What's the most surprising answer you've gotten from Logos's AI Smart Search? Maybe you've even asked a question, thinking you would stump Logos. Share the question you asked!
As mentionend ealier, I am still a bit unfamiliar with the concept of "dispensionalism". But the Smart Search evolved from March (see here) to June (see below), so now I see a little bit clearer:
Der Dispensationalismus ist ein theologisches System, das die Bibel und die Geschichte in bestimmte Zeitalter oder "Dispensationen" unterteilt, in denen Gott auf unterschiedliche Weise mit den Menschen in Beziehung tritt[1][2]. Dieses Konzept wurde ursprünglich von John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) entwickelt und in den USA hauptsächlich durch die Scofield-Studienbibel popularisiert[3][4]. Der Begriff "Dispensation" leitet sich vom griechischen Wort "οἰκονομία" ab, das in einigen Bibelübersetzungen als "Verwaltung" wiedergegeben wird[4]. Kennzeichnend für den Dispensationalismus sind die Unterscheidung zwischen Israel und der Kirche als separate Gruppen in Gottes Heilsplan, eine wörtliche Interpretation der Schrift, insbesondere der Prophetie, und spezifische Ansichten zur Endzeit[3][5]. Im Laufe der Zeit haben sich verschiedene Formen des Dispensationalismus entwickelt, darunter der klassische, revidierte und progressive Dispensationalismus[4]. Diese Lehre hat einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die populären Vorstellungen von der Endzeit und Eschatologie in der evangelikalen Welt ausgeübt[1][2].

Still, I would like to see included a brief outline of the idea(s) of the main variants of dispensionalism.
Interesting! Any others?
Smart search has gotten better and it’s the first month I’ve used more than 20% of my credits. Most months I’ve used 5-6%.
One precise search I recently did was finding Yahweh in each book in the Bible. I made a chart of that search and then used several smart search to ask why it was used significantly more than other books in the Bible.
"altar built by Abram or Abraham" in Bible.
I was surprised by the 3 results given. Everything else I read on the google was 4. So I checked and yes the 3 results is the one I wanted.
My daughter was reading a Christian theologian who suggested we as Christians ought not seek evidence for our beliefs. I did this Bible search:
all times we are asked to believe based on evidence
This brought up a long list of instances where God's people were directly asked to consider the evidence.
(Edited for clarity.)
I had about 10 minutes to plan a Sunday school class for middle-schoolers. I put in this Bible search:
20 verses that list an overview of the history of Scripture for someone not familiar with Scripture
Loved what came up. We spent the class recreating the flow of biblical history on a large white-board. (Turned out, the class didn't need much help from me!)
Yesterday I took my laptop to the kitchen table to do some work and was not connected. I was surprised to see that Lemma in Passage did not work offline. Is the number of features that require being online increasing and is the plan to keep increasing those?
Thank you for the instructions on how to install Word Search on a new computer. I followed those instructions, but how do I start Word Search after the three sets of files are copied? As others have noted, though I have tried Logos, I still prefer Word Search. I started using it when it was Thompson Chain-Reference Bible.…
Computer crashed and I replaced it. How do I transfer my license with my resources to the new computer?
I am really hoping that I can find a functional solution regarding the PB. I also don't care if it is the PB specifically, I just need something functional. So in Accordance obviously they have their "User Bible". What that means is that on my end my txt file looks like: Gen. 1:1 My text Gen. 1:2 My text Gen. 1:3 My text I…
Let's say I have a floating window with three tabs. I want to drag a book showing in my library window to my floating window to become another tab. It works—except most of the time when it doesn't. I have to get the new tab lined up just precisely perfect which seems to be an almost impossible thing to do. That little…
