INDIVIDUAL VERSES, SELECTION SETS, PASSAGE SETS, AND CATECHISMS:

There are currently two ways to learn a new verse on this website:
1. Choose individual verses: This option allows you to create a set of one to four verses in sequential order. When created this way, the set of one to four verses will show up as individual verses on the Learn or Review section of the Dashboard (e.g., Verses coming up: Heb 11:1-2, Romans 3:23)
2. Create a verse set: This option allows you to create a Selection set or a Passage set.
a. A Selection set is a selection of individual verses linked to a common theme (e.g. The Romans Road). There are many to choose from on this website, or you can create your own.
b. A Passage set is a selection of individual verses in sequential order (e.g. Romans 12).
i. There is a 200-verse limit for verses added this way, so you can span several chapters if you wish (Romans 1-4).
ii. You can section breaks for these verses (e.g. Rom 12:1-2, 3-8, 9-13, 14-21) to make it easier to learn but this is totally optional.

Once you create a passage or selection set there is currently no way to delete it. You can, however, stop learning in one of two ways.

If you have not learned a verse in the set:
1. On your Dashboard, move down to the Review or Learn section and find the verse set
2. Click Cancel to the right of the set
3. Click OK on the confirmation screen

If you have already learned a verse in the set but the above will not remove it:
1. Click on your username in the blue Dashboard bar at the top
2. Click on Verse Progress
3. On the Progress stats screen, search for the verse
4. Click on the three bars to the right of the verse and click Stop learning this
5. NOTE: When you do this, keep in mind that you will lose any Longest streak or Current streak stats on your main page until you add the verse back.

USERNAMES AND PROFILES:

There is currently no way to change your username. You can contact the website administrator Luke Plant to delete your account (see below), but that username remains taken forever. If you do not like your username, unfortunately you will have to create a new account on the website which will have no verse stats or verse streaks.

There is no user customization beyond the username other than to designate that you are below 13 years old or to announce publicly your first and last name. Profile pictures or icons do not exist currently on this website.

CATECHISMS

Catechisms are sets of established questions and answers usually aligned to a specific denomination (e.g. Westminster Shorter Catechism in Modern English). When you add a catechism, it will show up on your Dashboard Learn queue usually under the Other verses section. Learning a question from a catechism counts as a verse on your Longest streak and Current streak score.

To cancel a catechism:
1. On your Dashboard, move down to the Review or Learn section and find the catechism set
2. Click Cancel to the right of the set
3. Click OK on the confirmation screen

If it is still showing up on your Review screen:
1. Click on your username in the blue Dashboard bar at the top
2. Click on Verse Progress
3. On the Progress stats screen, choose Type: Catechism
4. Search for the question
5. Click on the three bars to the right of the verse and click Practice question
6. Click Stop learning this question
7. NOTE: Removing a question this way will cause you to lose any Longest streak or Current streak stats on your main page until you add the question back.

NEWS AND GROUP COMMENTS

Once you make a comment in a group, that comment is public forever. It will also show up in the News sidebar of the website. There is currently no way to delete those messages or to block seeing the comments of individual or to block users from your News feed. If you wish, you may contact the website administrator who may choose to delete your account, but any messages posted will remain with a [Deleted] tag beside them instead of your username.

The News feed on your Dashboard favors the comments of people you are currently following or groups you are currently a member of. You can click on See more news… to see the full news feed.

GROUPS

The easiest way to invite a user is to give them the name of the group or send a direct link for them to click on (e.g., https://learnscripture.net/groups/bible-memory-tips/). If you wish to invite someone individually, however, there are two ways to do it.

When creating a new group:
1. From the Dashboard, click the View other groups link on the right side
2. Choose create your own
3. On the Group details, choose the Invited users
4. When you add a person this way, it will put the following message at the top of the Dashboard in Yellow: “<username> invited you to join the group <Test Group>”.
5. The invitee will then need to click on the Group name and choose Join group.

When the group already exists:
1. From the Dashboard, click the group name listed under Your groups on the right side
2. On the right side under See also, click on Edit this group
3. On the Group details, choose the Invited users
4. When you add a person this way, it will put the following message at the top of the Dashboard in Yellow: “<username> invited you to join the group <Test Group>”.
5. The invitee will then need to click on the Group name and choose Join group.

STATS, STREAKS, AND POINTS

The stats, streaks, and points sections of the website display the points or achievements you earn automatically as you memorize the Bible. These points are given based upon how well you do and the length of the verse.

Most users fall into one of two categories related to these stats:
1. Some have a competitive personality and use them as motivators
2. Others prefer a humility-based approach to learning verses (i.e., Matthew 6:3).

While the points given and streaks earned automatic, what you do with them is totally optional. If you are interested in using these as motivational tools, feel free to join groups like the Leaderboard group for everyone (public) or the Multi-Millionaires’ Club! (invite only after reaching 2 million points). Keep in mind that every group has a leaderboard, and the two below are the most popular.
1. https://learnscripture.net/groups/leaderboard-group-for-everyone/
2. https://learnscripture.net/groups/the-multi-millionaire-club/

If you prefer a humility-based approach, the best choice is to not join any groups. If you are not in a group, no one can see your points unless they click on your name directly. You may, however, still receive comments from users congratulating you on reaching a public milestone or when you publicly join a group or learn a passage set or a selection set.

Removing a verse from your Review queue or resetting the progress of a verse will eliminate your Longest and Current streaks. If you remove the verse, you can always add it back to restore this streak. Resetting a verse removes it from the streak permanently, but the points earned before the reset will remain on the User information screen as well as on the leaderboard of any group you join. If you find your streak missing, it is likely related to one of these options.

To reset your progress on a verse permanently:
1. Start a review of the verse
2. Click on the three bars and choose Reset Progress
3. Click OK on the warning screen
4. Note: Once you click OK your spaced repetition progress resets to 0% and you have to start over as if you have never touched that verse. Any points earned from this verse, however, remain on your tally.

It is possible to have a verse in a selection set, a passage set, and an individual verse set at the same time. The website keeps track of your verse progress by verse, and you only receive points and verse progress once regardless of which way you added it.
Example: You add Romans 3:23 as an individual verse and a passage set for Romans 3:23-26. When you learn the individual verse, it acts as a normal verse ready for review and you earn points. If you then choose the passage set and try to review it, the verse will already show completed and ready to skip to the next verse. On your items started streak, it would only show one verse added even though you technically added two verses (i.e., one verse in two different ways).

BADGES

Badges are earned by reaching certain milestones on your account. You can review them here: https://learnscripture.net/badges/

The Addict badge works on a 24-hour clock. The easiest way to get this badge is to create a list of all 24 hours and delete an hour when you know you’ve reviewed a verse during that hour. This will show you which hours you need to target to complete this badge.

SPACED REPETITION

As you successfully review a verse, it will increase your learning interval based on how long you have been reviewing the verse and how well you did based upon spaced repetition. You can find out more information about spaced repetition here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition

If you find that the spaced repetition percentages are not working for you, or you want to review a verse more frequently, the best option is to create a Passage set based on that verse and review it as desired. When you go to review a verse in a passage set that is not ready to review based upon spaced repetition, however, it will show you the verse as read only. You can override this feature a

Thank you so much “janet23.” May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family. 🤗🙌🏻

you just need to press the cancel button

Hi! I discovered this website about 2 months ago, and I didn’t know what I was doing. I created a lot of “passage sets” instead of “selection sets.” And now I want to figure out how to change the “passage sets” into “selection sets,” (if that’s possible). Or if there is not a way to do that, is there a way to delete passage sets? Thank you, Jesus loves you all. Get to know HIM, He saved and changed my life. 🙌🏻💗

Hi MadieGrace. I'm sorry to hear that, that you haven't gotten an answer. I'm afraid I don't know who I could point you to. I assume the website administrator is kind of letting the website run on its own these days. I noticed the same thing happened with Memverse several years ago. One thought, though, there are people here who have started using a new identity by signing up again using a different e-mail address. Of course then you'd have to leave behind whatever you've achieved with "MadieGrace". I hope that helps a little.

*since I sent the email.

It has been over two weeks sent I sent the email

So, I sent an email to: contact@learnscripture.net: and have yet to hear anything back. Could you point me to someone who might know how to do that?

you're welcome :)

ok thank you so much!

When I said "he" I meant the website administrator. contact@learnscripture.net I'm writing this to the several people who have asked, "How can I change my username?"

There's a message on this thread if you scroll down from onfire247 where he suggested contacting the website administrator. I think he will answer your question.

Is anybody going to answer

I would like to know how to change a username as well, thanks.

I would also like to know how to change a username. So if anyone knows how, please respond

Please answer as soon as possible> Thanks! :)

Question: Can you change a username? If so, HOW?

Does anybody have a good answer for my previous question?

Hey! How do I stop learning a catechism? I can get rid of individual questions, but how do I stop learning the whole thing? Thank you!

okay but how does another user able to silence others/ cause FinalAsguard is the one that silenced him for 24 hours and never undid it

Interesting. I see what you mean. When I go to https://learnscripture.net/user/legendslivehere/ I see no public comments whatsoever. I suggest your brother contact Luke, the website administrator, at contact@learnscripture.net. He is pretty responsive to emails.

My brothers account is LegendsLiveHere/ all his comments since a little over two weeks ago have been silenced on all groups the user that silenced him silenced several others to, but my brothers was only supposed to be silenced for at most 48 hours/ the group all this went down in was SPYDER 2.O

Can you clarify what you mean by comment? Is this a post by your brother to a specific group? If so, what group and what comment are you missing? Is this a comment on an achievement? If so, which one? To my knowledge, all comments are public, and there is very little policing on this website. That's why you see names like "deeznuts".

*temporarily silenced

Jello, I am not seeing comments posted by my brother or several other users there was a user that silence people but that was a couple of weeks ago/ so i should be able to see them now/ I know there are comments that are not there cause they are on my brothers account but not mine

hi

Thank you sir!

About the news feed - while most news items appear on everyone's feed, it is customised according to people that you follow and groups that you are a member of, to make it more relevant to you.

treeswallow - I've corrected Q61 in the Heidelberg catechism now.

This is the info given on the website for those joining a group.
By joining this group, you will join the leaderboard for the group, and the news stream on your dashboard will be customized to prefer news from the people in this group.

@treeswallow, you're welcome :)

Thank you!

Hi treeswallow. You posted a question about something typed incorrectly. For that you'd need to contact Luke, the website owner. https://learnscripture.net/contact/

Hi, nobody answered my question I posted almost a month ago...

I believe that everyone has the same news feed, comments show up for everyone. There is an exception. Some groups have been “squelched” by moderators and those groups will not show up in the news feed unless you are in that group.

Each person has there own news feed. It will favour giving you news on anyone that you follow and also anyone that is in any of the same groups as yourself. So if you are only in one group with 9 people in, those 9 peoples achievements or comments they make will show in your news feed more than news or comments by people who are not in that group. So if a 10th person joined that group then his achievements and activity would start to show in your own feed and that of the other 9 more than that of those people not in the group. That would include comments he makes on other groups.
Your personal news feed is different to the group wall where anyone can post a comment and everyone can see it.
At least that's my understanding. Hope that helps.

Hello. So does the content of a groups newsfeed depend on who's in the group? In other words, nine participants in Group A all get a personal news feed. If the 10th person added is active in other groups, would the activity the 10th person gets, now show on the feed of the other nine? Sorry for the complexity of the question.

Lol
