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.

What language did Jesus commonly speak? -1. Denies the existence of Mishnaic Hebrew as a spoken language of the common, which has been proven repeatedly by literature and archeology. See this answer |

Why is God called the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? I would love to take a crack at the second question (the one regarding the Septuagint and pre-Masoretic text). If you would split that one off to a second question, I would work on it. Be sure to give the verse reference for the Septuagint reference. |

Is Jesus equal to or less than the Father The doctrine of the trinity emphasizes both the number of persons in the Godhead and that they are one. "One God in three persons." |

What does λεστες mean in Mark 11:17? There's a lot here that doesn't address the questions: 'Were these common thieves stealing from the marketplace or peoples' homes? Or is "outlaws" a better rendering? What kind of criminal does this refer to (specifically I'm interested in 11:17)?' |

How should James 2:18 be translated? Could you add the verses to your final quote of James that follow the pattern of insult and response that you mention? I would, but I'm not sure if you want just verse 20 or beyond it. Thank you! |

Does the qal in Amos 3:6 automatically imply causation? @MikeBull, I agree that word and grammar studies can't be the end, but the answer must address the question. If you addressed the grammar of what a qal verb can mean and does mean in this verse THEN zoomed out to show how that works with the rest of the Bible it would work. But the user asked about the qal and now knows something more about it. caseyr547 will now apply when reading other places. |

Why does the Peshitta use the word ‘baptism’ for ‘enlightened’ in Hebrews 6:4? They very well could take them as synonyms. Chrysostom was from Antioch and served as archbishop of Constantinople. Definitely a man of the East. |

“Back in ships to Egypt” in Deut. 28 @BobJones, that would be a great answer from a text-critical point of view! Could you write it up with an example of which Hebrew word for "sorrow" you intend here? |
