I'm a born-again Christian, active member of the body of Christ, husband and father, and Bible teacher. I love to study Scripture, and firmly believe it is the only credible standard for truth.

Aside from my devotion to God, His people, and His word, I don't really have any loyalty to a particular doctrine or creed.

Jun 13	comment	Is John 21 a later addition to the Fourth Gospel? I don't have time for a formal answer at the moment, but until I get around to it, here are a couple of things to note. John 20:30-31 reveals John's purpose in writing this Gospel, but it was not merely recorded as a summary purpose statement. It is the latter part of a flow of thought beginning several verses prior. (Cf. John 19:35 in context)

Jun 12	asked	In 2 Peter 1:20-21, is Peter referring to all Scripture, or is he referring more specifically to the prophecies that are recorded in Scripture?
Jun 12	comment	In John 18, who was high priest at the time of Jesus' arrest? @MonicaCellio He does not. If you were interested in digging deeper, I'd recommend the Intro to the New Testament that he wrote with Moo. I'm betting that if he cites his source anywhere, it would be there.

Jun 12	comment	Does John 21:20-24 indicate that the original author of the Fourth Gospel was dead? @MatthewMiller That is a fair point, but what I was attempting to shine some light on is the origin of such arguments (historically). They have their roots in "Group B" thinking, not in "Group A" thinking. This is a point I would encourage everyone to consider very carefully. Personally, I always try to fall on the side of trusting the word and the church, rather than on the side of skepticism. The book I referenced in my answer has a really superb treatment of this issue that I would highly recommend to anyone reading this.
Jun 12	comment	How many days elapsed between Jesus's baptism and his return to Galilee? @MatthewMiller Careful reading resolves the vast majority of alleged contradictions.
Jun 11	comment	Did Paul expect Timothy to see “the last days”? If there is no marriage in heaven and that includes our marriage to Christ, then we will be in a heap of trouble after the resurrection. We'll all be separate from Christ (a.k.a. Hell.) Or do you just mean there will be no *weddings* in heaven? If that's what you mean, please note that the Sadducees question to Jesus that you referenced (Matt 22, Mark 12, Luke 20) was specifically about how things would work between people who were already married and thus has nothing to do with the idea that there will be marriage, but no weddings in heaven.

Jun 11	comment	How is it that Jesus could be “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”? Interestingly, if you take this approach to the question, you have a new problem to address, because if you shift Jesus' crucifixion back a day, rather than Him being dead 3 days and 2 nights, you have Him dead 4 days and 3 nights. If you go with Him being in the tomb instead, then you only have him in the tomb 2 days, because He had already risen before the last day began!
