Jun 27	comment	The number two in the book of Zechariah I'm also inclined to think that this may require a complex answer; the theme of two might be explained in a general way, and then each of the specific instances of two might each have different meanings.
Jun 26	comment	The number two in the book of Zechariah Good catch--I meant to include the the width versus length one but forgot. +1 for good and helpful discussion. However, I would be surprised if 2 can be a number for completeness, given that in various contexts 3, 4 and 7 already serve that purpose. Though I do see how "On the one hand... on the other..." could have to do with completeness.
Jun 25	comment	Was the angel of the Lord the pre-human appearance of Messiah? There are several other passages where "angel of Yahweh" and "Yahweh" seem to be used interchangeably. I hope to deepen my understanding and post and answer at some point but can't say when. +1
Jun 24	comment	How to interpret Genesis 25:1-2? Sir, I'm afraid your answer doesn't really solve the difficultly raised by the question.
Jun 23	comment	Why is the man going to measure Jerusalem in Zechariah 2:2? I highly appreciate the Messianic nature of your answers. +1
Jun 22	comment	Does the seventh seal do anything? Having worked to digest the idea of silence in the passages I discussed in this post, I wonder, given the fact that Revelation is something of a patchwork quilt of Old Testament passages, whether this episode in Revelation has a connection to those prophecies.
Jun 20	comment	What does Paul mean by allegory in Galatians 4:24? Can you support that Paul actually uses this hermeneutic in his writings? He had a rather radical break with Judaism when he was knocked off his horse by the Lord.
Jun 17	comment	What does the prohibition against women speaking in church in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 mean? I was talking more about your confusion of omicrons with omegas and epsilons with etas and other odd mistakes than the diacritics. I understand about the diacritics.
Jun 16	comment	What does the prohibition against women speaking in church in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 mean? Your egregious Greek spelling errors do not lead me to trust your analysis of the Greek. (I have fixed them.) Nevertheless, this answer has much valuable insight. +1
Jun 13	comment	Using literal hermeneutics how does one determine if a demand is made on the reader? @JonEricson I have heard the dispensationalist hermeneutic called "the literal hermeneutic". Of course it radically fails at its name.
Jun 12	comment	How does Jesus' argument from David and the show bread work? Can you edit for punctuation etc.? Also, you do not seem to be doing close exegesis on the passage, and your answer does not seem to add much to the existing answers.
Jun 12	comment	Is the usual translation of “ηὐχόμην” as “I could wish” justified in Romans 9:3? +1. One Greek grammatical correction: there is no middle/passive voice. The "middle/passive" refers to a set of endings that can be used either by the middle or passive voice. Paul is here using the middle.
Jun 8	comment	Signficance of name change from Saul to Paul +1 Fascinating parallels.
Jun 8	comment	Is the usual translation of “ηὐχόμην” as “I could wish” justified in Romans 9:3? +1 good analysis of the Greek. Your references to other parts of the Bible are also helpful, tho I would hardly say Adam's action was "true intercession". FYI deponent is an imposition of Latin grammar on Greek and doesn't do a great job of describing the particular phenomenon in Greek; "passive deponent" is really "middle" (edited accordingly).
Jun 8	comment	What is the “hidden manna” and the “white stone”? +1, but your answer is rather prolix. Could you cut out those parts that are less directly related to the question?
Jun 8	comment	Sacrificing and kissing calves in Hosea 13:2 It is possible to use a regular Kindle to check this site!
Jun 6	comment	“Sealed” (ἐσφραγίσθητε) in Eph. 1:13 +1. However, the aspect of aorist is not perfect but either punctiliar, or what is more commonly thought now, undefined.
Jun 4	comment	Is the death of the pious precious in the eyes of God? +1 Excellent answer. I am impressed by the amount of background knowledge. Thanks for how much you contribute to the site!
Jun 1	comment	How does Jesus' argument from David and the show bread work? "In essence Jesus seems to be saying obedience to God is not the same as obedience to God's law." Reminds me of Johannes de Silentio's question in Fear and Trembling: "Is there a teliological suspension of the ethical?" He argues your statement exactly. As it is stated, however, I don't agree.
Jun 1	comment	What does “made him to be sin” mean? Welcome to BH.SE! This verse is classically considered difficult to exposit. If you ask about the exegesis or meaning of this phrase, this could be a really good question. As it stands, it is not a great question for this site because one link will gave you the translation of many versions (though none of them may help you understand it). Also, I recommend quoting less of the passage in the question body.
