I am a scripting language connoisseur, regular expression aficionado, network geek, general lover of Linux and a frequent contributor to open source software. I transitioned to programming from other work because I was too busy automating my own work environment to actually do the other work. I have a hobby interest in cartography. For more see my personal site. Most importantly, my life is defined by the grace of God given to men through Jesus Christ. It is my ambition that everything I do would reflect His glory and point people towards Him.

Jim please comment on where you way to go with this or edit it into something, then we can reopen as an answerable question here or elsewhere.

comment What is the actual word used in “Thou shall not kill?”
"What are the exact words?" And "What should we understand them to mean today?" Are two different questions. Which would you like to ask? Your current question is an awkward cross-breed that we can't exactly answer here, but if you pick a direction we can edit or get you to the right place.

comment Are the 'ten virgins' told in Jesus' parable multiple brides or just general wedding party?
@Richard: True, but they are all about a couple of words in one verse and about the context of how they should be understood, so I think it's fair to have them all in one question.

comment How does the Noah's Ark narrative relate to the Gilgamesh flood account?
I've suggested an edit to bring this down to just one comparison for now. Perhaps there is something specific you can also ask about the natures of the texts or the way the language/narrative is related that would make this even more of a hermeneutical problem?

comment What is an anagogical interpretation and when should it be considered?
@GalacticCowboy You'll find some stuff in Catholic material since they still use the term, but it seems to be mostly a much (or deservedly?) neglected last bullet point on the four-fold sense understanding.
