I’m just curious if anyone has this resource and their thoughts. I have the AMP and like it. Is this worth it?

Seen any good/bad reviews? Thx in advance

    [quote]LEVI FOLLOWS JESUS

    (5:27–32; Matt. 9:9–13; Mark 2:13–17)
    27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax collector’s booth [probably a tariff booth for taxing goods in transit]. Jesus said to him, “Follow me!” 28 So Levi got up, left everything, and followed him.
    29 Then Levi gave a ·big dinner [great banquet] for Jesus at his house. Many tax collectors and other people were ·eating there [reclining; around a low table, the posture for a formal banquet or dinner party], too. 30 But the Pharisees and ·the men who taught the law for the Pharisees [their scribes] began to ·complain [grumble] to Jesus’ ·followers [disciples], “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” [Tax collectors were despised because they worked for the Roman rulers and were notorious for corruption and extortion.]
    31 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy people who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to ·invite [call] ·good people [the righteous; meaning the “self-righteous” who feel no need to repent] but sinners to ·change their hearts and lives [repentance].”

    It's a matter of personal taste - I find the expansion to be intrusive and would prefer a study bible notes format.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Thank you MJ. What’s it like reading in logos? The preview has astericks everywhere which seems like it would be annoying. Power lookup would help I guess

    Turning off Resource Footnote Indicators causes Expanded Bible stuff to be hidden

    Keep Smiling [:)]

    Interesting!  I didn't know there was an option for that.  I'll have to dig around later for that one.  Thx KS4J (and MJ!)

    This resource doesn't fair well in the web app so I'll have to try it at home.  All I can see is astericks that don't tell me anything :(
