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 Ecclesiastes a book of negative wisdom? The summary argument is powerful. If it is a book of negative wisdom, that is an incongruent statement tacked on the end as if to recover from a book that was a little too gloomy... and how does that jive with inerrancy? Not very well. |

How can the sacrifice of one animal atone for many? Thanks for this answer. Not only is it educational to me, it gives me a better idea of how to edit my answer. |

How can the sacrifice of one animal atone for many? @Monica I'll give it some thought. |

How can the sacrifice of one animal atone for many? @Qoheleth-Tech The question of the relation of theology and exegesis is one of the central tensions of this site (since it centers more or less around one text, but has includes people with many diverse theologies). |

How can the sacrifice of one animal atone for many? @Joseph Yes, Hebrews is the book to bring to bear here (and I bet that it is actually the source of the question as well). See my answer (my first answer on this site in months), which though it does not cite Hebrews, is essentially an exposition of its theology. |

What does UNDER THE SUN relate to in Ecclesiastes? Ope, too late for me to flag it correctly—but if this question were cleaned up it would still be an duplicate of this one anyway. |

What does UNDER THE SUN relate to in Ecclesiastes? More like "God sees it" than what? This question reads a little like a rant, which is okay for a forum but not for Q&A site like this. If you are asking a genuine question, you need to reduce the amount of argument in your question—or add counterargument. Then, you are allowed to post an answer to your own question. Though I would caution you that answers which do not cite specific parts of the text and show contextually why you think they mean what they do are unlikely to be favored on an exegetical site. |

Does Paul refer to his past or present evil/sin in Romans 7 You seem to be equivocating on "flesh". What exactly do you mean by it? |

The significance of the designations of families who will mourn in Zechariah 12 Hm. If this interpretation is correct, then why does it mention David? It sounds like you are saying the other line of David will be snuffed out. And you haven't even touched on the question regarding Shimei. |

What does Jesus mean by generation when talking about the end times? As is, this is more of a comment than an answer. Care to flesh it out with the details of what such a search would show? |

Why did the witnesses lay their coats at Paul's feet? This reasoning seems stretched to me. |

What does 'Dominon' mean in Genesis? This question looks a bit like it is trying to pick a fight. Do you have any example of anyone who claims that it means "plunder and make use of"? If not, what makes you think it might mean that? The question appears rhetorical to me, and as such stands in danger of being closed as "not a real question" or "not constructive". |

“the first day of the week” in 1 Corinthians 16:2 Are you trained in Greek or linguistics? I find your analysis linguistically unconvincing. Also, I would suggest that you smooth some of the wording to turn your paper on introductory comments into one seamless post (i.e. remove "in this paper" etc.). |

How did the shadow move back ten steps in 2 Kings 20:8-11? Wow, those are some fascinating claims! Do you have references? |

Ecclesiastes 4:12 A cord of three strands is not quickly broken +1, especially for the technical details as to the construction of rope. |

How are we to take the fact that Lot offered his daughters for rape? A wicked man offers his daughters to be raped. But the Bible speaks of many wicked people who do horrific things. So I'm not sure the point of the question. (The question could be strengthened by bringing a NT citation that calls him righteous. At that point you could tag it with contradiction.) |

How often does the Bible use “God of Jacob” versus “God of Israel”? Is the question in the title the same one as in the body? |

What is the significance of the floating ax head in 2 Kings 6:1-7? What book? Could you expound on how the author drew that point from this passage? I am guessing the reason why your answer was downvoted (I didn't do it) was because your answer was not exegetical. |

What does “because of the angels” refer to in 1 Cor 11:10? Somehow I do not find that exegetically convincing. |
