Τὸν τέλος μου γινώσκων τὸν Θεόν ἐστίν. —Καζάρξ
Cor meum tibi offero, Domine, prompte et sincere. —Jean Cauvin
For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty! —Zechariah 9:17 (ESV)
The birthdate I entered is farcical, as I prefer not to identify myself in any way publicly online, but the age is in the ballpark.

Is there a modern English translation of the Bible that uses the second-person plural pronoun? My father, who is a linguist, claims that the theologians overwork the importance of the number of the second person pronoun. The community/individual dialectic is certainly a critical one in Scripture, but it is easy to go to far in studying it in the details of the pronouns. |

What is the significance of “east” in the Scriptures? Peter J. Leithart has an instructive discussion of this in his book A House for My Name. |

Is Revelation 3:14 saying that Christ was created by God? I appreciate the interpretation in light of the wider body of John's writings. +1 |

How should the story of David's concubines be read? I'm arguing that as it was a case law, an example situation, it should be applied here, even though it was not a divorce case, particularly since this was a form of incest. |

Meaning of στοιχεῖον (stoicheion) I am marking this as the accepted answer, but I am hoping that there will be further discussion. I will upvote any answers that add detail or advance a different viewpoint unless they are extremely low quality. |

What does it mean for someone to be another person's “portion”? +1. The promise of the covenant was that the people of Israel would inherent God himself (Canaan being only a shadow)—e.g. Exodus 6:7. See also John 17:3, Jesus' definition of eternal life (knowing Christ and the Father). |

Did Pharoah have free will? +1. Note that int the list of verses referenced, some of them say Pharaoh hardened his own heart! This points to the mutual truth of God's control and Pharaoh's ontologically free but ethically enslaved will. |

Meaning of στοιχεῖον (stoicheion) Okay, that is a good point. I think that is usually taken to far by theologians (denotation sometimes becomes lost in connotation in some explanations), but your comment is a good one. |
