Nov 14	comment	How should we understand the “Cleansing of the Temple”? @MonicaCellio - Since as a Christian I believe that Jesus is the Messiah promised by God in the Tanakh -- a physical incarnation of God Himself-- I can only guess that He knew the intentions of the sellers at the temple. Since He called them a "den of robbers" in Mark 11:17, I'd only be able to take His word for it. As far as I know, there weren't any other details about the actions of those particular people in the NT.
Nov 14	comment	How do Jewish scholars differ from Christian scholars in their approach to the Tanakh? I don't get the impression that Bob wants to offend. On the contrary-- from my limited understanding-- Bob's method attempts to impart more of a Judaic perspective to the NT-- which I personally feel there should be much more of. The narratives of Jesus are meant as a fulfillment of Jewish prophecy (i.e. "To the Jew first" Romans 1:16), and salvation of the Gentiles is almost a side-note. As Christians we need a Jewish perspective (I definitely appreciate reading @Monica Cellio's input on this site!); however by definition there are going to be some sticking points on theology.

Nov 12	comment	Why is “rega`” translated “peace” in Job 21:13? No clue-- I can't read Hebrew, though I'd love to learn-- but KJV seems to translate it your way (bible.us/Job21.13.KJV)
