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.

Mar 5	comment	Why did the witnesses lay their coats at Paul's feet? Wish I could upvote this twice. I found some really interesting things going on as I researched the passage!
Mar 3	answered	What does Exodus 26:27 say?
Mar 2	comment	How did the gospels get their names? @cwallenpoole, Sure. I think these two Hebrew copies of Matthew were copies of the lost Hebrew original.
Mar 2	comment	How did the gospels get their names? There are 2 copies of Matthew in Hebrew (Aramaic is different and this is definitely Mishnaic Hebrew). I saw a copy of one of them. Both mss. are medieval but they raise the question of why would it be translated from Greek into Hebrew? There isn't a good answer for that one. However, going from Hebrew into Greek makes perfect sense as the church spread.
Mar 2	comment	How do the books in the Bible get their names? The Pentateuch Hebrew names are actually just the first words in the book. Genesis=>In Beginning, Exodus=>The Names, Leviticus=>And He Called, Numbers=>In the Wilderness, Deuteronomy=>The Words. Please allow for variations in translation to English.

Mar 1	comment	Is Keller's view of the father in the Prodigal Son parable a reasonable interpretation? I don't see the father as reckless and I don't see the elder son as righteous, so no. I have edited to explain that more.

Feb 27	comment	Was Moses the probable author of Genesis? @Dan, the only part you mentioned was the part which described his death, i.e. the last chapter. And you didn't answer the question. Some very good arguments for a unified Pt can be found in Walter Kaiser's The Old Testament Documents: Are They Reliable and Relevant.
