    Based on John's use of the word in The Revelation, "soon" means "approximately 2,000 years (or more)."


    That is only if you understand Jesus' coming to be a literal physical coming—or

    I know nothing is set in stone, but if I'm reading Phil's post correctly, the lowest cost will be around $150 for everything.  I was hoping that "everything" for the crossgrade will be no more than $100.  However, if the crossgrade includes resources and that increases the price, then I understand why it would be more.

    What I am interested in is having access to all the new features and things that Logos 5 can do.

    Yes, he did.  Now, after 4 more years of this incompetent and traitorous administration, it may take another century to turn the ship of state in a more proper direction.  BTW:  The Supreme Court decision was correct.


    George, we've had some good relationships, and I hope for more:  however, for you to post what you have on the Logos Bible Software Forums is truly scandalous.  For us Christians only the Gospel should be scandalous, methinks.

    My post count is misleading due to an email change.

    Apologies, Tom, I should have realised this Embarrassed I do actually recall reading your posts... It is getting late in the UK, or at least that is my excuse.

    At any rate, I've said my piece.

    I do appreciate the temptation... The problem is that someone may equally be tempted to respond to your response. And then someone is tempted to respond to the response to your response. And then again someone is tempted to respond to the response to the response to your response... Indifferent And that is rarely helpful and rarely productive in the context of online forums. 

    In all seriousness, I do sincerely appreciate your response... And apologise that I mistook you for a newbie (you have, no doubt, been around far longer than me).

    Finally, for absolute clarity, I don't have an axe to grind. I am in the UK and am ill qualified to distinguish, much less adjudicate, between Republican and Democratic policy... Now if you want to talk about the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats, that is something else entirely Stick out tongue

    Are you saying that Logos are the Lord's instruments in teaching us patience? Well my patience is being tested waiting for Logos to release the Logos 5 cross-grade... but I don't know if that is from the Lord [:|]

    So, just to confirm we will have a cross-grade in a week?

    No official commitment yet, but we're working on it now and could have it live on the website in the next week or two. Again, that's not a guarantee. That represents our current plans. We'll provide a concrete date as soon as it's available.

    Any indiction of costs for a 'full feature' cross-grade? 

    We're still working on the exact contents that the MCs will include. The smaller one, which might lack one or two features, will probably be between $75 and $150. The larger one, with all the features plus a few core resources, will probably be between $150 and $300, depending on which version of the software you're moving from. For Logos 4 users, it'll be on the lower end of those ranges. For Logos 3, it'll be a bit more expensive. For Logos 2 users, even more.

    For Logos 5 Starter to Silver users who are just looking to pick up the missing features, it'll be significantly lower. Dynamic pricing will apply to both products, so the ownership discount will be applied as appropriate.

    Okay, Phil, in your last statement it sounds like you are saying that those who bought the Start, Bronze, etc. of Logos 5 will be able to use the Crossgrade to get the missing features they want for much less than upgrading to Gold? And how much less are we talking? My mom has the Bronze Logos 5, but would like most to all of the missing features and data sets found in Gold. Would she be able to get those missing features and Data Sets then by buying the Crossgrade (she doesn't want any more books at this point, though)?

    I, for one, am very thankful for Logos delaying the crossgrade as much as possible.

    Each week, they release another Logos5 update correcting various boo-boos.

    It won't (pleasantly) suprise me  if they release the crossgrade with 5.1 or even 5.2 (although the 5.3 planned changes might be a bit of a stretch).

    EDIT: Just in case maybe some are not familiar with software development, typically changes, updates, corrections etc are 'booked' far into the future.  This is why 'user voice' is so important ... you're voting on version 5.4 or maybe 5.5. (In the case of Mac users, it's version 5.7 or 5.8 with their 'bookings' being somewhat greater).

    There has been enough political back and forth for me on facebook, and other social media to overwhelm my intake quota for such things for at least 6 months.

    In the end, we know that God is in charge of all, God raises up leaders, and God is not surprised. God has a plan.

    Whether we voted for them or not, we still must respect them and pray for them.

    This I think goes for both past and present leaders, and perhaps includes the founders of software companies! :)

    Would be interested in hearing more about the pricing schema for the big cross grade - I have L4 scholars, but if it would be financially advantageous to do so, I might get 5 starter, and then the big cross grade... Or else an eventual upgrade to silver.

    We shall see.

    I would love to have been a beta tester - boo-boos aren't a problem for me.  I have had jobs where my job is to break software.  

    I respectfully disagree that waiting is something we should be thankful for.  It is what it is, but I don't have to like it...  :) 

    But if I understood things correctly soon meant sometime this week - maybe tomorrow???

    Re 3.20

    his coming in the Eucharist.

    I don't think all these verses - or any of them - refer to the Eucharist:

    Revelation 1:1image

    The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must happen very soon (εν ταχει - from τάχος1). He made it clear by sending his angel to his servant John,



    Revelation 2:16image

    Therefore, repent! If not, I will come against you quickly (ταχυ - from ταχύς2) and make war against those people with the sword of my mouth.



    Revelation 3:11image

    I am coming soon (ταχυ). Hold on to what you have so that no one can take away your crown.



    Revelation 11:14image

    The second woe has come and gone; the third is coming quickly (ταχυ).



    Revelation 22:6image

    Then the angel said to me, “These words are reliable and true. The Lord,
    the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his
    servants what must happen soon (εν ταχει).”



    Revelation 22:7image

    (Look! I am coming soon (ταχυ)! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy expressed in this book.)



    Revelation 22:12image

    (Look! I am coming soon (ταχυ), and my reward is with me to pay each one according to what he has done!)



    Revelation 22:20image

    The one who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon (ταχυ)!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

    2 pert. to a relatively brief time subsequent to another point of time, neut. sg. as adv. in a short time, soon (cp. 1bβ above and τάχος 2).

    I was hoping this thread would go cold "soon-er or later."     Preferably sooner.

    Does that make me a Sooner-Day Saint?  [6]  Or maybe just a tad bit dispensational? [O]

    An interesting reference. Having done time in the State of Oklahoma, while acquiring an education and a wife, I know a little about Sooner history.

    White men were going to be allowed to settle on and claim personal stakes of property on what had been Indian territory. Many lined up at the border awaiting the time when they could race to secure the best pieces of property.

    Many started early to gain for themselves the best spots before the legal time. Those who jumped the gun were called Sooners. They got there sooner than the law allowed. It's interesting that this name and tradition is a cherished part of Oklahoma history.
