Please share some ideas on how you are making use of the Bible Studie Builder. Do you make clippings based on the questions and then add the clipping document url in the link option, do you make one document per Bible Book, what type of info do add to the document. Do make use of notes? I would love to hear your insights and way of use.

    I would like it to replace my use of Clippings with Bible Study Builder, but the Lego construction and lack of toolbar options means that it falls short of proper text formatting. Crucially, there is no inline hyperlink ability. The generated Questions are not oriented to exegesis, so I would not create a Study based on them.

    A linked Clipping is not included in the Export to Word (for example). That is a distinct limitation, so why put links to a document in a sidebar?

    I don't use Bible Study Builder. I understand the concepts of what it does, but when I did use it, I find the questions it asks are more of a "serendipity" light hearted type. Just not my type. Sorry. But then, I am more of "roll my own" type of bible study building guy. I feel that by doing it "my way" I make it more mine. One shoe doesn't fit everyone.

    xn = Christan man=man -- Acts 11:26 "....and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch".

    Sermon builder should be polished first in my opinion.

    I have used it with one document per session. I do my exegesis, write my questions, and then check on the ones in my library to see if there are any promising avenues I have missed. Doing one for a whole book of the Bible seems like a nightmare to me. If you are only seeing lightweight questions, that is probably a function fo the resources you have. The Irving Jensen studies and the Christ-Centered Exposition ones are generally pretty good.
    But I don't use clippings at all anymore. I find just using notes is more intuitive.

    Not sure I’ve ever seen “Notes” and “intuitive” in the same sentence. 😂

    I had a chuckle at your comment but it got me thinking. If I consider Notes on its own merits, it may not be all that intuitive, but I certainly find it more intuitive than Clippings for my use cases. Whenever I think of using Clippings, all I get is a ‘meh’ feeling. It’s just not for me.

    The converse applies to me😒
