How do I have two way conversations on issues as I needed to clarify responses - see below?

I asked the following Question… then John Fidel answered to search books and type Once Saved Always Saved (however, when I do that, it bring up word search for Saved and for Always) which is not what I need. There is no way to respond back with clarifying questions or hold a conversation so this resource is not helpful. Is there a better way to connect for help? PS, he asked if I have a subscription and yes I do and it is supposed to include "smart search". Help?

"I am having trouble in Logos 10 searching for all verses related to this topic "Once Saved Always Saved". I would like to prepare a study/response to someone who does not believe this and would like all the verses for/against that are related to this topic so I may properly vet the question and have a bible answer (or vet, for myself, the content creators that speak about it)? Every search box/engine, including guides under topic, will not bring up the related verses. Anyone available to please help walk me through this? Thanks so much GmaJo (Grandma Jo)"

    Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on your perspective), direct messaging capabilities were disabled for the new forums because a lot of people didn't want it.

    As to your question, have you tried putting the whole phrase in quotes? That will narrow your search instead of bringing in all the results for both terms separately. See my results below.

    You can also try searching for alternative terms like "eternal security" or "perseverance of the saints". See below:

    Don't start a new conversation, use the Leave a comment box at the bottom of the page. I will walk you through it on the original post.

    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."

    @GmaJo looks like Kiyah answered your question for a precise search. If you click on where it says precise in the search box it should show an option for smart search. See screenshot below

    As MJ stated above just reply with your question in the original post and you will be able to get additional assistance and I also believe she provided a list of verses to assist with your questions.
