Jun 7	comment	Why does Matthew include these women in Jesus' genealogy? This was my answer on what is exactly the same question over at Christianity.SE christianity.stackexchange.com/a/13702/1039
Mar 18	comment	God and Passive Hebrew tense and aspect Gee, that's some great advice :)
Mar 18	comment	God and Passive Hebrew tense and aspect I would recommend using either logos or bible works to answer such a question. This is exactly the kind of query they excel at.
Jan 9	comment	What are the differences between Hebrew and Aramaic? @FrankLuke Revised. :)
Jan 7	comment	What language are people translating the Bible from? This is totally dependent on the translation, and is almost always described in the Preface. The best ones go to the original Koine and Masoretic texts - older ones rely on the "Textus Receptus" or later Greek manuscripts.
Dec 6	comment	Are kruvim also angels? The difficulty is that angelos is a Greek word defining the job of a heavenly being (messenger), but has come to mean any heavenly being. Can we say that cherubim are heavenly beings? Yes. Can we say they are messengers? No. But in popular parlance, are angels just messengers or are they any kind of heavenly being? I would argue the popular notion of the word is that second definition - but that second definition doesn't come about until after the Scriptures are written.
Oct 19	comment	Did the apostles travel with their wives? Do I get to say welcome to BH, btw?
Sep 4	comment	Why the human brain is never mentioned in the Bible? Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your mind. Not all organs are mentioned in scripture, and remember, many cultures thought the spirit resided in the gut, not the head.
May 28	comment	When was Jesus's body 'broken' for us? Fair enough, suggestion withdrawn ;) Its rare that I think something would benefit from migration, and the points y'all raise make me agree.
May 27	comment	When was Jesus's body 'broken' for us? I would nominate this for Christianity.SE. BH.SE is for understanding individual words and sensus plenior. You are asking for theology. That said - and I say this as a pastor - good luck finding a forum on a secular site that won't attract people disparaging Paul or Scripture...
May 10	comment	Lifted Hands in 1 Timothy 2:8 Although, the 666 reputation is tempting to keep :)
May 10	comment	Lifted Hands in 1 Timothy 2:8 I remember this discussion from seminary, but I'll see if I can find a sourceable link
May 1	comment	Pros and Cons of Barth's Commentary on Romans Life is short, and Barth is long. (Wish I could take credit for that one...)
Apr 7	comment	What is the 'cock's crow'? As one who has chickens, I suggest that the miracle was that a rooster could be silent long enough for Peter to say three sentences! Those things are loud and unlike what you see in cartoons, they crow all night long.
Apr 4	comment	What does it mean for someone to be another person's “portion”? When this questIon was on C.Se, the point was to read this doctrinally, not idiomatically.
Mar 25	comment	Why did Abel keep flocks if man wasn't supposed to eat flesh til after the Flood? Yeah, the sacrifice thingbis what's botheringbme too :). This helps a lot though.
Mar 16	comment	Does 1st Kings say that pi = 3? If it's good enough for the Indiana legislature it's good enough for me!
Mar 13	comment	Why, in Ezekiel 28, is the King of Tyre conflated with Lucifer? Yeah - I would have definately +1'd that as an answer... Hint, Hint :)
Mar 12	comment	Per 1 Cor 10:8, when did God kill 23,000 for sexual immorality? Thank you! I remembered Phineas and the spear, but hadn't remembered the context at all.
Mar 12	comment	Who was a greater king: Hezekiah or Josiah? My point is that people overuse superlatives all the time. My daughter will tell you that Lincoln and Washington are both our greatest President EVER! (She is, however, smart enough to realize that David Tennant is better than Matt Smith, but I digress).
