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.

In what way is OT Scripture profitable . . . Timothy didn't know Paul's epistles when he was a child. The notion of a Jew knowing scriptures since childhood --- is clearly a reference to the Torah. They start learning it at 5 years old. This is not only attested in the Mishna, but also in Josephus and Philo. |

Who is it that “wills” in 1 Corinthians 12:11? Have you read Gill's belief on 1 Cor. 12:6? biblestudytools.com/commentaries/gills-exposition-of-the-bible/… What do you think about it? |

Should The Creation Story in Genesis Be Understood as Metaphorical? If "metaphorical," does that entirely reject the belief that Adam and Eve literally existed and were the first humans to be created? |

Contextually, which English translation/ Greek text seems more probable in Rev. 5:10? @swascheck: I do appreciate your intense research into the subject. It just wasn't exactly what I asked for. I hope you understand. :) |

Contextually, which English translation/ Greek text seems more probable in Rev. 5:10? I don't really agree... There's no ambiguity in "contextually." And there's no real reason for a "deeper analysis" when I provided the textual variants that I wanted the reader to consider. Had I asked, "What are the textual variants of Rev. 5:10, and which is more likely?" then I would have expected most if not all to focus on the textual criticism aspect instead of analyzing the context. But, truthfully, I wanted to know how the "elders and beasts" would be involved in the redemption (if the translation "us" was more likely), if at all. |

Were the Nephilim in Genesis 6 aliens? Actually, nefilim or nephilim (whichever you prefer) does not mean "fallen," i.e. "fallen ones." That would be נפוּלים (nefulim or nephulim). All we know is that the word נפילים (nefilim) shares the same trigeminal root as the verb נפל (nafal), which means "to fall." However, there's a possibility it could be a conjugation of the verb פָּלָא in binyan Nif'al, meaning "those who are great, amazing," referring to their immense stature. |

If synoptic parallelism is a valid hermeneutic, is the Holy Spirit = the Spirit of the Father? Probably not a good idea because "Is the Holy Spirit the Spirit of the Father?" then becomes a question of Christian doctrine and no longer a question about specific verses and biblical hermeneutics. |

If synoptic parallelism is a valid hermeneutic, is the Holy Spirit = the Spirit of the Father? So, can I start a new thread asking, "Is the Holy Spirit the Spirit of the Father?" |

Does the communion cup emphasize the vessel or the drink? @Eli Rosencruft: Per 1 Cor. 10:16, I always thought it was the כוס של ברכה. |

What is the difference in the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God? I don't know which is more common, but they're both definitely used. What will you be searching for exactly? |

What is the difference in the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God? Talmud is replete with occurrences of שמיים being used as a name of God, as well as the other words. One example: Brakhot 33b. הכל בידי שמים חוץ מיראת שמים, that is, "Everything is in the hand of 'Heaven' except the fear of 'Heaven.' Both occurrences of 'Heaven' mean 'God.' |
