I am a web programmer by day (PHP) and work on sermons and teaching material in the evenings.

I attended Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri, for a Master of Arts in Theological Studies and a Master of Divinity. I am an associate pastor at a small church in Iowa. While in seminary, my emphasis was on Old Testament studies, but Dr. Wave Nunnally introduced me to the rabbinics. Those have become a special interest as well.

I also enjoy apologetics and was a very active member of the apologetics.org forum before it went defunct.

Apr 9	comment	Why does God say he only revealed his name, Yahweh, to Moses? @RonMaimon, shem with the connotation of reputation is well supported throughout the Old Testament (I listed several). Are you saying this is not the case? Also, are you saying that the beth essentiae is nowhere found in the Old Testament?

Apr 6	comment	Why did David and Jonathan need the arrow signal? This question has gone through my mind before also.
Apr 6	revised	What Scriptures is Paul referring to in 1 Cor 15:4 improved formatting

Apr 5	comment	What language did Jesus commonly speak? @JonEricson, one of the best books I've read on the Hebrew as a living language theory is Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus by Biven and Blizzard. It's small, but goes into a lot of detail.
Apr 5	comment	What Scriptures is Paul referring to in 1 Cor 15:4 Thanks for adding more! And now I have a tough decision to make... Who gets the "accept." Course, it's still open so others could take a shot at the question.
Apr 5	comment	What is the difference between “righteous” and “just” in the NT? Hebrew does similar. Most words descend from a verbal root.

Apr 4	comment	How can the Pastoral Epistles not be Pauline? @Mallioch, one of my professors at AGTS did something like that for his doctoral thesis. It was huge.
Apr 4	comment	What Scriptures is Paul referring to in 1 Cor 15:4 I have edited to show my reasoning of how Paul uses graphe to refer to the Old Testament and how rabbinic interpretation showed a suffering and dying Messiah. Whether you agree with rabbinics or not, they did understand the Scripture to show a suffering Messiah.
Apr 4	revised	What Scriptures is Paul referring to in 1 Cor 15:4 Added Scripture references of Paul quoting the Old Testament
Apr 3	revised	What Scriptures is Paul referring to in 1 Cor 15:4 Better title
Apr 3	comment	Psalms, Hymns, Songs: What are the meanings of these words Biblically? Thank you for pointing out that the implausible and anachronistic interpretation is just that.
Apr 3	comment	How consistent were Augustine's hermeneutics? Augustine was exactly as consistent as he wanted to be. No more. No less. :-)
Apr 3	comment	How should the story of David's concubines be read? What would have been their status if David has released them? As divorced concubines of the king, would they have been able to find other husbands? Would the rape make them less likely to be able to remarry? If either is so, it makes this a merciful outcome.
Apr 3	comment	What Scriptures is Paul referring to in 1 Cor 15:4 I never considered that Paul was referring to "raised" being the part from Scripture. Thank you. I agree that the John quote from the Psalm is not taken out of context.
