My day-to-day work is with a combination of C, ksh and PL/SQL. I enjoy asking and answering questions that come up at work. I also dabble in Perl, lua and LaTeX. My boss has asked me to learn Python as well.
I'm married, with three children: a son and a set of mixed-gender twins.
My favorite living philosopher is Alvin Plantinga and my favorite dead philosopher is Blaise Pascal. I think Paul of Tarsus is too little credited as a force in Western philosophy. If you think I'm a Christian, you're right.
Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. -- 1 Corinthians 1:20-25 (ESV)

Does the qal in Amos 3:6 automatically imply causation? See also: Why is “raah” usually translated differently in Amos 3:6 and 9:4 ? |

What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Hi @ChristoherSadoun: it seems like you have managed to get two accounts. If you'd like to merge them, you may do that: hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/help/user-merge |

Is Jesus equal to or less than the Father @Dan O'Day: Either that or an answer would need to write a book in order to answer it. |

How are verses indicating that God is a God of war, and others indicating that he is a God of peace reconciled to not be contradictory? Ok. I've closed this question once again. It's really asking about hermeneutics approaches, which is on-topic. The problem (as I see it) is that the question doesn't spell out the problem in a general way. Rather than focus on a list of passages or contradictory attributes, we should focus on how to think about contradictory (at least on the surface) statements. |

To what extent is Psalm 51:4 poetic exaggeration? Hi hannes and welcome to the site. I appreciate the answer and agree that part of the reason David phrases it the way he does is the emphasize the immensity of sin against God. I encourage you to continue thinking about the question. You might be interested in reading What are we looking for in answers? Don't forget, you can always come back and edit this answer. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. |

Where can I find Greek and Hebrew plain text sources? Welcome to Biblical Hermeneutics, Qoheleth-Tech! I'm sorry we have to close this question and it doesn't reflect poorly on you in any way. It's marginally off-topic in the sense that it isn't really asking about the texts or about a specific hermeneutical approach, but is rather asking where to find resources. I picked the "Not Constructive" reason since it doesn't really fit with the way Stack Exchange functions. I see you've gotten involved in chat, which is really the best place to discuss this. I look forward to seeing you around and reading your future answers! |

What is the status of the Law in the Messianic Age? I took a moment to add the verses in Revelation you refer to (and switched from KJV to NASB). Is your question ultimately whether Isaiah 2 and Revelation 20 are speaking of the same events? |
