I'm not sure what you mean by "strange results." However, I did try the search in BibleWorks ('*@&n-n?-?& EIMI@&v???--??& *@&dn??& *@&n-n?-?& if you need the search argument) and did come up with a quite a list. Much of it was invalid. It's a computer problem--they will recognize patterns, but don't know grammar. They know a noun when they see one (someone told it, but couldn't pick out an anarthrous noun to save your life.

In other words, the computer is good for pulling out possibilities, but are you will still need to sort through the results.

To All

I have been trying Colwell type searches (anarthrous noun copulative
verb arthrous noun) using logos. I am getting some strange results. Has
anyone tried this? What did you use as a search argument? Were all
hits valid or are some invalid hits normal? Has anyone tried this
search or Granville Sharp type searches on other software i.e.
bibleworks or gramcord.

in Christ
Tom
