Should The Creation Story in Genesis Be Understood as Metaphorical? @JonEricson Good suggestion. I'll try to think of ways to fix the question to reduce the possibility of a flame war. |

Should The Creation Story in Genesis Be Understood as Metaphorical? I was looking for something along the lines of some historical evidence either way. Since this seems to merely be a potential point of heated arguments, I'm deleting the question. |

Should Matthew 27:6-7 Be Taken as a Demonstration of Hypocrisy? Thanks Mike--I think you did answer my question; I just needed to ponder your answer a bit further is all. |

Is Luke's “Theophilus” An Actual Person or an Allegorical Person Good to know, at least, that it's not a dumb question. :-) |

Should Matthew 27:6-7 Be Taken as a Demonstration of Hypocrisy? I understand we perceive this as hypocritical--what I'm wondering about is Matthew's intention in including it in his Gospel account. Was he trying to paint the chief priests as being hypocrites? |

What is the significance of 153 fish? Does the 153 have any significance in light of gnostic beliefs? |

Is Luke's “Theophilus” An Actual Person or an Allegorical Person Thank you for that excellent and thorough response. I had always wondered about "most excellent". I assumed it had some special meaning and wasn't just flattery. |

Does Paul command the Corinthians to remain unmarried? I won't post this as an answer but it is wise in evaluating texts of this sort to bear context in mind. It's likely that Paul like other early Christians held the belief that the second coming was going to occur any time. Any earthly attachments, including marriage, would be tying someone to this Earthly life. I can't take credit for this observation but I also cannot recall where I read it--hence I add this as a comment. |

Was there an eclipse just before Jesus died? Or perhaps as they so often did, the evangelists weren't really bound by "history" in the sense that we understand it but were speaking metaphorically of the passing of the light from this world. |

How Is the Date of Composition of the Gospels Estimated? Well I had some notions about how dating may have been arrived at (e. g. other documents which could be dated mentioning the gospels) but I was wondering what other sorts of techniques may be employed. |

Baptismal Formula Thank you @David Archer; I must be recalling things incorrectly. It was something about tradition vs. scripture. |
