Why did John make such a big deal about being a faster runner than Peter? A possible answer is the contested authorship of the ending of John which I briefly addressed in my answer to this question hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/q/854/367 There's significant discussion regarding the ending of John and how disjointed it seems (specifically, chapter 20). This has led some to hypothesize that John's gospel has been edited a few times. These could be insertions from the Johannine community revising an original document. |

Is Deuteronomy 22:28 talking about rape? I have a feeling that this will hinge upon the understanding of seizing |

Why is the Septuagint (LXX) significant? This is the best answer that I've read yet. |

Brothers *and sisters* in modern translations Exactly. Context should help us understand which is appropriate and which is not. |

How did Jesus say “Unless the marriage is unlawful”? @PeterTurner So a noted exception, uttered by Jesus himself, would also be considered a parenthetical in your view. |

How did Jesus say “Unless the marriage is unlawful”? @PeterTurner Could you tell me what you mean by "parenthetical?" A noted exception could have been made by Jesus (and that not even under his breath). |

How did Jesus say “Unless the marriage is unlawful”? @MonicaCellio The original text is in Greek. There is a tradition out there that Matthew was written in Hebrew or Aramaic (notably championed by Jehovah's Witnesses). It is based on the presence of semitisms within Matthew's text. It is somewhat unconvincing, and probably has little bearing on the content of this question. |

How did Jesus say “Unless the marriage is unlawful”? also ... punctuation is never inspired as it didn't exist in the original manuscripts. |

How did Jesus say “Unless the marriage is unlawful”? First: Based on the Greek it seems like the parentheses are a bit misleading. I'll still check out variants, but this phrase is most likely well-attested in the manuscripts. That doesn't eliminate the possibility that this could be a Matthean insertion. Second: The importance of the passage is on the relationship as a whole and how it affected the divorcee. Took the focus off of one's "rights" and onto the relational impact of exercising those rights. |

How did Jesus say “Unless the marriage is unlawful”? I'll have to crack open the UBS for this. It could be anything from an original statement by Jesus, to a Matthean redaction, to a later scribal insertion. I don't have it on me, so I'll have to look through the variants later. |

Were the apostles “expert” witnesses? @BobJones I see where you're going, but agree nonetheless that such a conception is anachronistic. What is the apologetic interaction for which you are building? |

Does Luke's supposed profession matter when interpreting his work as an author? Loveday Alexander demonstrated that such linguistic patterns were both common within contemporary works, and consistent with a historical aim. Certainly Luke has a greater density of such terms than other NT authors, but his work is consistent within the genre of history. |

What does the living sacrifice mean in Romans 12:1? Don't get me wrong - your answer accurately addresses the question while responsibly handling the text. I'm just advocating for your conclusion from the text and not from the cognitive parallels |

What does the living sacrifice mean in Romans 12:1? The participle, though, is subordinate to the main verb, παραστῆσαι. I'd contend that the focus is not as much on drawing a contrast between the old sacrificial system, but on the constant, iterative process as defined by a way of life in the second part of Rogers' definition. |

Is Ecclesiastes a book of negative wisdom? Having established that we're on the same page, I must say that I really appreciate your answer. Though we can debate authorship until we're blue in the face, I believe that you have touched on a primary concern of Ecclesiates. |

What are the possible interpretations of 1 John 2:19? Thorough answer, but in the end you land in an eternal security position when OP asked for conditional security. |
