I am a Canadian, married with kid, and working in Hong Kong. I usually answer posts from a reformed / protestant / evangelical perspective.

People I have encountered on this site seem to be a ‘whole bunch of good people’. Even those who sharply disagree with my own point of view.

I am a huge sinner but am happy knowing God's grace will keep me in his grip.

Feb 15	comment	Did Jesus endorse tithing for all when addressing the Pharisees? How the modern 10% tithe of all your income came about might be good reference for you as well: christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/10150/…
Feb 15	comment	Under a Christian exegesis, is the promise of 'a future Prophet', Christ, or all prophets culminating in Christ? +1 - Think this is a valid interpretation (I actually keep changing my mind between both views). I did find Luther agrees with this.
Feb 14	comment	Will glory be revealed “in us” or “to us” in Romans 8:18? I agree and this matches with Eph 3:10 as well.
Feb 14	comment	In the Peshitta NT, what was the original meaning of the word often translated “first day of the week”? @DanO'Day - Next time you use logos, right click the word and do 'power look up'. That should take you to the exact morph of the word. I think I finally understand the Lexicon - the problem is it did not come with a user guide. Cheers.
Feb 13	comment	In the Peshitta NT, what was the original meaning of the word often translated “first day of the week”? @DanO'Day - I understand the confusion. I am busy confusing myself. Actually on my Ipad when I highlight either word and press 'look up', I get exactly as you. However when I do the same on my Mac it directly takes me to the pictures I posted. It does not say week anywhere I only assume it through the link that only seems to work on my Mac. I think your answer is more reliable than mine. I am not confident in what I have found. I have just left it here if it is of some help.
Feb 13	comment	In the Peshitta NT, what was the original meaning of the word often translated “first day of the week”? @DanO'Day - I added pictures so you can see what I see in my lexicon. These two pictures are directly linked to the words Sabbath and Week in Math 18:1. (see above comment for my source). Beyond this I really do not know much.

Feb 13	comment	In the Peshitta NT, what was the original meaning of the word often translated “first day of the week”? From the Lexicon I have both words do mean Sabbath by themselves but when morphed it means 'week'. The basic root version,. i.e., Sabbath formal, is singular and the morphed version (with a few squiggly dots is plural). I actually can't logically find the right morph on my own, but my library is connected, so when I right click in the Peshitta it takes me to the right location in the lexicon. The Lexicon I used was 'Analytical Lexicon of the Syriac New Testament : Based on the SEDRA 3 Database of George Anton Kiraz'.
Feb 12	comment	If Joshua can be translated why Is the name of Jesus translated “Jesus” but his name in hebrew was Joshua? @fumanchu - thanks, I put it in the nominative.

Feb 7	comment	Why did the tabernacle use the colors blue, purple and scarlet? Actually I think I haVe to switch my acceptance. I have enjoyed the many answers on this post and I do still have not fully made up my mind, but I did learn the most from your post. Thanks.
