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.

comment Under a Christian exegesis, is the promise of 'a future Prophet', Christ, or all prophets culminating in Christ?
@Mike I didn't want to go into it in this answer, but I actually think this prophecy (like most) is ultimately speaking of something eschatological (Christ), but is also alluding to an immediate natural illustration (the next prophet to arise). However, I think that technically my view is closer to the view I presented in this answer than it is to the "all prophets culminating in Christ" view, because in my view the true fulfillment is Christ - the rest is just for illustration.

comment Literary independence of the synoptics
Are you sure you were understanding Mawia correctly? I doubt if (s)he meant "in a vacuum." My guess is (s)he was reacting to the redaction-criticism terminology, which has come to have some negative connotations with some of the JEDP-type stuff, as Fraser noted. Calling Mark the "original" of Matthew was probably confusing for them. Anyway, something to consider.

comment What does “when children come to the moment of birth and there is no strength” mean in this context?
I wouldn't immediately jump to allegorizing. The literal makes more sense, as you're noticing and Dan O'Day explained.

comment Was Origen Adamantius an “allegorist” in the modern sense of the word?
So in summary, Origen's interpretation was closer to typology than modern allegory (in that it was based on the "literal"), but his emphasis was on the "spiritualization" above the "literal", which is more similar to modern allegory than typology. So the answer would be "a little bit of (A) and a little bit of (C)".
