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.

Oct 13	revised	Is “wait” in Isaiah 40:31 active or passive? Make this just a tad more clearly an question for hermeneutics.

Oct 12	comment	“You are gods” in John 10:30-36 @Ray: Good thoughts, thanks for detailing that. Those are some good things to think about for what makes an answer good or not specifically on this site.
Oct 8	revised	Is dispensationalism a theological framework or a hermeneutical approach? added 61 characters in body
Oct 8	comment	What does it mean for Jesus to fulfill the law? That makes too good a question to pass up by just giving you my opinion!

Oct 8	comment	“Until they see the kingdom of God” in Luke 9:27 and parallels This answer does not answer the OP's question is so far as it does not treat any of the possible interpretations or analyze them using hermeneutical principles. While this VIEW may be valid, just answering with stating a view isn't what this site is about.

Oct 8	comment	Historical interpretations of Ezekiel's vision of a temple Good question, but this seems like the subject for a doctorate thesis paper. Any way you could narrow this down so that somebody other than an author of a book on the subject could answer it piece-meal?
Oct 8	comment	What does it mean for Jesus to fulfill the law? Considering that the answers so far basically amount to a list of potential meanings rather than a dealing with the words of the original text or even the context -- do you think maybe this question is too broad or off topic? Isn't the answer to this question more guided by a given theological framework than it is by a given hermeneutical approach?
Oct 8	comment	“You are gods” in John 10:30-36 Beautiful answer. I'd be curious however what you think about what makes answers more suitable for here vs. C.SE. In one section here you "skip the reasoning" that would seem to me to be the point of a hermeneutics site and "jump to what you think is correct" which would seem to be what is happening on C.SE in general. Not saying this is a bad answer here, just curious how you see the big picture.
Oct 8	comment	How does one determine whether an apparent demand in scripture is absolute or relative I think this is a good question, but it needs to be simplified / focused on a specific angle. You've got 15 question marks in there. It's a big topic, but I think you could re-word it to just focus on two clearly different texts and ask what the principles are that determine their different handling. I did something similar here: What are good contextual clues that a passage is meant to be read as hyperbole?
Oct 8	comment	What are good contextual clues that a passage is meant to be read as hyperbole? I actually suggested that while hyperbole was the correct reading, the example in question COULD be taken literally as long as you go all the way with it. Then it because a non-issue again because it isn't the eye that actually causes you to sin it is your will. If you think your body parts are at fault that's a different problem. As for gouging out your will isn't that pretty much what we do with "dying to sin" and having our hearts of stone taken away?
Oct 8	asked	What is Sensus Plenior and how does it impact the field of hermeneutics?
Oct 7	comment	How does the Noah's Ark narrative relate to the Gilgamesh flood account? Like @Ray I think this is borderline. I have VtC'ed because as it stands I don't think this is on-topic or a good question. If this is about the TEXTs of other myths vs the Biblical text, that might be something, but without having named a single other text to be studied I think this leaves the question too open to being about heresay not hermeneutics.
