  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I enjoy the greek and hebrew texts, the strongs kjv text, the ESV version of the Bible,
Gills commentary and ...that is about it. the rest I could take or leave. I have downloaded a fair number of others, but some are just not that useful to me on a regular basis.

Another free tool I just stumbled on that is not a part of esword, but is also free and quite cool is the interlinear scripture analyzer.

It gives an interlinear text with a very customizable feature set. The interlinear obviously retains the word order in the Hebrew or Greek so it is good for study purposes and analysis.

You have the option for the WH Greek text or the NA 27/UBS text, and it can list grammatic tags that parse verbs, etc. And since the English is right there it is faster if you forget a word than even esword. But you can also right click on the Greek/Hebrew word and pull up the Strongs info. And even those who don't know Greek could benefit from the grammar tags if they had an elementary understanding of the parts of speech.

It has a fairly limited amount of versions you can download for standard English window, but I do think there was at least one more besides the KJV.

Here is a screenshot :

Hey y'all!
For those who use e-Sword: What e-Sword modules have you found to be most beneficial in your Bible study? What modules (that you haven't downloaded) do you think would be beneficial?

~Tim :thumbsup:

I have found that my Strongs is very helpful. I have used some of the others but this one has helped me the most. I love the maps as well. You might want to try the version with the Hebrew names.:angel: :holy: :cool:

Too bad it is Windows only.

Sure is... Have you checked out the Sword project? They have links to software for Mac (I use MacSword, it's great), Linux, Windows and other platforms. They also have quite a collection of bible texts, commentaries, and other books available for download. All for free!

I don't have enough posts to post links yet, but the site is [posted in the next post]

Here's the link from below. http://www.crosswire.org/sword/index.jsp


My favorites are Nave's Topical, the Strong's numbers and the parallel passage setup.

Well I use the NASB for 95% of my work. However, the YLT is my second favorite Bible. Vincent's Word Studies and Robertson's Word Pictures are my two favorite commentaries. I don't read any other commentaries. Thayer's is my most used dictionary.

If you can't tell I deal a lot with the Greek, so I'm pretty biased. The Greek texts are amazingly helpful.
