A research assistant for class prep, sermon prep, and personal study. Grounded in Scripture, transparent about its sources, and unwilling to invent.
Type a Bible study question. The tool searches a curated library, retrieves the passages most relevant to your question, and writes an answer that cites every source it used. Each citation links back to the exact passage so you can verify the claim for yourself.
It is a research assistant, not an authority. Scripture is the final word. The tool draws only from the material in this collection. If a topic is not covered, it will say so plainly rather than fabricate.
Three things the tool will never do:
You can ask questions immediately. The library is already stocked with the following public-domain and licensed reference works:
| Title | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Biblical Standard Version (BSV) | Bible | Sunset's preferred translation; Straight Truth Press |
| King James Version | Bible | For traditional phrasing comparisons |
| American Standard Version | Bible | More literal, Revised-tradition predecessor of NASB |
| Strong's Greek Lexicon | Lexicon | Numbered entries; quick glosses |
| Strong's Hebrew Lexicon | Lexicon | Numbered entries; quick glosses |
| Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon | Lexicon | Full scholarly entries with usage notes |
| Brown-Driver-Briggs (BDB) | Lexicon | Standard Hebrew lexicon |
| International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915) | Encyclopedia | ~9,300 articles; biographies, geography, theology, customs |
| That You May Have Life (Larry Deason) | Commentary | In-depth study of the Gospel of John |
Whenever you add a book, sermon file, or lecture-note PDF of your own, it joins this list. The tool retrieves from the whole collection, so a question can pull a verse from the Bible, a Greek gloss from Thayer's, and a paragraph from your own notes all in the same answer.
On the Study page, type your question and click Ask. Ctrl + Enter (or Cmd + Enter on Mac) submits without reaching for the mouse.
The Role selector beside the Ask button tunes the tool's framing. Personal answers are concise and assume you are theologically trained. Faculty answers are more substantive with fuller citations. Student answers define technical terms when first used and will not write a paper for you. Pick whichever fits the moment.
You can ask about Greek or Hebrew words by lemma, transliteration, Strong's number, or the English word as it appears in a particular verse. The tool will pull lexicon entries from the retrieved sources and may also draw on standard scholarly knowledge of the biblical languages when needed.
Questions that ask the tool to read your mind or guess your application generally produce thin answers. Be specific about the text, the passage, or the topic.
Every substantive claim in the answer is marked with a citation pill like [Source 3]. Below the answer, a numbered Sources used panel lists each one with a precise citation (for example, KJV - Acts 2:38 or ISBE - BAPTISM (THE BAPTIST INTERPRETATION) part 2 of 10). Always look at the source the tool cited before treating a claim as settled.
When the retrieved sources disagree among themselves, the tool will name the disagreement and explain which view is best supported by Scripture (see section 5). When the corpus does not address a question, the tool will say so rather than guess.
The small timing line under the answer reports how many sources were retrieved. Eight sources is a strong retrieval. One or two suggests your question may be too narrow for the current library, or worded in a way that did not match well.
This tool operates from a New Testament Christianity, Restoration Movement, church of Christ framework. Scripture is the final authority. The tool is not denominationally neutral by accident; it is deliberately grounded.
You may sometimes see an answer cite a source and then explicitly disagree with it. That is the framework working as intended. The library contains views the tool does not endorse; the tool's job is to engage them from Scripture, not to ignore them.
The framework also makes the tool conservative about its claims. It distinguishes explicit biblical statements from necessary implications, historical observations, personal applications, and speculation. When Scripture is silent or unclear, the tool will say so rather than invent a position.
Below every answer is a Save button. Click it and the question, answer, and sources are bookmarked under your account. Find them again any time on the My Studies page. From there you can rename, expand to re-read, print, or delete. Saved studies are private to your account.
Four buttons sit below every answer for moving it into your own materials:
The print layout hides the navigation and form. You get a clean page: the question at the top, the answer, the sources at the end. Uncheck Headers and footers in the print dialog to remove the browser's date stamp and URL footer if you want it tidier.
The tool's answers are only as deep as the material it can draw from. Your own sermon files, lecture notes, dissertations, and class commentaries make it dramatically more useful for your work.
Go to Library and look at the upload card. You have two ways to add a source:
Click Choose File and select a PDF, Word document, or plain text file (up to 100 MB). The tool reads the file, pulls the title, author, publisher, and source type out of the front matter automatically, and fills in the form. Review the fields, fix anything that came through wrong, and click Add to library.
If your materials live in Google Drive or OneDrive, use the cloud buttons:
Some PDFs are image-only scans with no text layer underneath. When you try to add one, the tool may report that it could not extract usable content. Run the file through OCR first: Adobe Acrobat (Tools → Scan & OCR), Microsoft OneDrive (View Online auto-OCRs), or Google Drive (Open with Google Docs) will all produce a searchable version. Then re-upload.
Three visibility settings exist:
You can edit or delete any source you own at any time. Deleting it removes its content from future answers.
Click Settings in the top right to manage your profile:
You can link a Google or Microsoft account to sign in without typing a password. On the Settings page, the Linked accounts panel offers a Link button for each provider you have not connected and an Unlink button for those you have. Linking is a one-click round-trip; once it is in place, the matching button on the sign-in page lets you in directly.
If you sign in by Google or Microsoft, you do not need to set a password unless you also want the option to sign in by username.
Click Sign out in the top right to end your session. Your sign-in stays valid for thirty days on this browser unless you sign out explicitly.
Email the administrator (dennis@lubbockchurch.org) and a reset can be issued. If you have a Google or Microsoft account linked, you can keep signing in through that while you wait.
