Description of LiveVerse
What is LiveVerse.
LiveVerse and its value is something that may be difficult to describe, and see the value and potential of at first, but I am going to try to explain it, from simplicity to detail.
on the simpliest level, LiveVerse is a place where you can look up scriptures, and tag them with keywords that mean something to you, as well as writing a thought , meditation or comment about those scriptures, with the ability to later search against your tags and review your comments.
But this is done in the public sphere (though you can make your comments private), so that you can search against tags that others have tagged scripture for, or look at a scripture or range of scriptures and see the most popular tags for them, and even read others public comments on a scripture. So maybe a particular scripture have 200 comments, and maybe 50 of them have the tag GRACE, which interests you, so you read those. In this way, LiveVerse becomes one large dynamic growing commentary on the bible. Also with LiveVerse you can subscribe to feeds of other peoples verses, Lets say there is a user who you find their comments to be spiritually mature and enlightening for you, then you can subscribe to their feeds, and read the scriptures and verses that add, or maybe you are only interested in scripturesin the ephesians and galations, where they tag it with Grace, then thats all you’ll get, the flexibility the power - its up to you.
so What is life verse? a bible search application? a global commentary? a scripture meditation, journal and devotional tool, a community of people whose hobby is the bible? Its all of the above and more.
