Understanding “Likewise” in Romans 8:26 I've read and reread your answer a few times. But I'm still not clear what you mean. Are you saying that, given our groaning in anticipation of adoption and/or the creation groaning in childbirth, this is "in the same way as" the intercessory groaning of the Spirit on our behalf? |

Does the Greek verb ὑπακούω generally imply faith? I've read that a few times and I can't grasp what you are asking. |

Meaning of N .. N+1 pattern in Amos, Proverbs, Job and Psalms I was wondering if a similar question had been asked before, but SE didn't suggest that question as I was entering this one. I think the questions are sufficiently different, but I will defer to more experienced BH members... |

Why did Elisha rebuke Gehazi for things he did not accept from Naaman? In v5, we read that Naaman only took with him money (gold and silver) and clothes, so I don't see how Elisha could have refused the other gifts if Naaman didn't even bring them (and how could he bring an olive orchard with him?) |

How would Elisha plowing with 12 oxen have been understood at the time of writing? "through a modernist lens"? Quite the opposite! It's because I'm aware of my modern lens that I'm trying to understand what the people of the time thought, not what I might think reading it now. The non-allegorical note in my question was designed to avoid the sort of pontification present in this answer. |

How would Elisha plowing with 12 oxen have been understood at the time of writing? @Soldarnal I mean how the people of the time would have understood it. Would they have just thought "he's from a rich family", or are there other connotations. Perhaps plowing with 12 yoke of oxen was today's equivalent of extreme tractor racing or something? |

Is “breath of life” in Genesis 2:7 is the same as spirit? Speaking for myself, I would like your answer to contain biblical sources, not necessarily references to what other theologians have said. For example, when you say "Adam is the house and Eve is the fragrant smoke." I can't figure out why you think this should be so. If you don't provide some biblical reasons why you came to this conclusion, it seems like you just plucked it out of the air. This is just one example; you seem to have many unusual and unsupported assertions. |

How sure can we be that Archippus was a church leader? Thanks Frank. I wasn't sure if there was some specialised extension to markdown for verse references, maybe so it points somewhere sensible. And I wasn't sure which version to use if I included the verses. I tend to use ESV. Never used NASB before (I'm not American :-) - also, I fulfil things, not fulfill things - but that's just getting pedantic). |
