Excellent introduction to using the new features in Logos 10 desktop and mobile. Informative and helpful demonstration, well worth the time to see the features being used in context, thanks.
Thanks for the interesting and informative video on using Logos 10 mobile features. Psalms 82 is an interesting study so thanks for using it to illustrate these features. I'd like to read your article when you are finished pertaining to how you interpret Jesus using this passage in John 10.
I wanted to reach out and express my gratitude for the informative and helpful video you created on using Logos 10 for academic purposes. As a student/researcher/professional, I found your video to be incredibly useful and informative, and it has helped me navigate the platform more efficiently and effectively. Your clear and concise explanations, as well as your tips and tricks, were especially helpful and will undoubtedly make a significant difference in my academic work. Once again, thank you for your time and effort in creating such an excellent video. It is much appreciated.
I’m considering moving to logos and your videos on how to use Logos on the iPad seal the deal for me, thank you. Awesome video and I am very receptive to your teaching style. The background music is too loud and is distracting my focus from what you’re teaching. I look forward to learning from you. Thank you. TGBTG.
Thank you for your feedback, I will take that in consideration when I create a next video! Btw, send me an e-mail at logos.trainer [@] gmail.com if you are interested in a massive discount on your first Logos package.
Thank you, just lowering the music background volume should be good. I’m interested in the Logos Silver package. Do you get the full feature set with Silver or would I need to purchase the full feature set as an add on? What I would like from Logos is teaching, preaching, historical studies, research and personal growth. Thank you again. Canon.
Silver gives you most of the features (including e.g. the Sermon editor and the Sermon Manager). The two most important features that are not included in Silver, are the Auto Translate tool on desktop and the Print Library Catalogue.

I’m impressed! You showed us a lot of features we aren’t utilizing (I can only speak for myself), and I appreciate all the knowledge you dropped. However, I do not agree that on your interpretation of the gods. From context, and John 10:34 you referenced, the gods mentioned are none other than the wicked, and more specifically wicked Israel. Read Ps. 82:6, the whole verse that describes these gods. And it’s why the Jews also went to seize Jesus after he quoted the passage. He was telling them that they are wicked Israel, no better than their fathers. The psalmists thinks the wicked must be like gods since nothing ever happens to them. Nevertheless, v7, like men you shall die.
Thank you for your compliments and feedback! Regarding Psalm 82, of course, I can't go into too much detail here, but I feel that it is the most natural reading to read 'gods' as 'gods'. Some of the reasons I don't believe the gods are anything else than the false gods, are: 1. the 'great assembly' or 'divine council' is a well-known technical term for the Near Eastern pantheon (to which the author of the Psalm says goodbye in this poem!) 2. the text speaks about God judging the gods, not human beings, so it is the most natural reading to interpret the gods as gods (if possible, and that seems to be the case) 3. in Hebrew, the phrase 'they know nothing, they understand nothing', also occurs as EXACTLY the same phrase (and nowhere else) in Isa 44:18, where the context clearly indicates that the 'they' in the phrase applies to false gods 4. Ps. 82:8 clarifies that the focus of the psalm is not locally restricted to Israel, but universally encompassing all the earth (see also verse 5 'all the foundations of the earth are shaken') 5. In John 10, Jesus addresses the accusation of blasphemy. If the gods in Psalm 82 refer to humans, then Jesus is undermining his all argument that he in fact is the Son of God. Because, then, the argument would run like this: hey, hey, don't worry, didn't God call humans 'sons of God' in Psalm 82?! If God calls humans 'sons of God' why are you taking an issue with me calling myself 'son of God'? This is very unlikely. I believe the opposite is true: Jesus is referring to Psalm 82 because in that psalm, the WORKS of the 'gods' showed that they were in fact not worthy of the name 'god' (because 'gods' do - are supposed to do - what is right), while - if you look at the WORKS of Jesus, then you see that he is doing exactly the works that are ascribed to God, which means he has the perfect right to call himself God.
