| Wordle the Word |
Alright, I admit it: these are kind of fun. This time, I entered the books of the Bible, the New Testament authors, and every biblical synonym, adjective, metaphor, etc. for the Word of God that I could think of, and here it is: the “Wordled” Word. As you can see, it’s black & white.
Can you think of any biblical words or phrases I could have added?

It's excellent. A thing of beauty.
What's the word under Matthew?

It’s θεοπνευστος. Can’t you read? You know, “All scripture is θεοπνευστος, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).
θεοπνευστος (theopneustos): God-breathed
I didn’t mean to show off — I’m not really a Greek scholar — it just fits the puzzle a lot better than “given by inspiration of God.” Yes, I could have used “God-breathed,” but . . . OK, I was showing off a little.

I really like these.
I wonder what one would look like with the Greek word-the transliteration-and the English word? You could use the ESV Reverse interlinear to get your words.
I guess that would look a little busy--and who would get it anyway.
I am going to make it a project to figure out how to do this.
Thanks for the good stuff that's also fun.

I know you do not have time for this, but I can't help but wonder how you were able to print a Greek word with Greek letters.

Victoria, many fonts include Greek letters. The most common fonts, like Times New Roman, include hundreds of characters for various languages. Also, there are html entities (which is what I used) that can be used to represent numerous characters, including math symbols (πr², ³√8), currency symbols (£, €), and Latin accent characters (piñata). Here is a good source of html entities. You have to remember that they only work with fonts that include the characters they represent.

Thanks.

How exciting! I was able to copy and paste θεοπνευστος(doesn't exactly work here) into Word with Times New Roman and it worked.
I always knew there was a really good reason I need to skip around daily to my favorite blog sites-you never know what wonder you may learn.
