    How do I put Bible search results in bibical order?
    1. Graham Criddle 2 days ago

      If you are doing a Precise Bible Search, the results should be returned in biblical order - if you are running a Smart Bible Search, the results are returned in order of relevance to your query and we can't affect that. If doing a Precise Search and the results are not in order, please post a screenshot showing this.
    2. Phil Gons (Logos) 2 days ago

      FWIW, you can instruct the Smart Bible Search to return the results in canonical order (by putting "in canonical order" in your query), but it will only effect the first batch of results. If you page in additional results, those won't be in canonical order.

      Yes. Smart search. Isn’t there a drop down somewhere to make the results by relevance or canonical order? Thanks for your help.

    double minded
    1. Graham Criddle a month ago

      Is there a question you are seeking help on - maybe searching for instances of "double minded" or something else?

    what cities made up the region of Galatian
    1. Larry Weldon a month ago

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galatia
      Galatia - Wikipedia
      Ancient Galatia (/ɡəˈleɪʃə/; Ancient Greek: Γαλατία, Galatía, "Gaul") was an area in the highlands of central Anatolia (Ankara, Çorum, Yozgat Province) in modern Turkey. Galatia was named for the immigrant Gauls from Thrace (cf. Tylis), who settled here and became its ruling caste in the 3rd century…

    2. Mark Barnes (Logos) a month ago

      The region of Galatia encompassed different cities depending on whether we’re referring to the ethnic territory or the Roman province. The debate centers on whether Paul’s letter addressed churches in the southern portion of the Roman province of Galatia, which included cities like Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, or cities in the northern geographical region such as Ancyra and Pessinus. The northern region of Galatia was a mountainous territory in central Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) that included the cities of Pessinus, Ancyra (modern Ankara, Turkey’s capital), and Tavium. When the Romans expanded the province southward, it came to include parts of Lycaonia, Pisidia, and Phrygia, incorporating important cities like Pisidian Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. These southern cities were where Paul and Barnabas founded churches during their first missionary journey around A.D. 47-48. Most biblical scholars today favor the South Galatian Theory, concluding that Paul’s letter was addressed to the churches in the southern cities of Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. This view is supported by the fact that in Paul’s lifetime, the Roman province of Galatia encompassed the entire central region of Asia Minor, extending from just south of the Black Sea in the north to the slopes of the Taurus Mountains in the south.

    I’m bilingual, and I tried searching using the Spanish name, like 1 timoteo, but the Logos won’t recognize it. Can you help me out?
    1. Rev. Kevin Obermeyer a month ago

      Unless you have a Spanish version (es.logos.com), you may need to choose a Spanish resource to search for Spanish names.

    Why can't I find the memory tool in logos? Ive watched all the vidoes and I don't have it on my logos. Can someone help?
    1. Rev. Kevin Obermeyer 2 months ago

      The Memorization Tool is in Tools under Content. If you create a Passage List, you will also find it there. To use it, you'll need to choose or create a Passage List.

    How to find in Bible search verses that have the same lemma twice or three times?
    1. Andrew Malone 2 months ago — Edited

      There may be other ways to do this. But you can accomplish what you want by starting a new Morph Query (either via a Search dialogue > Query > Create morph query document, or using Documents > New > Morph Query). (1) Most important is the "Agree on Lemma" line at the bottom. (2) Leaving the "Part of Speech" box blank will find duplicates of ANY part of speech, including repeated conjunctions or articles. You could specify something there (as in my example) like Noun or Verb; then you'll find only duplicates of that kind. (3) This search for two matching lemmas should also find results with more duplicates. But you could "+Add word" and overtly seek results which have a third (or fourth or fifth) duplicate.

    what is meant by terrible chrystal
    1. Rev. Kevin Obermeyer 2 months ago

      I'll guess you're referring to Ezekiel 1:22 in the KJV or other older English translation ("chrystal" vs "crystal"). The KJV word "terrible" means awesome, awe-inspiring, dazzling, radiant, sparkling, brilliant, fearfully spectacular, etc. The verse is saying that the firmament above the living creatures looked like dazzlingly bright crystal. The Hebrew word for "crystal" can mean "ice," but the point here is the description of the look, not what it's made of.

    How did David become skillfull using the slingshot?
    1. Rev. Kevin Obermeyer 2 months ago

      This isn't specifically addressed in Scripture, thought David would have had to practice like other people, but you can use the Factbook and other resources to learn about the sling and the cultural uses of it.
    2. Larry Weldon 2 months ago

      I am a hunter as well as a fisher of men. I became skillful with firearms by using them, the same way a person may become skillful in the use of The Word Of God, as David also did. Growing up on a farm in Northern NY I hunted all manner of varmints and small game with a .22 rifle or a 20GA shotgun. I seldom shot at a target but rather became skillful by actually killing woodchucks, rabbits, squirrels, and other game and varmints. In the old days we had places called dumps where the refuse of the community was taken as trash and garbage. Rats congregated there and many of my contemporaries became proficient with firearms by shooting them - a service to humanity. The only way anyone ever gets good at something, unless he is some sort of prodigy, is to practice it. David practiced protecting the sheep; something far too few Pastors actually take to heart these days.
