PC Study Bible - How can it help bible research
There are many bible software in the market. So I think it is a good idea to have some review for some of them. I own an copy of one bible software name PC Study Bible. This program is a bible software from BibleSoft.com. It is the most comprehensive collection of bible reference in the market. The latest version is version number 5. In this article, I would like to give you in 3 common perspective when review anything. It is the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Strong Point - Referencing Researching is one of the basic task in bible researching. You can decide how good bible program is by trying their search functionality. This program will usually have related source that is relevant to your typed in keywords. This referencing makes PC Study Bible very Strong in researching capabilities because this software can reference to a large collection of bible data sources which can have both version of Hebrew and Jewish.
Weak Point 1 - Input Most bible researching software at present support recommended search input through mouse clicks. These program will suggest key phrase automatically. So all you have to do is just point and click to the words. This is one of the bad point of PC Study Bible because the software does not have this function. You need to enter your key phrase directly to the search box to get any results. This limited function make it far behind other major bible program on the market. I wish in the next major release of the program, they will have this function.
Weak Point 2 - Sluggish Version 4 of PC Study Bible is very sleek to work with. Each function gets the jobs done and they work in very fast manner. Too bad, this truth does not hold for the latest version 5 of PC Study Bible. The latest version is very sluggish and requires a lot of resource from your PC. You cannot start many programs along with PC Study Bible because your PC will be unusable.
Currently I have 2 bible software on my PC. One is PC Study Bible and another one is the well-know bible software in open source world called "E-Sword". E-Sword is faster than PC study bible software so I use it for general bible research. On the other hand, PC study bible has better support on foreign language bible such as Greek and Hebrew. It works together pretty well.

What's the Bible reference that made Columbus think the world was round???
I have to have an answer by Wen. and I can't find anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It had nothing to do with some saying in the bible. During the time of Columbus it was common knowledge among sailors and scholars that the world was round and such knowledge was known for many years.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) argued in his writings that the Earth was spherical, because of the circular shadow it cast on the Moon, during a lunar eclipse. Another reason was that some stars visible from Egypt are not seen further north The full quotation can be found here.
The Alexandria philosopher Eratosthenes went one step further and actually estimated how large the Earth was. He was told that on midsummer day (June 21) in the town of Syene in southern Egypt (today Aswan, near a huge dam on the river Nile) the noontime Sun was reflected in a deep well, meaning that it was right overhead, at zenith. Eratosthenes himself lived in Alexandria, near the river's mouth, north of Syene, about 5000 stadia north of Syene (the stadium, the size of a sports arena, was a unit of distance used by the Greeks). In Alexandria the Sun on the corresponding date did not quite reach zenith, and vertical objects still threw a short shadow. Eratosthenes established that the direction of the noon Sun differed from the zenith by an angle that was 1/50 of the circle, that is, 7. 2 degrees, and from that he estimated the circumference of the Earth to be 250,000 stadia.
Other estimates of the size of the Earth followed. Some writers reported that the Greek Posidonius used the greatest height of the bright star Canopus above the horizon, as seen from Egypt and from the island of Rhodes further north (near the southwestern tip of Turkey). He obtained a similar value, a bit smaller. The Arab Khalif El Ma'mun, who ruled in Baghdad from 813 to 833, sent out two teams of surveyors to measure a north-south baseline and from it also obtained the radius of the Earth. Compared to the value known today, those estimates were pretty close to the mark.
The idea of sailing westward to India dates back to the early Romans. According to Dr. Irene Fischer, who studied this subject, the Roman writer Strabo, not long after Erathosthenes and Posidonius, reported their results and noted:
"if of the more recent measurements of the Earth, the one which makes the Earth smallest in circumference be introduced--I mean that of Posidonius who estimates its circumference at about 180,000 stadia, then. . . "
and he continues:
"Posidonius suspects that the length of the inhabited world, about 70,000 stadia, is half the entire circle on which it had been taken, so that if you sail from the west in a straight course, you will reach India within 70,000 stadia. "
Tell whoever said to get this from the bible to become better educated.
It's neither moral nor Christian to not help others
Several letter writers have implied that to involve government in health care is contrary to Christianity - because it mandates "help," that should be voluntary.
