Twos app is where you can write everything down. Notes, tasks, ideas etc. I live in this app to the extent I rarely use any other app. It is rock solid, blazingly fast to load and using the app is frictionless!
I’ve had the Olive Tree app for many years. It is smooth all the time and is really great. I more frequently use the Logos app because it has some better features, in my opinion. However, there are occasional, little glitches too. But I love them both. Thanks for the video and keep studying! God bless.
The Logos bible makes the Olive Tree Bible look like a joke! I haven't looked at it in years, but I think I should give it another look. It was always more impressive, less smooth... but more feature rich!
@ Thank you for responding! Yes, since you are a note-taker (as am I), you’ll see there are some cool features with Logos notes - different color fonts, font sizes, highlights, etc. Plus, if you take a note on a verse, you could anchor it to other verses as well. You could also mark up the Bible text itself in multiple ways. I can go on and on. But Logos does take Bible study to a new level and increases my desire to study the word.
Islam, Was wondering which translations do you read? Or which do you find most relevant? I was let down with KJV (King James version) the language is somehow hard to read.
*long post alert* KJV is in the line of translations referred to as "formal equivalence". These translations attempt to keep as close to the form of the original languages (Hebrew, Aramaic & Greek) as possible. KJV is an old translation. English language has evolved over the years and today's reader may struggle with "Shakespeare English" 😂. It has a newer version NKJV with easier mordern English. Others in the line of 'formal equivalence' would be NASB (2020) (New American Standard Bible) and NRSV (New Revised Standard Version). Any of these is good. The problem with 'formal equivalence' is that in some occasions, meaning is lost when trying to translate literally. This is why you might want a translation that attempts to retain the meaning in Hebrew & Greek but put their words and idioms into what would be the normal way of saying the same thing in modern english. These are called "functional (or dynamic) equivalence. For this category I'd recommend NIV (New International Version) (2011), CSB (Christian Standard Bible) or NET (New English Translation).

Yes, that app looks very smooth. We hadn't properly explored it to really appreciate it, but... will definitely do now!
I love that you use it everyday. I found such an incredible quote that says. You dont read the bible the Bible reads you.
That is a powerful quote!

Can you buy other Bibles in the store?
Yes. The store has many Bibles, including audio Bibles.

I have moved around through many translations, NKJV, NIV, NLT. Right now, I've been learning the KJV and it's stuck I think.
This is a very useful breakdown! Thank you so much!
