Don't run BibleDesktop.sh as root. Run it as your normal user. Also make sure you have logged out of your desktop environment once (and then back in again) after the install of Java. This is to ensure all the environmental variables are setup correctly for your user after you installed Java.

The program Bible Desktop now runs and works. Thank You for staying with me:-- 
This program only works by executing the above cmd and uses the internet connection to do so as well.
I had wondered why it did not install in the Applications Menu under 'Education'.
Is this the case because certain types programs are designed to run that way and that way only? |

The author has written the application in Java, presumably so they could write it once for all platforms. They have not spent time on thinking about Linux "integration".
You could define JAVACMD with the correct location to Java in your .bash_profile (or .profile) and make BibleDesktop.sh executable. That way you could run it directly.
Furthermore, it should be possible to make a .desktop file so that you could add it to the application menu in your desktop environment.
I'll leave someone else to help you with that. Whilst I respect your right to believe whatever you wish to believe and was more than happy to help you get this working as a Linux/Slackware learning exercise, I would not be interested in doing any more that would encourage the usage of this software.

Thanks for the confirmation that a desktop file can be created and added to the application menu. |

You can do it adding a .desktop file like ruario said.
For "zebracat" user, save this as /home/zebracat/.local/share/applications/bd.desktop
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Bible Desktop
Exec=/home/zebracat/Downloads/bibledesktop-1.6/BibleDesktop.sh
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/Reference.xpm
Type=Application
Categories=Education
If more users will use that software, you must move bibledesktop-1.6 directory to /opt
and save that bd.desktop file at /usr/share/applications/
ps- the "Exec=" line must be the same that you type to launch the software.

Thank you Paulo2 but I don't understand where I should copy and paste this:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Bible Desktop
Exec=/home/zebracat/Downloads/bibledesktop-1.6/BibleDesktop.sh
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/Reference.xpm
Type=Application
Categories=Education
and place it in what file? (for the program to launch)
Make a brand new file with either nano or vi?

As soon as the new file was created and saved I closed the terminal and went directly to the Applications Menu and the program is now in my menu; Thank You Paulo2-
Have a good week ahead:- |
