+1 and thanks. re you edit, can you give an example verse of the later use of δὲ changing the translation of a preceding verb in the way you suggest?

comment How does Jesus' argument from David and the show bread work?
@Soldarnal - agreed, I didn't mean to imply that was their reason, just to illustrate the difference between obeying the law and pleasing the law-giver in principle. It is the Pharisees inability to see below the surface of the law into the heart of the one who gave it that provokes Jesus to chastise them.

comment Old Testament connection between circumcision and (re)birth?
I think it is too old here (and answer-accepted) to be an acceptable migration candidate - sorry I didn't act earlier. My suggestion would be to ask again on J.SE and comment to the posters here to that effect so they can move their answers manually if they wish to.

comment Which are the Ten Commandments?
Monica I've just come across Deu 4:13 - although I fully agree with the sense of your answer, I now wonder if you are downplaying the significance of 'ten' as a special number?

comment How many common hermeneutical approaches are there and how do they differ?
my hope was to get a bullet list of named hermeneutical approaches with a single sentence broad summary for each - but I'm far from sure that is possible. If I don't get that I will accept your answer because it paints a helpful broad picture and includes a historical perspective that I hadn't thought of asking for as a bonus

comment How do I find out when a Bible passage applies to me?
Yes, "Can I use it as if he was writing to me or is this their story?" is a very specific kind of (mis)application

comment How do I find out when a Bible passage applies to me?
@Jon Yes and No - that is true, but Christ's rescue of fallen humanity is a particular fulfilment of the defeat of Goliath, and I don't mean to imply otherwise. I mention Elijah as he is associated with the final defeat of God's enemies.
