@Lance, Ron please take this to chat if you wish to continue at all - comments are not a useful forum for debate. By all means bookmark a chat conversation and link to it here...

comment Why does God say he only revealed his name, Yahweh, to Moses?
+1 for an interesting and thought-provoking answer, -1 for "It cannot be resolved in any other reasonable way". That is rarely true in my opinion - 'reasonable' wrong answers are unfortunately relatively easy to construct.

comment What Scriptures is Paul referring to in 1 Cor 15:4
+1 especially for considering the emphasis may be on raised rather than on the third day - there is no way of being certain of Paul's intent from the text so no justification for assuming Paul is referring specifically to both.

comment Are Job's friends the voice of the Accuser?
It isn't entirely novel :-) I think at least the content of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes dates from the time of David and Solomon - it is hard to be sure when Job is from but I am assuming it was later, yes.
