I am using the "Names of God" tool to identify all the names used for Jesus, but when I narrow to "Names of Jesus", I don't see "Lamb of God" from John 1:29. Am I doing something wrong?
Looking at the Names of God tool and the Other References of the Information Panel, I believe that "lamb of God" is treated as figurative language rather than a proper name.
In that case, how do I locate all figurative language references to Jesus? Another example would be "Logos" in John 1.
Westbury, Joshua R., Jeremy Thompson, Kristopher A. Lyle, and Jimmy Parks, eds. Lexham Figurative Language of the Bible Glossary. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2016. has some examples as does the Help file https://ref.ly/logosres/logos4help-verbum?hw=Searchable+Labels&off=12684&ctx=+mark+up+the+Bible.%0a~Figurative+Language%0a
"Lord" in, for example, 1 Thessalonians 3:11 is also treated as figurative language {Section <FigurativeLanguageTerm = Jesus>}...Not sure why other Figurative Language wouldn't be included in the Names of God tool.
Also, I believe only "a" in "a great prophet" in Luke 7:16 is correctly labelled as {Section <FigurativeLanguageTerm = Jesus>}. Similar issue in Hebrews 2:17.
Revelation 1:13 & Revelation 14:14 search results should yield "a son of man" rather than just "a son".
This query removes Pronouns, Verbs & Adjectives from results by only looking for Nouns:-
({Section <flterm Jesus>} OR <Person Jesus>) INTERSECTS <LogosMorphGr ~ N????>
For greater accuracy run this against a Greek bible (SBLGNT), as it will avoid the spurious results that come from an English bible with reverse interlinear e.g. Lk 22:41, Jn 2:25
EDIT: In this case, 1 Thess3.11, "lord" appears under Our Lord Jesus in the tool.
But, the documented Figurative Language search is a Label and <FigurativeLanguageTerm...> is used as an identifier in its syntax. {Section <FigurativeLanguageTerm...>} will produce more results than a constrained {Label Figurative Language...} search. I'm not sure what the tool uses.
I believe only "a" in "a great prophet" in Luke 7:16 is correctly labelled as {Section <FigurativeLanguageTerm = Jesus>}. Similar issue in Hebrews 2:17.
"Prophet" and "High Priest" are the only FL Terms for Jesus in a Greek bible. The "a" in an English bible is inserted for clarity and is associated with those nouns in a reverse interlinear.
