I am running Logos 8.6 and am looking for a query that will find all the instances where God is the creator. Does anyone have a query they use and think it finds all the verses they might like to share?
Thanks!
Dan
I'm not at my computer right now, but if memory serves, I think Reasons to Believe has a very exhaustive list on their web page. I'll see if can dig it out when I get to my laptop in the morning (it is 22:34 here in the UK).
Are you talking about verses where something is created by God; or where God is referred to as The Creator?
Does anyone have a query they use and think it finds all the verses they might like to share?
(<Sense to form (create)>, <Sense to create>, <Sense to be created>) WITHIN 0-5 WORDS <Person God>
where the 0 in 0-5 WORDS will include a word that is tagged both for God and the verb "create(d)".
Apologies, I can't seem to find the article now. Hopefully, Dave's search example will give you what you need.

Using Dave's formula - LEB, HCSB and NASB95 all come up with 68 verses, so it seems to work.
thanks Liam!
either or both would work for my purposes
thanks Dave!
The Bible Browser Tool works great for things like this. Type in "Create" and see many possible searches. See attached:
Wow, never even considered this tool. Thank you.
I know I sound like a broken record: Usability is still my major issue with Logos. Similar to Dan, I have seen this tool but not really used it. So I completely forgot about it.
Looking at Dave's search syntax, it just is just too complicated for me.
However, if I google for "bible verses with God as the creator" without the quotation marks, I instantly get pretty much the verses I am looking for. I know Google and Logos are different. But still I wished searching in Logos would get easier.
