Susan are you here? I'm getting pinged by curiousdanni to remove my comments from the thread we were on.

@HowardPautz hey, sorry, I suggested it to avoid long comment threads but am not able to chat at this moment....will get back with you later, interested to hear your thoughts.

no problem, Susan. I'll delete the comments as you've read them.

@HowardPautz I think the Meta discussion that you linked is the "canonical" discussion (as it were) of this issue. The Blue Letter Bible link is mostly a listing of English versions available there, yes? (The "third" column gives some ancient texts -- am I looking at the right thing?) Or am I missing something? Not sure what's there that is a help here.

@JonEricson Is there somebody from SE Meta who can look into my issue? I'm logged onto Meta, but I can't ask a question(?) Also, on my home computer(not my work computer) I can't enter comments(I can answer questions). What gives?

@JonEricson I have thoroughly swept for virus, malware issues-I don't know if I need a new account....?

@FrankLuke Looks like you might be here today. What is the best online tool you can think of for comparing terms used in different bibles? E.G. Instead of just "life" in NASB vs. that from a particular verse in Hebrew, is there something you have that could give me several Bible's terms and what they meant in English? Thanks.

@JohnMartin At home, I do that exact thing using Bible Works. Do you mean something like Bible Study Tools? When getting just the Hebrew/Greek, I use both blueletterbible and net.bible.org.

BLB has the vowel points (and you can turn on the accent marks), but I haven't found a way to turn them on in net.Bible (though the hover help rocks on net.Bible).

@JohnMartin You could also try BibleArc: when it loads, click on a verse number to see compared text + original lang; click on word in original lang to see definition; from that view use "Search" to search on original language term.

@JohnMartin And have you seen this meta post with reliable online tools?

@FrankLuke Bible Study Tools is the one I had seen and used. I didn't see where I'd saved it, but also wanted to see what you use. I had looked in meta and probably saw "Wikipedia", which I often steer away from. Thanks for each of these suggestions.

@David Thank you too. As I told Frank, I had looked in meta and stayed away from "Wikipedia"; however, I didn't see that Dan had posted it. Thanks for both.

@Davïd - yes you're seeing it correctly. So is there a list somewhere, faq, wiki, etc., of sources? I'm sure not everything goes as it were.

Oh, @Davïd, was just referring to the BlueLetterBible site as it had a nice, easy to find list of sources. Being new here, I just assumed hermeneutics.se would have a simple, but exhaustive, listing of scripture / text sources available and commonly used, e.g. in its wiki, its faq, etc. Canonical or not, that is the only list I've seen (thanks to a user, who's name I've misplaced, telling me about it).
