I realizae that this may not be your thing, but it works for me.
Has anybody released a hack or have a hack that allows me to put an online bible in my vb3 system? A good example can be seen at http://www.christianforums.com/search
Please let me know.

I considered that, but it is very cumberson for what I need. I need an actual bible to put online where users can search through it, sort by verse all the stuff a computer bible is supposed to be. It is running on christian forums so I know it can be done. Erwin paid to remove the copyright and does not reply to my pms so I have no idea where he got it from.

Not sure if this is relevant, but in our forum, we've added in a custom BB tag [ bible ] verse-reference [ /bible ] that fetches the scripture referred to in the tag and inserts it into the post. It uses the ESV (English Standard Version), and makes use of their RSS feed - you can request specific verses/passages, up to 500 verses per request. You need to include a copyright statement on each page with the scripture. Our forum is still in development, but if you know PHP you can look here for more information:
http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/
Using their API, you could also implement a full bible search (not just retrieving passages, but also doing keyword searches, right inside your own site). See my church's web site for an example of this in action:

I believe I saw something for phpbb that was similiar to Erwins - at least in so far as using bbcode to generate specific scripture.
edit: I believe this was it

You may also want to look on sourceforge there are a few bible related projects that may have something you could use.

I added a link to BibleGateway.com (http://www.biblegateway.com) on my website. They have a pre-made html snippet that will add the codebox to your website, though i modified it some to match the look and feel of my board. It allows people to search bible verses by keyword or reference. I'm thinking of adding a [bible] bb tag - I don't know if I'll link that to BibleGateway, or if I'll import the text into the post.
edited to add - the page that has the form to add to your site is here (http://www.biblegateway.com/help/webmaster_tools/form.php).

I have a Bible that was made for other software that might be portable to vBulletin. If people are still interested, I may look at porting in, then - if succesful - make it available for others.

I'm interested in it Christianb :) ... but for 3.5?

I'm going to create a new one from scratch as the other will not port. :)
Edit: Yes, for 3.5.x

Nearing completion of the first part (writing the code - phase 1) - then I need to port it over to vbscript (vbulletin code - phase 2) and then I need to make it into a plugin/product (phase 3). After that - its beta testing. PM me for those wanting to beta test this.

What is the bible that you are talking about here?
Christian Bible. Also known as Scripture, The Word of God. ;)

As soon as I can get it done. I hate to say a week or a month because I'm not sure with what's been going on at work. Trust me, I want time to work on it.

Something new for 3.6.x ?
Maybe something based on SWORD Project (http://www.crosswire.org/sword/) ?

I'll look into that - but the main reason for writing a complete custom script is because of a second hack that I am also work on to go with it. I have access to a public domain Bible in mp3 format but am looking into permissions for rerelease. My main issue right now is trying to merge two sites together. Until then, nothing is happening, even my updates for other hacks I have. This will happen, I just hope it is sooner rather than later.
