefully helpful) rambling.

I like the way the Amplified Bible puts it:

For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.  But this thing I did command them: Listen to and obey My voice, and I will be your God and you will be My people; and walk in the whole way that I command you, that it may be well with you.  But they would not listen to and obey Me or bend their ear [to Me], but followed the counsels and the stubborn promptings of their own evil hearts and minds, and they turned their backs and went in reverse instead of forward.  Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have persistently sent to you all My servants the prophets, sending them daily, early and late.  Yet the people would not listen to and obey Me or bend their ears [to Me], but stiffened their necks and behaved worse than their fathers.
(Jeremiah 7:22-26)
When God brought the people out of Egypt he didn't do it to get offerings and sacrifices, He did so because He wanted them to be His people, who would heed is voice and obey Him so He could bless them.  They never did so even though He had sent them His Prophets to instruct them.

As a result He is saying that they might as well keep their sacrifices and offerings and eat them their selves because without their obedience to His will, the sacrifices and offerings are valueless.

1Samuel 15:22  Samuel said, Has the Lord as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord?  Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

Ecclesiastes 5:1  KEEP YOUR foot [give your mind to what you are doing] when you go [as Jacob to sacred Bethel] to the house of God.  For to draw near to hear and obey is better than to give the sacrifice of fools [carelessly, irreverently] too ignorant to know that they are doing evil.

As for you questions about Paul, I'm nor certain as to what verses you are citing, but you might read Galatians chapters 3 and 4 to see how he views the law as it applies to Christians.  But he does say this:
Do we then nullify the Law through faith?  May it never be!  On the contrary, we establish the Law.  (Romans 3:31)

What Paul says in essence is that a follower of Christ has God's law written on his heart, and follows it out of a desire to please God, not because of an external set of rules and commandments.

"But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. “  They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”  (Jeremiah 31:33-34)

Hope this helps.

If you do a search of the downloads you will find these and more.

For estudysource modules log into your account, then serlect My account, select view orders.

You can then access the e-mail name and liscence key information, as well as download the latest revision of that modual keyed to the info from your account.  Be aware that the e-mail address is kase sensitive.

There was a thread some time ago about the proper way to format citations from e-sword modules in bibliographies and footnotes, but I cannot recall if it was on this site, the old site or the Yahoo group.

One person made the point that among the information should be that the information being cited was from an electronic source, because there are some times variations in some module's text either due formatting difficulties or difficulties in proof reading the OCR, or omissions in the material being converted..

The NASB+ module, included with the NASB abd NASB Concordance from estudy source has, in addition to the embedded Strong's numbers R and N (in blue to contrast with the green of the Strong's numbers.) the R give related verses and the N alternate/variant readings (accessed via the same mouse hover as Strong's numbers).

The notes and related verses aren't as comprehensive as I would like, but they are better than nothing.  There was a discussion some time ago in the forums s to how they could be embedded, perhaps someone with better "twixt-ears-RAM" than I have will be able to remember where that discussion can be found if you are interested.

At the risk of recommending the obvious have you looked into

The Names of God by Lambert Dolphin
( <http://ldolphin.org/asstbib.shtml> )
( e-Sword ™  topx by Raymond Mears With permission from Lambert Dolghin )

and/or

The Names of God  Discovering God as He Desires to be Known
by Andrew Jukes

I am pretty sure that both modules are here on this site.

Is there a module already out there or one in the works for The Jewish Annotated New Testament by Amy-Jill Levine (Editor) and Marc Z. Brettler (Editor)?

I couldn't locate copy right information on The Jewish Annotated New Testament.  If it isn't in Public Domain, then it would take a (generally) long and complex effort to obtain permission to create and distribute it before it could be distributed here.

I don't know if this would be useful, but  The nearest thing I can locate is:
The Complete Jewish Bible
An English Version of the Tanakh (Old Testament) and B'rit Hadashah (New Testament) by David H. Stern.

It is a commercial (premium) module distributed by eStudySource Here is the blurb for it:

Presenting the Word of God as a unified Jewish book, The Complete Jewish Bible is a translation for Jews and non-Jews alike. It connects with the Jewishness of the Messiah, and non-Jews with their Jewish roots. Names and key terms are returned to their original Hebrew and presented in easy-to-understand transliterations, enabling the reader to pronounce them the way Yeshua (Jesus) did! The New Testament was also written by Jews, initially for Jews. Its central figure was a Jew. His followers were all Jews. This translation uniquely communicates its original, essential Jewishness.

Other than cut and pasting the book chapter by chapter into a word processing program, I don't believe that there is a way to do so,  But then again, when you are reading a hard copy, there are artificial divisions to be dealt with (turning of the pages).

Rather than mouse your way through the chapters, when you come to the end of a chapter, simply push the F8 key to "turn the page" to the next chapter (or F5 to back up to the previous chapter). This allows something close to the ease reading hard copy.

This also works when you are using the parallel window, which allows you to read up to eight of your transaltions at one time, something difficult to do in hard copy study.

Do most tablets and notes have enough memory and other resources to run e-Sword (especially with the module load many of us carry)?  I have used pocket e-Sword.with my Palm Treo, but the speed tends towards clunk with some of the larger modules.

Does this also now mean that e-sword HD will run on all apple devices without work-a-rounds like Wine?

It is likely that I am mistaken, but I took this as having moph tags/codes and Strong's Numbers (though not with TMV).

Joh 20:28  και And G2532 CONJ  απεκριθη answered G611 V-ADI-3S  ο  G3588 T-NSM  θωμας Thomas G2381 N-NSM  και and G2532 CONJ  ειπεν said G2036 V-2AAI-3S  αυτω unto him G846 P-DSM  ο  G3588 T-NSM  κυριος Lord G2962 N-NSM  μου My G3450 P-1GS  και and G2532 CONJ  ο  G3588 T-NSM  θεος God G2316 N-NSM  μου my.

The module is (I'm pretty sure) from this site, listed as G-NT-TR (Steph)+.  This is the Module information.
Stephanus 1550. Greek words English Translation Original Punctuation in Stephanus 1550

The English translation taken from the KJV to the corresponding verse and word Strongs numbers.

Codes taken from Textus Receptus Greek New Testament Scrivener 1894.

The only module I am aware of that is set up to use the TMV dictionary is the KJV+TMV, I wish there were more but I can well imagine the gargantuan effort needed to make that change.
The BTSCTVM dictionary does (as the name indicates) work well on modules with the TMV numbers included, which is why I sert it to be my tool tip lexicon of choice, it also references the KJV Concordance even though the module name doesn't mention it.  Makes for a huge, but informative tool tip pop up.  ;-)
