To Faithlife assistant: I need a verse about faith

Response: This displays the first Key Passage of the Factbook entry for the Preaching Theme “faith”. It is also the first result if runs a search on {Section <Topic Faith>}.

P18-1 Faith

To Faithlife assistant: Search ESV Bible for love burden years

Response: This builds a Bible search on the ESV which returns no results – remember it is looking for all three words in any order with zero or more intervening words in a single verse.

P18-2 ESV 3

Changing the request to “Search ESV Bible for lonely widow slave” provides results.

P18-3 ESV With Results

To Faithlife assistant: Search Exodus 20 through 24 for name

Response: The response is to build a search limited to Exodus 20-24 against the Top Bibles for the text term “name”.

P18-4 Exodus Name

To Faithlife assistant: Search esv for love

Response: This creates a search against all passages in the ESV for the text term “love”.

P18-5 ESV Love

To Faithlife assistant: Search faith in the Bible

Response: This builds the standard Bible search in Top Bible but illustrates that multiple formats can be used for a simple Bible search.

P18-6 Bible Faith

To Faithlife assistant: Search the ESV for love

Response: This example is to show that “esv” and “ESV” are treated identically.

P18-7 ESV Caps

To Faithlife assistant: Search the gospels for sign glory

Response: This illustrates the limiting the span of the search by use of a predefined subset.

P18-8 Gospels

 

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
