Young's Analytical Concordance would make a nice addition.  Also a more diversified choice of eschatology teachings, (i.e.: preterist viewpoint).  Thanks for all you do!  It has been a tremendous blessing to myself and our Bible study group.

Here is a link to some of our modules on Preterism:

Why anyone would believe Preterism is beyond me .

hi all,

Please understand It is not Rick who is restricting adding modules BUT it is Apple (iPad)  And try to understand that before e-Sword HD for iPad there was not a good Bible software until e-Sword HD

Again if you want to add your own or more modules, you will have to go with Android (MySword)

thanks and be patient (Pray as David Psalms said)

This is a trade off.  You cannot use your premium e sword modules with MySword.  So it depends on what content you use the most.

I am not an apple fan, so it is an easy decision for me.  However, for those who like e sword and apple this is a very good news even if it is limited.

Blessings,
Peter

Hello,
I will keep this breif.
I have news and information.

What relevant news and information do you have?

Very excited about this file.....  Thanks David.

David,

do you ever sleep?  There is more to life than module-making, my friend!  

Seriously, I just wanted to give a very public THANK YOU for all the work you've done.

-Brad

I agree with Bradley.. which is somewhat rare .  I can barely keep up with downloading the modules that I might use some day.

David, are you going to someday post these at wordmodules.com as well?  I get a password protected error when I try to import your recent topx files?

Either way, thank you so much for your hard work!

Blessings,
Peter

Of course, now the requests will be:

Would you please delete that guy?  He's annoying me!

Bradley, would you please delete yourself?

You annoy me

Hi Ebed,
That is the sort of confirmation I was looking for. Going by your information it seems that it very much is a possibility to download third party resources for e-Sword HD from here. I guess the only way that can be actually verified is if someone actually tries/does it.



Although that is a good idea, I don't think its really necessary going by what you said



Scratching the nits in my hair to think if you did, but nah, you didn't.

So, with all of that, thanks for your input and info. Really, really, really helpful.

Blessings,

I do not own an apple product, but from what I have read this would only be possible if Apple allowed it.  If you purchase an apple product, you are completely at the mercy of what apple allows you to do unless you jail break the device.  

Blessings,
Peter

That sounds great David.  I look forward to it.  

Blessings,
Peter

I don't know of any mobile software that can replace desktop Bible study. The lack of a keyboard/mouse and small screen makes mobile software mostly a quick reference platform for me. Even e-Sword HD isn't as feature rich as e-Sword for the PC. Rick seems to have designed e-Sword HD for how I said above.

I agree with that.  It is more than a quick reference for me because of how I use it at church and devotionally.  I like to leave the house to read/pray so I can get some quiet.  I usually do this in the car on the way to work.  I also read a lot of books in MySword when I am in bed our out and about.  

Some people do use MySword with tablets that have a keyboad like the Asus transformer, so they go a little beyond how I use it.  It still does not compare to having a PC with lots of RAM, a fast processor, and a key board and mouse.  Desktop or laptop Bible software is essential for me.  MySword supplements it.

Here are some screen shots of Deluxe MySword on a 7" tablet for your information...







Those windows can be any combinations of views you want and are easily changed by hitting the little buttons below with the window selected.  Images are supported.  Links between dictionary entries are supported.  

For much more information on how MySword Deluxe works see here:

http://www.mysword.i...-deluxe-edition

MySword is the only mobile software that can do anything like this as far as I know.  

The biggest reason I use MySword is the ability to migrate my own content. The 2nd reason is the user interface and the features are far superior to any other mobile software at this time.

They have put a lot of programming effort into making this software as good as it is.  They have put more effort in than even the companies who have many employees working for them.  They do require a significant donation to get the Deluxe version.  If you do not like MySword, then you do not need to donate.  I do not know why some get so upset about that part of it...

Peter

Does MySword support the systems, methods, and tools that one uses for one's normal and usual Bible Study?

MySword is not meant to replace the use of your main computer Bible software for most people.  I use it to do devotional reading with multiple translations and occasionally to dig into something a bit when I am not near my computer.  I also use it to read books because I like to read books while reading the scriptures referenced in those books in context.  I also use it to teach from at church and to take notes in church.

So to be useful in your comments, tell people what mobile software can achieve what you are suggesting.  If what you suggest is important to people, they can consider that software instead.  

Many will not use MySword because they cannot buy their premium translations.  Some will not use it because it only has 66 books in the Bible view.

I am not arguing that it replaces the need for e Sword/ theWord/ BA, or any other desktop/laptop software that one might choose to use.  Lets compare it to other mobile software only.

.

study the 道藏 or स्मृति.

I have no idea what that means...  please explain...

I'll try, by rephrasing it, albeit that rephrase is going to be more complex, obscure, and less understandable.

For those whose Bible study consists of tearing apart the  NA-28, BHS, WLC, MS, Byzantine Text, Majority Text, Clementine Vulgate, Peshita, Siddhic text,  etc, then Biblical Software that only provides the KJV does not provide the texts one uses for one's Bible study, and hence is utterly useless, for such purpose, because it fails to provide the required support for the type of Bible study that one does.

Rephrased differently.  

If your typical Bible study consists of studying the inflections of the Hebrew middle weak verb, with the entire range of possible variations for each conjunction (perfect, imperative, etc), person, number, gender, and stem, then Biblical software that provides the functionality is mandatory.  If one's Biblical software does not provide grammar and syntax search functionality, then one's Biblical software hinders the individual, by not providing the tools for studying the Bible in their usual, standard, and accustomed manner.



Biblical software is useful, only to the extent that it supports the systems and methods of Bible Study that one uses.  If it fails to support those systems and methods, then it fails to enable one to study the Bible.

So the question is, how does any of that relate to MySword?

There are a lot of study tools here at www.biblesupport.com for MySword.  RMAC is here along with Bibles that have the morphology markings that work with RMAC.

MySword also offers many more translations than just the KJV.  I do not see how this applies to the discussion.  Some modern translations that rely on the critical texts available are NET, LEB, and ISV.  LEB and ISV come with helpful translation notes.

MySword is limited by not offering premium modules.  These can be created for personal use, but this takes a lot of effort.  This is not practical for most people.

I am relatively new to e-Sword. The more I use it, the more I like it.

I've downloaded a bunch of the free content (bible versions, etc.), but I could really use some help choosing one or more bible commentaries. I don't mind spending some money, but I want to be sure it's worth it. I know I can't afford to build an extensive library overnight, but I would appreciate anyone's recommendations (as well as any you might shy away from). I realize they all have pros/cons (accuracy, depth of study, ease of use, etc.). I already have a hard copy of the OT/NT BKC. I think at this time, what I am looking for is something that digs deeper (not to insult the BKC). One of my fears is that I will choose a commentary (or commentaries) and then find what's discussed about the passages will be too brief or shallow (I realize sometimes that's what people are looking for). I lean more fundamental/conservative the vast majority of the time, but not on every single issue. I appreciate being able to read and understand alternative views, even when I don't agree with them. In addition to my personal studies, I'm looking for help with preparing lessons. I love digging into the background of the culture and other things that I wouldn't typically know when I read the text as an American in 2012.Hopefully that will help you help me. :^)

Any suggestions you can offer are much appreciated!

We do not have a lot of commentaries for e sword that in depth on every passage.  You often have to look through multiple commentaries to find what you are looking for.  Bradley already mentioned the Pulpit Commentary.  I like that as well.

I would also like these free ones:
http://www.biblesupp...ols-updated-v2/  Biblical Illustrator
http://www.biblesupp...tantial-update/  David Guzik Commentaries
http://www.biblesupp...series-updated/ Chuck Smith C 2000 Series
http://www.biblesupp...-bible-20-vols/  Great Texts

As far as premium modules go, I like these the best:
http://estudysource.....aspx?pid=C0005  Jon Courson Life Application (NT)
http://estudysource.....aspx?pid=C0019  Nelson's New Illustrated Commentary
http://estudysource.....aspx?pid=C0009  J Vernon McGee through the Bible Commentary
http://estudysource.....aspx?pid=C0001  Believer's Bible Commentary

I use or have used all of the above in my studies along with many others.

Blessings,
Peter

then software that provides the KJV, and only the KJV is woefully inadequate for that task

Please explain what you mean by that.

if your Bible Study consists of resolving Scoffield References

An explanation for this would be nice to.

The only thing I would like for MySword is a better way to convert e-Sword modules to MySword. Again it is about what bible software that meet your needs.

Patch,

With the latest release of the migration tools http://www.mysword.i...migration-tools it is now easier to convert e sword modules to MySword.  You do not even have to open theWord.

You just use theWord importer to convert the module to theWord.  Then take the theWord module and paste it into the MySword migration tools folder.  Then just click on theWord file and drag it onto the appropriate module type .exe file.  This will convert the file to MySword for you.  See image below.

It literally takes less than a couple of minutes to convert most modules to MySword.  They have improved the tools so that the scripture links will work without opening up the file in theWord and doing further processing.

The only module type that is more difficult than this is Bibles because theWord importer does not convert .bblx files.

Blessings,
Peter
