Most people want to stick their head in the sand and ignore problems, in an effort to avoid conflict. I refuse to be that passive person. Problems are there to be fixed, which means that first they have to identified. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

comment Was Goliath killed twice?
The KJV does a better job by inserting the text "the brother of". It's critical in Bible translation/exegesis to always look at the parallel passages in the Bible.

comment Why did John take Mary, who was married, into his home?
@Ryan, because it was a custom, and with his INFINITE wisdom, he decided that John should take care of her.

comment Why did John take Mary, who was married, into his home?
@Ryan, Yes, Jesus always obeyed God's law, but he often showed how he fulfilled it, and to us it seems like he changed it. He did it with the sabbath, and he did it in this case with familial responsibility.

comment Why did John take Mary, who was married, into his home?
@Ryan, No, we know she had other sons (and daughters). If he was referring to cousins, he wouldn't have mentioned both brothers and sisters. Also, Galatians 1:19, "But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother." Jesus delegating the responsibility shows us just how close John was to him.

comment How did the gospels get their names?
This question is too broad, you should ask separate questions on particular authors and books.
