What is my religious affiliation?
I am Jewish by birth (this is not the religious affiliation), Christian by faith (this is the religious affiliation). Very simple.

What is the significance of the verb בנה in Genesis 2:22? Very well done, especially your insight about the Church being a holy building (a spiritual house) built of living stones, perfectly fitted together. |

What gender does the pronouns have that denote ruach or pneuma? Hebrew simply does not have a neuter-gender, so all words are either masculine or feminine. Sure, we may translate a Hebrew pronoun as "it," but the pronoun still possesses a gender. The "it" comes from the translator's preference, not the actual grammar of the Hebrew word. Greek, on the other hand, does have a neuter gender. In the case of ruach, the grammatical gender of the word may be feminine; that is not a proof that the Holy Spirit is indeed feminine. |

Why does Jehoash cry “The chariots and horsemen of Israel”? To note, Elisha uttered the same phrase upon watching Elijah be taken to heaven. See 2 Kings 2:12. blueletterbible.org/… |

What does “born again” from John 3:3 mean? It can also be translated literally as "born again" --- and that is exactly how Nikodemos' ears understood since he asked, "How can a man enter a second time into his mother's womb...?" "Second time" --> "again." For an instance where it clearly means "again," see Gal. 4:9. |

Should the title in Isaiah 9 be translated? Edit: Made a typo there. I meant to say vayyikra rather than vayikkra. And also, nif'al not nif'il. ugh. =) |

Should the title in Isaiah 9 be translated? @Monica Cellio: וַיִּקְרָא means "and he called." It is binyan Kal (active voice), not Nif'il (passive voice). See Leviticus 1:1, one of the more famous verses employing the same verb, hence "Leviticus" in Hebrew is called Vayikkra (the same verb), because it begins, "And YHVH called to Moshe..." The phrase וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ altogether means "and he called his name." The one calling the name of the son (such-and-such-and-such) is YHVH of hosts (cp. Isa. 9:6 Mas., 9:7 A.V. where it says קנאת יהוה צבאות תעשה־זאת). |
