Did Joshua execute innocents? Just out of curiosity, Monica, I notice you don't have a problem writing, "God". May I ask what you think of this (just curiosity)? I was triggered by this answer which uses G-d. |

Did Joshua execute innocents? I'm not sure. It sounds like punishment is per group but grace is per individual, which means it is much easier to get punished than to get grace. I suspect, somehow, that the others were complicit; God has previously stated He would not destroy many thousands for the sake of a few. |

Comparison of English word “fool” in original Hebrew and Greek I thought all the answers were excellent, but this was the easiest for me to understand. :) |

Why did Jesus tell Mary not to hold onto Him? Thanks for this. I don't think it has to do with His resurrection body because Thomas had permission to touch Him. |

Brothers *and sisters* in modern translations I'm guessing it probably is accurate, because in 1 Corinthians this is also used and parts of that letter are specifically addressed to women. |

Why should an altar be made with uncut stone? Although of course an altar shortens the life of that which is sacrificed... |

Was Jesus anointed once or twice on the feet with perfume? @Soldarnal: good point there were plenty of Marys around at the time! |

Was Jesus anointed once or twice on the feet with perfume? Very curious to hear feedback on this answer - is my reasoning sound? |

Does Luke's supposed profession matter when interpreting his work as an author? Two quick points (both from David Pawson): first, another point to bear in mind when reading Luke & Acts is that Luke is the only Gentile author of the Bible. Secondly, Pawson believes that Luke got the "Christmas story" account from Mary; he attributes the details Luke was able to obtain from the bedside manner type of questioning one might expect of a doctor. |

Is NWT's translation of John 8:58 reasonable? @TRiG: look it up and post an answer. You're reminded. :) |

Why pray, “lead us not into temptation”? @JonEricson: indeed, I misread it as nature-of-god. :) But I meant Jesus, as the first passage was a quote from Him. |

Why pray, “lead us not into temptation”? This is probably a perfect answer! |

Why does Matthew double people? @DaveAlger: yes, that is more accurate. I was opting for attention grabbing with a dash of humour. |

What is the “first resurrection”? Well, the Jews also believed the Messiah would only come once. Perhaps this was an incorrect assumption which Revelation seeks to correct? |

What is the “first resurrection”? I don't understand your question. You quote the first resurrection (for believers) and mention the second resurrection in your second paragraph. (The second (permanent) death is mentioned; the first death is (apparently) natural death.) What is missing? |

Was Nazareth a joke town? @JonEricson: can you make that comment into an answer? |

Why did Abraham stop at ten in Genesis 18:32? Thanks for the great answer but I don't understand the Noah reference: just because Sodom was destroyed didn't mean that was everyone in the world. What am I missing here? |

Definition of light in Matthew 5:16 This is the third well considered answer you've given me in the last few days, Jon. Great work! Keep it up and this site may well succeed! Thanks. |

Was the discounting by the manager in Luke 16 a dishonest act? Note that this parable has been discussed on the Christianity SE site. |
