Why the human brain is never mentioned in the Bible? @BlessedGeek - I don't think your sarcasm is to the point here as I did not at all imply by my question that the Bible should contain all details about everything. My question is only about the word "brain". Given the fact that the mind is mentioned in the Bible quite often it looks a bit strange to me that the brain is not mentioned. |

Why the human brain is never mentioned in the Bible? @swasheck - Mine is the second one, which is, as you said, "if 'thought' was so important, why didn't the ancients address the organ that we now know to be the center of 'thought?'" |

Do we have such expressions as “the holiest” in the New Testament Greek? "You form a superlatives by taking the adjective ἅγιος (holy) and adding ατοτος. I have not yet found any occurrences of this word in the Greek New Testament" - What about prepending πᾶς ('all') to an adjective? I mean such cases like παντοκράτωρ ('almighty') or παναγιότης ('all-holiness'). Do we have anything like that in the New Testament? |

Was Greek Mark's second language? "Similarly, Peter and John were likely not trained in Greek (see Acts 4:13)" - Why do you quote Acts 4:13 here? Given the Jews' hatred toward anything Greek shown in Acts 21:28, it seems to me that the high priests' thoughts of being learned and educated in Acts 4:13 was exclusively about the knowledge of the Law, which would, of course, involve the knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic, but quite unlikely Greek. I mean, how do you know that Acts 4:13 implies teaching of Greek? |

1 Corinthians 13:12: “For now we see through a glass, darkly” Thank you mike, but can you please explain what thin-fat-big-lipped mirrors are? If you can give a link to an image of such a mirror that will be great. |

“Jesus said to them ”I am" (John 18:6) - Did Jesus break a taboo here? "OK, I used ISA to locate עבודה as H5656. Is that a Strong's number?" - Yes, it is. The problem is that in the Bible this word is never used for prayer or devotion and doesn't even have a slightest connotation of that: blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/… Besides, OT uses other words for prayer, such as תְּפִלָּה , פָּלַל and לַחַשׁ and those don't have a connotation of work. What is ISA? |

“Jesus said to them ”I am" (John 18:6) - Did Jesus break a taboo here? "Not realising that the word for prayer and devotion is the same word as Work - avodah" - What's the Strong's number for "avodah"? |
