How about adding E.W. Bullinger's notes from The Companion Bible as a Logos book?

I've generally found that those who follow the Companion Bible notes are kooks.
Boy, are you in for a big surprise.
George you sure don't like dispensationalist is there more to the story than you are letting on? Confession is good for the soul. Their crime seems to be that they are concerned that you should not be left behind & that you are not part of the Israel of God, who can blame them for that after such attacks from you[:P]. What is wrong with that? what have dispensationalist done to you? The excuse that the devil made me say those comments will not do - resist him and he shall flee from you[:)]
Are you not going outside your speciality which is original language into theology? Leave the dispensationalist alone & stop just talking them around [8] hee-hee woh.[H]
Sir T
Ps I speak as one who is not a dispensationalist but have greatly benefited from their writing i. e Darrell Bock, Dan Wallace etc.

I was raised in a church which taught dispensationalism. I practically walked around with a Schofield Reference Bible in my hip pocket. I'm familiar with all of their silly charts. I know how they slice and dice scripture to make it say what they want it to say. No, I'm not outside my field. They make a mockery of scripture. I'm opposed to it because I'm all too familiar with it and have come to see its errors.
George, can we get a definition of what a kook is? I am a dispensationalist so apparently I am a kook. Just wondering if you or anyone else could shed light on the word so I can understand myself a bit better.
thanks in advance

George, can we get a definition of what a kook is?
I can't resist butting in. In searching for uncommon creeds, I've found my own standard for kook-dom: someone who believes that the use of text only, text in various colors and sizes of letters constitutes making a point. I believe they have confused a printers' point with a logicians' point therfore allowing me to classifying them as "kooks"

I couldn't agree more. I know of a guy who is a KJOnlyist and has appeared on various forums (including b-greek and b-hebrew though he knows neither) who is continually trying to promote the Textus Receptus who puts various paragraphs in differing colors.
That all being said, I'd still like to suggest that the side column notes and the appendixes of the Companion Bible by E.W. Bullinger be considered for inclusion into the Logos library.
There is a wealth of information in those notes. Not all of them are correct, but then I have never run into a single reference where everything is correct. I happen to find the information useful AND interesting and would like to have it in my Logos library.
Logos and Galaxie software both offer other works by Bullinger for Logos. His work on Figures of Speech Used in the Bible is without peer. I believe that I remember some of Bullinger's work is included in some Logos timeline add-on or something of the sort.
Since the work is out of copyright and is primarily English, one would think that it would be a cash cow for Logos. The "kooks" would come in droves.

And I might even buy it just to have the happy hunting grounds of the kooks available.
You haven't read my book yet (since it isn't finished) so don't be too quick to judge that everything won't be correct. [:D]
George, all though we have not agreed previously and don't expect to now, I would ask that you refrain from disparaging remarks for those who do not agree with you. You are entitled to your opinion and though I may not agree with you I would not wish to call you a "kook" because of your honest beliefs. As a brother in Christ I would hope you would give the same consideration to others. I have yet to meet a man that has obtain a full understanding of the scriptures. You may very well be surprised on the day you meet the Lord to find out what you had right and what you had wrong.
Remember Isaiah 55:9
In Christ,
Ken
Mike, I too would be interested in these notes. I have read some of Bullinger's work and it gives one some thought provoking topics of converation.

Read http://www.therain.org/appendixes/app146.html from the Companion Bible where he stands the meaning of καταβολή on its head so that it doesn't mean "foundation" but rather "destruction" and tell me that this isn't kooky. This is part of the basis for their contention that there was a world prior to this world and that souls fell in this pre-existent world. They also teach that Eve had sexual relations with the serpent in the account of the Garden so that Cain was the offspring of the serpent. Can you still contend that this isn't kooky? You might want to read the article "Serpent Seed" in Wikipedia.
I would like to see the Companion Bible Notes in Logos too!

No need to read YOUR book. I have other books from higher authorities that keep me plenty busy. Thanks anyway.
I'm glad that you'd buy a copy of the Companion Bible Notes and Appendixes just to work over the "kooks", if that's what rings your bell. If I remember my Bible correctly, the gate you're supposed to be looking for is small, so I wouldn't be one bit surprised if the "kooks" get it right. Myself, I'm still studying and keeping my eyes open, like I have been for many, many years. If what the "kooks" say lines up with The Word, then I'd have to side with the "kooks" in that particular instance. What doesn't line up gets 86'd. I have a feeling that your book isn't going to help me much with the weeding out of junk to get to truth.. eh? Father's Spirit does a real dandy job of that without your book.
1 Corinthians 1:27 - But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound thewise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound thethings which are mighty;
If the "kooks" look like fools to you, then you'd better remember that God uses whoever He will and He's pretty good at covert activity. I don't know what country you're from, but here in the U.S.A. we have freedom of religion and "kooks" have all the rights everyone else has. Father ALONE is the judge. He might object to you trying to steal His job.
Have a super-duper really boss keen day!!! [:D]

I'm glad to hear that you have a fast-track to know the truth. Most of us need to study and think a bit. All you need to do is to drink a few spirits.
Can we just stop all this name-calling and one-upmanship. Somebody made a suggestion. Whether you or I think it is a good book or a bad book, is irrelevant to the fact that this is a suggestion.
Too many of these discussions are getting hi-jacked these days, to discuss everything from KJV onlyism, to Genesis 1 issues, to Dispensationalism.
At least in the newsgroups we tried to keep our discussions first of all civil and secondly, on topic. The topic is using Libronix. The topic is not whatever theological banjo someone prefers to play. I wish the Logos folks would step in and 'lay down the law' on this. It's getting ridiculous.
Please, let's lay down our verbal weapons, and our theological sensitivities and discuss the software.
Your humble and self-appointed moderator,
Thanks Rich -
At one point yesterday I was considering leaving the forums entirely because of the bickering - some of which was my own fault. At this point I will not, but I would like the sniping and "bickering" to stop.
Blessings,
Floyd
Rich
I seem to remember a number of rather testy exchanges on the newsgroups also. Other than that, I agree with your post wholeheartedly.

You're absolutely correct. When I started this thread, all I was interested in was suggesting that the Notes and Appendixes of the Companion Bible by E.W. Bullinger be considered as a possible Logos resource. I've used the printed work here for years and I find it to be a very valuable resource.
The first response that I got from anybody was a generalization that affixed the label of "kook" to anyone that used this work. Then I was told that I'd be better off buying a non-existent book authored by the person calling me (and others) a "kook". Sometimes I don't like to play doormat for people like this.
I use Bullinger's Figures of Speech Used in the Bible and his work Number in Scripture extensively in my studies - as do I use the collation of the Massorah by C.D. Ginsburg and Ginsburg's Massoretico-Critical Edition of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint, BHS, and like works. I find Bullinger's scholarship to be very high in quality, but I do not happen to agree with him on every point. The man was obviously blessed in his work though.
I'd still like to see the side column notes and appendixes from the Companion Bible offered as a Logos resource. I'd also like to see Ginsburg's collation of the Massorah and Ginsburg's Massoretico-Critical Edition of the Hebrew Bible included as resources as well. Those Massorah notes are VERY valuable, and I'm rather surprised how overlooked they are by today's scholars. Both of these works are also out of copyright, so Logos should be able to produce them for perhaps less than some other works that are under copyright.
The Massorah would probably require a new font to be added to Logos though, as all of the various crowned letters that the masoretes used are included in that work - and I've never yet located a font that will display any of these.

Who might that be?
It is hard to imagine you are referring to anyone but me since I am one of the few who ever used the color options in the forums
Your characterizations are false, & nothing more than personal attacks. (KJV, TR, knowledge of Greek, -NEVER posted re:Hebrew)
"There was a certain man who fell among thieves..... "
Since all the old timers appear to tolerate your constant belittleingand borderline vulgarities, I don't expect them to rebuke you now.
Lots of Priests & Levites in these forums, I'm just lookig for the Samaritans.

I find it rather curious that you take this as a personal attack on you. This seems to be the problem with much of what results in "flame wars" on the forum -- everyone seems to think that they are the one's being criticized. If you will trouble yourself to read what I wrote, you will in the first place I was making light of the whole matter by colorizing my reply contrary to my usual custom. Secondly, you will note that I specifically referenced someone who appeared on various forums "including b-greek and b-hebrew." To the best of my knowledge you have never been on either. If I had meant you, I am not too shy to say so. It's time for you to quit looking for a fight. If you choose to reply, I will put you on notice beforehand that I have no intention to respond further.
Mike....I agree. It would be wonderful to have access to the Appendices of the Companion Bible. Even better, the entire work would be a blessing to have in Logos format.
God bless,
Greg
