comment Contextually, which English translation/ Greek text seems more probable in Rev. 5:10?
It seems like doing this with a textual variant is doing it in a vacuum. "Which is more probable?" is a very different question than "what are the implications of accepting the weaker variant(s)?" We could go into biblical and systematic theologies of the redemption of all of creation, or the symbolism of things in Revelation, but that's a separate question altogether.

Holy smokes. There it is. I wonder if that's not an IT error ;)

Which version of TR are you using? I'm only finding ὑμᾶς.

But it is based on the context. I guess I'm having trouble understanding what you're after. Are you after the whole "living creatures" being included in the ruling party?

Present vs. Future is not as difficult as the NET translation notes make it seem.

comment Redemption…and yet, another redemption?
Hiya. I was wondering if you could add a bit to this question. What about the word (either morph or lemma) would lead you to believe that there are multiple redemptions? If it's not about the word, what about the usage of this word in Scripture would lead one to believe that there are multiple redemptions? Thanks!

comment Did Jesus endorse tithing for all when addressing the Pharisees?
This has the makings of a good answer. I was hoping you could work in a conversation about the actual texts in question. You make a leap from Torah to Paulos with a statement that, "the general concept behind tithing is support of a ministry." I think that the 1 Cor. 9 references allow you to make that transition, but I'd like to see how that loops back to address the actual question of Jesus' interaction with tithing and wealth.

comment Why did the tabernacle use the colors blue, purple and scarlet?
@DerekScott I fear this is going to spiral out of control and so I'd like to clear the air. First, I would like to also extend Mike's welcome. I appreciate you putting yourself out there to answer a question with imagination and ingenuity. I apologize if anything in my tone has communicated criticism or ridicule. Let me just state that my comments are generally placed in order to help guide you toward an improved answer (regardless of whether or not I agree with it) that is logical and accurately represents an answer to the question.

comment Why did the tabernacle use the colors blue, purple and scarlet?
@DerekScott I'm basing it on my Biology degree. What you've asserted in your answer is not an accurate representation of the article that you cited. Additionally, I think that it's a flimsy analogy given the context.

"Blood in the veins is Purple." This is a myth.
