🚀 Introducing the Bible Time study app — A Scripture-Focused Tool for Real Spiritual Growth ✝️📖
Ready to actually grow closer to God through Scripture — not just read it? This app is designed to ignite your personal study and your fellowship with others, by starting from two of the most authentic and time-honored translations:
🕊️ Geneva 1560 & KJV 1611 (with Apocrypha)
✅ Old Testament
✅ New Testament
✅ Apocrypha
💡 Why these versions?
Not to force a single view — but to create shared understanding. These two translations form the foundational starting point for every user. When we all begin from the same page, our conversations are richer, deeper, and more fruitful.
But make no mistake:
📚 Other translations are absolutely welcome.
Over time, additional translations — modern, traditional, Messianic, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, etc. — will be added. And like all things in Halcyon, they will be studied, debated, and lovingly dissected in the margins, not in the text.
🗣️ Every version of the Bible has something to teach us. Halcyon just ensures we begin the discussion from a clear, common starting point before exploring further.
We also encourage direct study of the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, as your ability and interest grow.
📜 Core Features
🔀 Random Book & Chapter selection — across the full canon

👤 Share notes as yourself or as “anonymous user” — privacy is respected and built-in
🛡️ Scripture Is Sacred. Period.
This app — and the broader Halcyon framework — is built on one non-negotiable principle: God’s Word must never be altered.
1️⃣ Halcyon will never edit or rewrite Scripture.
No modernization. No paraphrasing. No spin.
2️⃣ We will never create new Bible translations.
The Geneva 1560 and KJV 1611 are the foundation — not to limit study, but to unify discussion.
3️⃣ What we will do is foster global dialogue — around all translations, not inside them.
Reflections and commentary are layered beside the text, never inside it.
4️⃣ As study grows, two parallel views will naturally emerge:
📖 God’s Word — as preserved in every translation we provide
🗣️ Society’s best interpretation — debated and discussed across all added translations
📌 These views may drift or converge — and that’s okay. But the Scripture stays untouched.
We simply ponder it in the margins — where the best insight often lives. ✍️🌾
🔥 Whether you’re new to the Bible or seasoned in the Word, this app helps you:
• Deepen your familiarity with Scripture
• Strengthen your relationship with God through Jesus
• Engage in thoughtful, Spirit-led discussion across translations
🌐 Looking Ahead:
Beta and release candidates will include more translations, community moderation tools, and eventually, decentralized note-sharing — enabling the global Body of Christ to learn, sharpen, and grow together.
This isn’t just a Bible app.
It’s a launchpad for the faithful.
It’s Scripture, preserved.
And it’s fellowship, redefined. 🤝📖
