I get a lengthy XML document for
http://www.webservicex.net/BibleWebservice.asmx/GetBibleWordsbyKeyWord?BibleWords=Moses
where however the real XML data is escaped.

As for a SOAP request, no, SOAP is not possible with a GET request and a 
query string in the URL, to make a SOAP request you need to make a HTTP 
POST request with a proper SOAP message in the request body and the 
request header
SOAPAction: "http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetBibleWordsbyKeyWord"

All that is documented nicely on
http://www.webservicex.net/BibleWebservice.asmx?op=GetBibleWordsbyKeyWord


Note that platforms like the .NET framework allow you to generate proxy 
code for web services so that you don't have to deal with SOAP or HTTP, 
you simply use classes, instantiate objects and call methods.
