comment How should we understand the “Cleansing of the Temple”?
@JonEricson Matthew's account is similar to Mark's and Luke's, but the literary structure doesn't make it quite as obvious and so it would take longer to explain. If you'd like I can add that in as well for completeness; I just thought it would stretch the length of the answer without adding much value.

comment Why did Paul collect and deliver an offering for the Jerusalem church?
@H3br3wHamm3r81 But also see 2 Cor. 8:1-2

comment Why does Mark provide two feeding accounts?
Hey Matthew, thanks for the answer and welcome to Biblical Hermeneutics! Hope you'll stay around and continue to provide answers like this one.

comment Are the twenty-four elders of Revelation 4-5 angels or humans?
@MonicaCellio Hopefully we'll find out: hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/4729/…

comment Did 70 or 75 Hebrews go down to Egypt with Jacob?
@MonicaCellio Earlier in Genesis 46:27, the LXX has "nine children" instead of "two sons". There are also a number of name differences in the lists of persons. The LXX doesn't seem to reconcile Deut. 10:22, though.

comment What is the referent of “body of Christ” in 1 Corinthians 11:29?
Thanks, Mike, for providing a more comprehensive answer here. Incidentally, I do hold the last view.

comment Does John distinguish between terms for love?
I will try to make these references interlinear later.

comment What is the referent of “body of Christ” in 1 Corinthians 11:29?
Thanks, and welcome to Biblical Hermeneutics. It might help clarify if you explained what Paul intends the Corinthians to "discern." Does it mean to come into contact with the spiritual reality?

comment How can the sacrifice of one animal atone for many?
@Qoheleth-Tech I agree that this is a question about theology and have voted to close as off-topic.

comment Why does the YLT render “thunder” as “voices” in Exodus 20:18?
@MonicaCellio Yeah, I just meant thunder vs voice. It's in the title, but I guess the body of the question is less clear.

As an aside, John 12:29, Rev. 1:12 and Rev. 10:3-4 are interesting cross references.

comment What language(s) would the Jewish Christians in the various Macedonian cities have spoken?
When Paul is speaking Aramaic to the crowd in Acts 21, he is clearly speaking to the Jews in Jerusalem. Is there any evidence that the Jews in Thessalonica or Corinth would have spoken the same? That's what I'm interested in.

comment What is the difference between exegesis and hermeneutics?
Welcome to Biblical Hermeneutics! Thanks for this answer. I've edited it slightly so that it is formatted better for our site, but I've hopefully left all your content intact.

comment How do Aramaic primacists respond to Greek primacy arguments?
I'm VtC on this question. While I understand why you want to ask it, I think this question can't be nailed down enough because it will always be changing as the arguments change. As such, answers cannot be constructive.

comment How do Aramaic primacists respond to Greek primacy arguments?
@FrankLuke Since this post and your comments were getting quite long, I broke out this question for the both of you (or whoever) to answer.

Do you mean in terms of socioeconomic status?

comment Why does everyone in John misunderstand Jesus?
I think you're on the right track here. I'm trying to put together a compelling argument that this is the case from within John. 3:12 will be helpful.

comment What was Noah thinking when he sent a raven from the ark?
Another interesting answer, but could you perhaps tease out more the narrative's correspondence to the festal calendar?

comment Why did John take Mary, who was married, into his home?
Welcome to Biblical Hermeneutics! This is an interesting interpretation; reminds me of James B. Jordan. Do you know of any commentators who agree with you?

comment What is the purpose of Elijah's travels?
I'm worried now, though, that this question is getting away from me in terms of being a good question...
