Grew up Mennonite; now Reformed Baptist. Figure that one out.
Having recently upgraded to an Android tablet, I mostly use YouVersion's Bible app. Before that, I primarily used e-Sword and NET Bible on a Fujitsu tablet PC. I've actually been fully electronic since 2002 or 2003, when I got a Pocket PC device. As I told a friend at the time, "I just got an eight-language parallel Bible with Greek and Hebrew lexicons, and it only weighs 5 ounces!"

What is the argument against the authenticity of 1 John 5:7-8 in the KJV? Yes, I was playing on Noah's remark on the KJV-Only people. Which is why I followed it with a wink. |

What is the argument against the authenticity of 1 John 5:7-8 in the KJV? If the KJV was good enough for Jesus and Paul... ;) Also, @Jon, I assume you meant BH.SE? |

Bart D. Ehrman - respected critic? This is exactly the argument in an ongoing discussion with a friend - regardless of whether one's conclusion is "right" or not, if you arrive there via flawed methods then at the least you can't expect others to arrive at the same conclusion, and even more, you may want to re-evaluate your own conclusions. |

Does Paul see baptism as symbolic or as instrumental? In other words, there is no such thing as a believer who is not indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and this act of God can be seen as a baptism. |

Does Paul see baptism as symbolic or as instrumental? To follow on from @Jas3.1 if Paul is talking about "spiritual baptism", commonly taken to mean the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within a new believer, then the symbolism makes just as much sense but without the baggage of making an act (water baptism) regenerative. |

What does “Under the Sun” mean in Ecclesiastes? I realize that Douglas Adams probably isn't the best resource on a Biblical hermeneutics site, but in Life, the Universe and Everything he refers to a prosaic structure, "above the grass", used by a race that populates a planet completely cut off from the rest of the universe by a thick dust cloud and therefore unaware that anything relevant exists above the treetops. |

What is the head covering referring to in 1 Corinthians 11:4-6? @LanceRoberts The length of hair is not the point of the passage - Paul uses it only to shed light on the real point. Whether it is hair length or an external symbol, the underlying point is a matter of the heart. |

Why is Moses' reference to God's promise in Exodus 32 effective? Not from God's perspective, certainly, but Moses is the speaker and seems to suggest that from a human perspective. |

Reconciling the accounts of the calling of Simon Peter Given that the fundamental circumstances are clearly different, and the John passage explicitly claims to be a first meeting between Jesus and the two men, that seems to be the clearest way to read this. |
