comment Should John 1:19 read “the only begotten God”?
Hi Radz - you somehow ended up with two unregistered accounts here - I've merged them but I'd like to encourage you to register so this sort of thing doesn't happen :)

comment What is “Midrash” and how does it relate to Christian principles of hermeneutics?
@Bob thanks for the link. Unlike the stones I think it is a bit above my head ;-)

comment What did it mean to “rise before the aged” in ancient Hebrew culture?
+1 Reducing ambiguity like this is perhaps one of the purposes of parallelism - it certainly helps understand the meaning.

comment Who is “I” in Psalm 4
@Monica that also raises the question in my mind of separate authorship of the psalm and the note at the top, which I hadn't considered!

Great - can we talk in the chat room about my very rough suggested changes (link in my last comment)?

comment “First day of the week” or “one of the Sabbaths”?
This question falls the wrong side of the line to be on-topic on BH in my view - it starts with an article rather than starting from a Bible text. I'd be delighted to discuss this with you in The Library and equally happy to help you refocus the question to be on-topic if you are happy to do that :-)

comment Could ἀρχαὶ in Romans 8:38 be 'the past' rather than 'ruler' or similar
+1 and many thanks. 2 comments: 1) a sample size of 2 is not very large - leaving more doubt than if the word were widely used, and 2) You say "It is a plural noun, which immediately restricts the possible meanings.", without specifically saying that it could not be "beginnings" because it is plural - does it prevent that translation? iiuc, it is worth noting that ἐνεστῶτα and μέλλοντα are both plural too.
