I think it's time for another push on this, so I've added another reason to vote for it here: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/169335/979212.aspx
It shows how easy it is to mislead readers and how hard it is for most of us to check the claims. I happen to have the journal that was referenced and Thiselton's commentary, along with a little time to wade through the many pages required to check the references to it. I don't think many of us have this time for every issue, so it would be useful if Logos produced the suggested resource.

Thanks.

Many thanks, Bruce.
It's been nearly four years, but children, house moves, job changes and life have got in the way of progress with this.
Uservoice has been mothballed, so my initial suggestion has now been archived with 192 votes (https://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-see-feedback-faithlife-com/suggestions/17871697-create-a-database-of-biblical-issues-and-stances-w). It was the nineteenth most popular choice at the time.
I can't see it having migrated to https://feedback.faithlife.com/roadmap?board_id=2, so does that mean that the idea has been dropped? I hope not.

Nothing was automatically migrated. It simply means no one has reintroduced/migrated it.
Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."

Thanks, MJ.
Does that mean I have to restart it as a suggestion from scratch, losing the support that the suggestion initially had?
Also, I had updated the spreadsheet showing the kind of thing I meant, expanding it to include the whole New Testament. It's far from complete, but shows the direction I was suggesting. Unfortunately, that means that it is now over 20 MB. When I tried to upload it earlier, it kept coming back with an error message. Do you know if there's a file size limit on the forums?
Andrew Baguley:Does that mean I have to restart it as a suggestion from scratch, losing the support that the suggestion initially had?
Yes, it does
Andrew Baguley:Do you know if there's a file size limit on the forums?
Yes, there is. Did you zip it? try the Amber upload beside the paperclip? final suggestion is always dropbox.
Hi Andrew,
I think this is a great idea! If you recreate it in the new Faithlife Feedback platform, and maybe start a new forum thread with a clearer subject line to promote it, I'm sure it will garner many votes. At least you'll have mine.
Thanks for suggesting this! I do hope this is considered and implemented by FL!

Thanks, MJ. That couldn't be clearer.

Thanks for this, too. I'll give it a go.

Thanks for the support, PL. If I'm starting from scratch with support, then a clearer subject line may well help.
I'll use this thread to experiment with uploading first though.
As noted above, the latest version includes the whole New Testament, although most work has been done on Philippians and Jude. It can be found here: New Testament Issues 10.xlsm
There could be a lot more data, and the questions are probably more translation-related as many came from SIL International’s Exegetical Summaries series, so it could do with many interpretation questions being added, but does this idea seem helpful to others?

The Amber upload worked a treat. As it says "Insert Image" when you hover over it, I hadn't thought to try it.
Thanks again.
Thanks again for the support, PL, and for the suggestions.
