comment What does 'Dominon' mean in Genesis?
not to pick nits here, but splitting infinitives is a style principle. hermeneutics is also more than just proof-texting the greatest hits of one's preferred tradition. i won't say "opinion," but your answer reads like a partial biblical theology of the concept of "dominion." hermeneutics supplies the substance upon which these theologies, doctrines, and even "opinions" are founded. i see no application of hermeneutics in your answer. i won't downvote you, but i will implore you to post a bit more research - and yes, that may mean parsing verbs

comment Do the “original texts” use fractional numbers?
Hi Dan. That's an interesting question. As for cussing, I appreciate your conservative estimation of boundaries. I'd not personally be offended, but good on you for considering it.

comment Why does Matthew double people?
I would like to see further justification of the audience of the authors as well as why duplicates would be "more specific"

comment Who were the “poor among the saints” in Jerusalem?
Good answer, Mike. I'm going to edit it a bit but you're right - there's nothing in the text that would indicate any sort of difficulty.

comment Ecclesiastes 4:12 A cord of three strands is not quickly broken
@J.C.Salomon while i understand the significance of midrash, i would also like to point out that this feels like as much of a leap as the reference to the trinity. references to abraham, or deity seem to be a few levels of abstraction away from the actual emphasis of the text itself - "don't labor yourself out of meaningful relationships."

comment Comma? “Verily I say unto thee today, …” or “Verily I say unto thee, today…”
This is no small debate and the ultimate decision seems to be dependent on theological inclinations.

comment Misleading “but” in Matthew 5:22 KJV?
@JonEricson more likely to say that the author was not intentionally setting up an opposition and defaulted to the more prevalent, and less significant δέ

comment Misleading “but” in Matthew 5:22 KJV?
Yes. It's the "large" adversative. We always called it "the big but."
