And none of them are a .sh file. Enter the bibledesktop-1.6 directory (with the cd command - cd bibledesktop-1.6) and see if you can find a sh file there.

Nope no sh file there- |

As root are you at root's home or still in your user's home downloads? |

By default files are not executable. Go back to the directory (you can do it as user) and then make it executable with:
chmod +x BibleDesktop.sh
And then run it again

Ok, you got over one step (file is executable and you already know how to run it). Now you need to install java. |

Another instance of slackpkg is running. If this is not correct, you can
remove /var/lock/slackpkg.* files and run slackpkg again.

Just for the record, stop trying to use slackpkg and to install local files, with a local path. That will not work. slackpkg installs packages from the Slackware repository.
Also installpkg will install local packages but only Slackware packages. AlienBOB's Java package will be fine but not any random tar you happen to come across. Remember that while Slackware packages are compressed tar archives, not every compressed tar archive is a Slackware package.
Code:
installpkg /home/zebracat/Downloads/openjdk-7u55_b14-x86_64-1alien.txz

Yes, did happen here too. I uninstalled java and installed again
with slackpkg install, and got the same problem.
I always use installpkg and removepkg with no problems,
so installed "installpkg openjre...",
Try using installpkg instead of slackpkg.
After installing java, you can try that
$ JAVACMD=$(type -p java) sh BibleDesktop.sh
because BibleDesktop.sh doesn't find java path.
A little off-topic, bibledesktop-1.6 dir size is 3.7MB.
When I launch Bible Desktop, it says that I have no Bibles
installed and asks to download from internet. Is this right? |

Thanks for the info, I never used slackpkg before to install local packages,
always installpkg and removepkg, just used to update Slackware itself.
But I didn't know that info about slackpkg. |

Wow, fortune seems to understand context. Something I had long suspected.  |

Bingo!
I was reading through this thread and was wondering why this wasn't brought up earlier.
This is also very useful,
