Nov 16	comment	What did Paul mean when he said, “work out your own salvation?” I feel that I should warn you that the best answers you will get around here will only partially answer the question, as it is currently worded (which is wide open). Since this is not a site about doctrine or application of the passage, you won't find answers explaining how we should apply this passage--only answers on potential intentions of Paul and probably the translation of the passage. If you are curious how we should apply this to our lives, you need to ask on Christianity.SE.
Nov 15	comment	Did Jesus have the legal authority to cleanse the temple? I believe that the vote to close this question has received is based on the fact that this is a question regarding historical Jewish and Roman laws, rather than hermeneutics or exegesis of biblical texts. A meta post exists dealing with this subject, but has not really gathered much support that these are off-topic or on-topic.
Nov 15	comment	Translation of “this generation will not pass away” in Matthew 24:34? Here is a related exegetic question about the subject: What does Jesus mean by generation when talking about the end times?
Nov 12	comment	Worms or Anguish in Mark 9:48? (Is “worms” a bad translation?) @IanPugsley What's really questionable about it is that this word is only used once in the Bible. Maybe the translation of this as "anguish" must come from some outside sources.
Nov 10	comment	Worms or Anguish in Mark 9:48? (Is “worms” a bad translation?) It makes me wonder if a thought-for-thought or a paraphrase would translate it that way. But at this point, even that seems a stretch.
Nov 10	comment	Worms or Anguish in Mark 9:48? (Is “worms” a bad translation?) So, "anguish" is not even close to a valid translation?
Nov 10	comment	What is “Regula Fidei”? @Caleb OK, after a day, I've regrouped and finished the answer.
Nov 10	comment	Does 2 Corinthians 9:6 indicate a reaping of earthly wealth? After looking at this with fresh eyes, I agree. It really should be moved to C.SE, pending the community agreement on some sort of doctrinal guideline
Nov 9	comment	What is the head covering referring to in 1 Corinthians 11:4-6? Those articles are excellent. Also, thanks for the work that went into this one.
Nov 9	comment	Can we use “linguistic fingerprints” to identify different authors of the Bible? Welcome to BiblicalHermeneutics.SE!
Nov 9	comment	What is “Regula Fidei”? @Caleb Yeah, I agree. I need to come back and rehash this to include the contrast to the GH approach. (It's a big topic and I was tired of typing.) ;)
Nov 9	comment	What is “Regula Fidei”? Sorry for the partial answer. This doesn't really approach the subject of the GH appraoch to hermeneutics.
Nov 9	comment	What is the meaning behind the parable of Children in the Marketplace in Luke 7:31-35? Excellent question! And welcome to BiblicalHermeneutics.SE!
Nov 9	comment	What does Jesus mean in Matthew 26:64 with “You have said so”? @lonesomeday Well, I guess that explains your viewpoint nicely, then. Thanks for the input.
Nov 9	comment	What does Jesus mean in Matthew 26:64 with “You have said so”? @lonesomeday Two authors, two views of the same event, one man speaking. That tells me that we can look at the four accounts (in the four gospels) and use them to reconcile each other. Unless you think that all four accounts are recording different events or that all four accounts are made up.
Nov 9	comment	What does Jesus mean in Matthew 26:64 with “You have said so”? @lonesomeday No, you're right. You also have to read the text of Matthew itself to understand. "You have said it so" can mean many things, one of which is "What you said is true". We can infer from Mark that this is the correct interpretation. (Sorry, I skipped that logical step.)
Nov 8	comment	What does Jesus mean in Matthew 26:64 with “You have said so”? I don't know if that would be sarcasm, but I think that's the idea.
Nov 8	comment	Is translation a subset of exegesis? So are these three different views on the answer or are they three different aspects of the same answer? (ie what would your TL;DR say?)
Nov 8	comment	Is translation a subset of exegesis? May be related: What is the difference between exegesis and hermeneutics?
Nov 8	comment	Does sensus plenior exist in the New Testament? I would think that if you could apply Sensus Plenior to any part of the Bible, it would apply to the whole equally, and for the same reasons.
