Does anyone have any info on the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament and the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament? I remember reading years ago that they were questionable and not to be trusted. I have been using the Olive Tree app for years and they add those extra definitions to Strong's Lexicon. I had forgotten about that until finding an error today - which was not in Strongs in Swordsearcher. Looking quickly online, I see the TDNT was edited by Gerhard Kittel - a german higher critic who was antisemitic and a supporter of the nazis. I hope I have not accepted any of their definitions that may have been off, but I am going to have to dig into the studies and devotionals I have posted the last several years just to be sure.
I find both of these works have value, but as with ANY work produced by men, you still have to let the Holy Spirit guide & direct you.
I accept the KJV as the Word of God preserved in the English tongue. I have been studying the Word, formally and informally, for over 30 years. And I trust the Holy Ghost, and what the Word teaches of His ministry (especially what those red words in John 14-17 say about the Spirit and believers). So no matter the extra Biblical reference work, I try to judge whatever is said according to the Word.
I also will look at Vine's, but find him somewhat untrustworthy at times, in terms of what we are discussing, much more than Robertsons.
I wish they were available for SwordSearcher, and I understand in general why they may not be available right now.
MyBible, which is an Android app, does give you access to at least TWOT & Vines, and some others. The devolper is based in Russia I believe.
And (this has nothing to do with what we are discussing) - Man! I gotta update my profile pic!
