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)

In the Peshitta NT, what was the original meaning of the word often translated “first day of the week”? I've inserted quotations from the relevant texts. I picked the Aramaic Bible in Plain English because of the nature of the question. We can use some other translation instead if you like. |

What is the “Water” of Genesis 1:2? I've added a quotation of the text in question and removed some of the "possible answers". I think the multiple meanings given by Strong's shows that the word can mean several different things. Feel free to self-answer your question if you feel lead! |

Why did the tabernacle use the colors blue, purple and scarlet? I've tightened the focus down to just the description of the tabernacle in Numbers 4. We can ask questions about the other passages if we need to. ;-) |
