May 11	comment	In the Peshitta, what is the difference between the original word translated “Sabbath” and that translated “week?” Thank you for the reference. I was not aware of Victor's project. That is helpful. I wonder, now that you know the correct verse if you would be willing to edit your answer to directly address the question about the word used for Sabbath/week.
Apr 29	comment	Where does the Tanakh differ from the Christian Old Testament? Konway, Thank you for this answer. I appreciate the opening lines in which you acknowledge the diversity of possible answers that would spring from various texts. You humbly acknowledge other Christian texts and tell why you choose to share from your perspective. You then proceed to answer out of your faith based on your text. It is a very thorough answer giving just enough background to inform any readers not familiar with your text. @Caleb, though he is of an entirely different persuasion, did an outstanding job editing the answer.
Apr 4	comment	Did Jephthah actually sacrifice his daughter? Welcome to Biblical Hermeneutics Stack Exchange. It sounds like you have a good knowledge of Scripture; your insights will be welcome I'm sure. I noticed you said, "I've read in many places that . . . " I encourage you, instead of working from memory, to find at least one one of those sources and interact with specific points of their stance. It will strengthen your answer and add to your credibility on the forum.
Apr 3	comment	Did Jephthah actually sacrifice his daughter? Bullinger points out (see above PDF) that the verse can read, "“If you deliver the Ammonites into my hands, then whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me on my safe return from the Ammonites shall be the Lord’s OR shall be offered by me as a burnt offering." He says, "This is done by observing the well known rule that the connective particle [vav] is often used as a disjunctive, and mean “or”, when there is a second proposition." He points out the instruction in Lev. 27 for how to redeem a person (v1-8), animal (v9-13), or house (v14-15), if a man has consecrated them in a vow.
Mar 31	comment	Did Jephthah actually sacrifice his daughter? Jon, Today I was reading an article in Wikipedia about E. W. Bullinger, an Anglican theologian from the late 18oo's. I noticed a link to a chapter from his commentary on Hebrews, "Did Jephtha Really Sacrifice His Daughter: an Analysis of Judges 11:31." I remembered your question and through you might be interested. [PDF]
Mar 31	comment	Matthew 27:62: “the day that followed the day of the preparation” - Why not call Sabbath a Sabbath? My family and I were reading in John chapter 19 tonight and I noticed in verse 14 that the day of preparation was mentioned, only it was called "the day of preparation of the Passover." I didn't know if that would be any help to you and I wasn't sure you would receive the info through my edit, so I thought I'd drop you a comment on it.
Mar 21	comment	Does Deuteronomy 12:21 reference a missing commandment? I don't know if I sent these messages correctly the first time: What appear to be links in your first paragraph/quote are not coming through. – Sarah yesterday Also, I read your post after spending the day working on this issue. I dont know if you noticed the parallels to this passage in chapter 14 and 16 of Deuteronomy. I'm curious how you would interpret this passage in that light.
Mar 21	comment	Would the Pharisees go to Pilate and secure the tomb on the Sabbath? Thank you Monica.
Mar 20	comment	Would the Pharisees go to Pilate and secure the tomb on the Sabbath? @MonicaCellio Both would be helpful!
Mar 20	comment	Would the Pharisees go to Pilate and secure the tomb on the Sabbath? @monica, perhaps you would have some insight on this.
Mar 19	comment	What is the baptism of fire? You might consider focusing your next to last paragraph by providing the actual passage or reference from Romans.
Mar 19	comment	What is the baptism of fire? Is there a parallel between the baptism of the holy spirit and the wheat, contrasted with the baptism of fire and the chaff? Is it significant that the baptism of repentance or no precedes the baptism of Holy Spirit or fire?
Mar 19	comment	What is the baptism of fire? Dell, this perspective was new to me. But context really backs your understanding. So, I added the passage to strengthen your answer. I only highlighted the portions you highlighted in your answer. But, I think you can do a lot more with this by drawing out the tone of John's address here.
Mar 19	comment	Upon whom do we call? Reconciling OT & NT Joseph, this is an outstanding answer. Thank you so much. I was so stuck on the name I don't know I would have given thought to the context of the "cornerstone" in the verse! Then, after reading your answer, and pondering some more, I realized that the verse grammatically allows for what you point out, as it says, "the name OF Yhwh," (as opposed to "the NAME Yhwh"). This leaves room for the name of YHWH to be another name (NOT in EXCLUSION of His name still being YHWH, for He says that is his name forever, but rather, IN ADDITION TO his name being YHWH). Thanks again!!
Mar 15	comment	What does a mustard seed grow into! Thank you Dan. Very cordial of you.
Mar 15	comment	Why wouldn't the Son of Man know the day and hour of his coming? Michael, Welcome. I attempted an edit of your question in effort to re-open it. I did so based on the direction it seemed you were coming from and on how it seems those who answered you understood the question. Don't feel stuck with it though. I'd love to hear from you what you are seeking to find out so you can get your question answered.
Mar 15	comment	What does a mustard seed grow into! So, the fact is that it is ambiguous? We don't really know what plant is spoken of here, thus we take it as one that was common and the readers would have recognized the contrast between the size of the seed and the resulting plant. Correct?
Mar 14	comment	What does a mustard seed grow into! I thought the picture upon which the analogy is based is soundly rooted in reality, whereas, the truths that are conveyed through them are where we must not expect every detail to carry over. Thus I would expect the details of the picture itself to be correct, the small seed grows to a large plant under whose branches bird nest.
Mar 14	comment	How do Aramaic primacists respond to Greek primacy arguments? Thank you @Soldarnal. I agree, it was not accomplishing its purpose effectively. Thank you for understanding and acknowledging my intent. I would be fine for it to be removed rather than closed if there is any difference.
Mar 13	comment	What arguments exist that would refute the theory concerning Aramaic primacy of the New Testament? let us continue this discussion in chat
