comment Who led the people out of Israel in Jude 5?
@DanO'Day I encourage you to accept the best answer regardless of who answers—most visitors don't know about the community aspect of the site and we are really here to benefit them (we are currently getting 700+ visitors daily, most directly from Google!). Of course I agree this is the best answer (thanks swasheck) but I don't want anyone to get the impression from your comment that you'd choose it even if it weren't :)

comment God the Father's possession of a body of flesh and bones
Thanks for the edit: sorry to mess you around like this but it seems clear to me now that this is a real question, but that it is off topic. Please see this on meta for the detail but basically I think your question arises from a doctrine rather than arises from the text (though of course it is about the text, I'm not debating that, but we've had to make the rules very specific on this)

comment Does 1st Kings say that pi = 3?
+1 for a common-sense answer though you haven't really added much that hasn't been said already ;)

comment Why did the witnesses lay their coats at Paul's feet?
+1 I find this an interesting comparison especially considering 1 Timothy 1:15-16. It would help others if you would add the Bible quotes inline (you can edit your answer)—are you willing to spend a few minutes doing that?

comment What are the differences between Hebrew and Aramaic?
This related question: How different is Biblical Hebrew from modern Hebrew? covers some of the same ground.

comment What's the difference between “sensus plenior” and “inspired sensus plenior”?
Well I don't particularly mind if you want it left just the way it is :) tbh I was wondering if it was deliberate irony given the question ;)

comment What are the limits to the Christological hermeneutic?
+1 and thanks for contributing. You might like to know the iOS link on your profile page seems to be broken (or private)?

comment Is there a link between the Jewish expectation of a literal Messianic kingdom and the command to witness to the ends of the earth in Acts 1?
Thanks for the edits Joseph, I've changed my vote. Lucky I checked back though because otherwise I wouldn't have known you done it. As a courtesy please reply to comments from moderators (I promise not to spam you). This very short paragraph from the FAQ tells you how using the '@' symbol so we get messages.

Also, an aside, your diagram is great: would you be willing to add it in the body of the answer?

I like a 'big picture' answer, but I don't like "Please suffer me to render my "opinion" on the matter" as it seems to refer to a debate on another answer and would merely serve to confuse most visitors. Please consider editing it and I will consider changing my downvote to an upvote.

comment Is Satan one of the “sons of God”?
+1 I like your reasoning which broadly makes a lot of sense to me. It isn't as well formatted and clear as some of your other efforts though: if you have a few minutes would you be willing to break it up a little? Do pop into the site chat room, 'The Library', if you'd like me to show you what I mean.

comment What sort of creature swallowed Jonah?
Colin's and @H3br3wHamm3r81's comment above are about all that can be said without everyone saying their personal opinion—as such the question isn't constructive enough to be left open I'm afraid. Don't let that put you off asking more questions here, but please lean towards those that can be answered with reason or analysis and interpretation of the text itself rather than those that are purely subjective.
