Advanced Searches

Advanced search options are available to find articles based on either a book from the Bible or a particular Bible Passage.

I wish you could search all at once. However, that capability is beyond what I can offer for no charge. And I really don’t want to charge for anything on the site. So, with apologies, you must pick a site.

Start by choosing which site you’d like to search in.

God versus religion (where you are now) just scroll down

Search by Bible Passage

This will return all articles that contain references to the Bible passage you select from the list below. Note, passage names are from the 1984 NIV translation.

There is at least one article for each book in the list. The rare exception is if you happen to select a passage while in literally in the process of writing the first article to use that passage.

Tears of God? I can't imagine there's even one second when someone isn't doing something to make God cry. Maybe someone who hasn't been saved - dies - and is forever lost.
