L/V 10+ Tip of the Day #204 Trinitarian visual filter
Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.
This tip is inspired by the forum post: How to find references to "God" that are not God the Father - Logos Forums
My purpose is to create a Visual Filter for the three persons of the Trinity. I set up 3 colors for each of these Bible search criteria:
- person:God
- person:Jesus
- person:"Holy Spirit"
Note in my example below I used the inductive highlighting for the three.
or are all references to God assumed to be the Father?In terms of tagging I believe this is the case
You will see tagging of the one person for both God/Christ or Jesus/Christ as well as unique occurrences for Christ.
To avoid overlap:
- person:God
- (person:Jesus OR person:Christ) NOT INTERSECTS person:God
- person:"Holy Spirit" NOT INTERSECTS person:God
The allows for only one highlight when a single lexical item is tagged for more than one person of the trinity.
Note how all references to God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit are highlighted regardless of whether they are implied by a verb, the antecedent of a pronoun, or one of many names under which the person is referenced. See L/V 10+ Tip of the Day #203 Every reference to a person - Logos Forums.
So why isn't Son of God given a highlight? Turn on the interlinear:
There is no Greek text underlying the English in the interlinear i.e. a textual variant was used for the translation. The tagging for person is on the Greek. No Greek-No match for visual filter.
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."
