9 An example of “exploring”

You can explore, following “trails” of thoughts and related information. Here’s an example...

Lets say you start by clicking “God”, one of the thoughts “pinned” to the top of the screen...

The screen puts that thought “God” in the middle. Numerous “child” thoughts appear beneath it...

You click on “Kingdom of God” (shown above in the lower-right). Then you decide to click on Kingdom Parables...

Under Kingdom Parables you see nine references for those parables, plus other thoughts like Hidden Treasure, Leaven, etc.

That gets you thinking about others of Jesus’ parables, and you notice there’s a parent thought, named “Jesus’ Parables, above the Kingdom Parables thought. You see also that the Jesus’ Parables thought has three green dots on it indicating that thought has parent, child, and jump thoughts attached. You decide to go there; so you click on Jesus’ Parables ...

Under Jesus’ Parables you find 30 Scripture references plus other thoughts.

You click on the thought named, “The reason Jesus employed parables”...

You see two references, both in Matthew. You click on the Matthew 13:34-35 reference titled, “Fulfilled OT prophesy,” ...

You read the Matthew text on the right of your screen; and then notice there’s a “Jump Thought”, a related thought that’s neither a parent or child, off to the side, giving you the prophetic text in Psalms 78:2. You click on that thought...

On the new screen you read Psalms 78:2 text in its immediate context. Seeing there are no further child thoughts to explore, you decide to go “upstream” and check out the parent thought titled “Messianic Prophesies”...

This screen doesn’t show very many Messianic prophesies, and you know there are a lot of them. That illustrates that this Bible Exploration Tool is a work in progress, and probably always will be since it is collecting thoughts on God’s infinitely deep Word. Back to exploration, you decide to explore the prophesy that the Messiah would heal the sick, so you click on that thought...

One child thought is one of the Messianic prophesy texts from Isaiah. Another child thought is one about Jesus’ healing miracles. You click it...

You see a few references, and some categories of Jesus’ healing miracles. Since a common false teaching by many so-called “faith healers” is that one’s faith is essential to be healed, you decide to explore the thought titled, “Without beneficiary’s faith,” ...

Wow! There were a lot of times when Jesus healed people where the text provides no indication the healed person had faith. You click on several of those thoughts and read their Scripture texts...

And on and on... the exporation journey continues...
