Version 1.0.0 Initial Release

BibleRef

This Discord bot was developed as a personal project to replace multiple bots in my server with just one. If you see this I have made this public and anyone is free to do what they wish with this project.

BibleRef is a comprehensive tool for Bible study and engagement, featuring the full King James Version (KJV) Bible and the Strong's Concordance. It includes a variety of features to enrich your spiritual journey and make Bible study more interactive and enjoyable. The bot is built using Node.js, making it straightforward to self-host and customize according to your needs.

Note

This was created with God's will and ChatGPT, all glory to God it is working. 🙏

Tip

More trivia questions are always needed and I am open to other suggestions, however my coding skills are rather limited.

Important

Please accept my formal apology to the coding community for creating what I can only assume is a disgrace.

Warning

This bot will require you setup a discord bot using the Discord developer portal. It is free and easy, there are many guides available.
