Trying out Bible Time
I am excited, after having recently switched over to Linux from Windows, to be trying out Bible Time. It is just installing now as I type. It looks very good and just what I want for my Bible studies. I will be sure to leave comments and feedback once it is tried out. Thank you for providing this software, and for free too. Very grateful.
Hi, this is not my software.
Hi, this is not my software. I'm just posting about it and showing others how to access it, so unfortunately I don't have the answers to many of your questions. You can take a look at these alternatives also: http://itswapshop.com/articles/5-best-free-and-open-source-bible-study-programs-linux-and-windows
Trying out Bible Time continued...
Well, I am currently downloading many of the different books and Bibles available with Bible Time and it looks very comprehensive. I am (without yet having tested the software out, just installing) very impressed so far. While I chose to install many of the available download it installs them very quickly and smoothly, not a single crash has happened as yet. I will give further feedback after I have had a test run of the software.
Problem with the Bible translations.
I have downloaded the Bible translations I wanted, but for some reason there are no chapter numbers or verse numbers in the actual Bible texts. Why is this, and is there a way to turn them on so to speak? This needs fixing as you simply cannot read the Bible properly without having the chapter and verse numbers on display.
