I am in my senior term at the Seminary of the Wilderness. My first ten years were spent as bi-vocational pastor/evangelist in Utah preaching of Christ how I knew best and trying to improve by learning theology from Reformed, Wesleyan, Pentecostal, Baptist and other sources. The second ten years were spent as a BVP/E and discovering that I didn't know what I thought I knew and reading the Bible without outside influence. At the beginning of the third ten I started seeing Christ in the OT, and tried to figure out how and why. I intend in the fourth ten to figure out how to communicate what I learned last term. After that I might be useful for something.
My bias in approaching the Bible is that I believe that it exists in a form today sufficiently intact to be considered infallible. That apparent contradictions are intentional riddles designed to guide us in focusing on different aspects of Christ. That sensus plenior exists in a form which is discernible in a verifiable, and reproducible manner. And that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

What is “Midrash” and how does it relate to Christian principles of hermeneutics? Jesus was 12 about to become a man and responsibility transferred from mother to father, as was the Jewish custom which is now formally the bar-mitvah. Jewish children were taught theology by ceremonially asking questions, such as the passover. Since Jesus is the rock, and the stone which the builder rejected, following the stones through scripture produces a plethora of prophecies concerning Christ. |

What is “Midrash” and how does it relate to Christian principles of hermeneutics? Jos 4:6 That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones? Jos 4:21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones? |

What is the tree of life in Proverbs 11:30? Jack, I appreciate your questions. I have been an evangelist/pastor in Utah for 30 years. I was recruited to be a Southern Baptist pastor after several years preaching independently. I have also worked with Nazarene, Calvary Chapel, Assembly of God, IFCA, Churches of Christ, and others. It's a small community here. |

What is the tree of life in Proverbs 11:30? I think I have been misunderstood on man defining good and evil. The intent is that he defines it for himself, thus usurping God's position. He is making himself 'like' God. The word yada, besides 'knowing' also has the sense of teaching or declaring. It is from here I get that Adam was declaring good and evil for himself rather than accepting God's standard. He has made himself a god. |
