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.

Does Paul reject the idea of celebrating holidays in Galatians? @Frank Luke: Jesus was there during Chanukka. It mentions nothing about him celebrating it. Nor does the Bible mention him celebrating Purim. Did he? Nobody knows for sure. |

Why are there two harvesters in Revelation 14? @Nikos: Not really. I think it's referring to the wrath of God that He will inflict upon the unrighteous on the earth in the last days. Of course, after that, the dead unrighteous will be in Geihinnam for eternity unless somehow they repent, but I don't know if that would happen. In any case, hope that answers your question. |

Why is the Septuagint (LXX) significant? What does it mean they "quote from it under inspiration"? I don't quite understand that. Inspiration of the Holy Spirit is commonly used for prophesying, where God speaks directly through you. In the case of quoting the Septuagint, they were simply reading or citing what is already written on parchment a couple hundred years before they (the apostles) lived. I mean, the ECF's quoted from the Septuagint, too. Was that under "inspiration of the Holy Spirit"? I just don't think "inspiration of the Holy Spirit" is relevant to quoting from the Septuagint. Maybe that's just me. |

Does Theophilus of Antioch's statement have any bearing on interpreting Mathew 5:28? The relevant passage in Theophilus' work is Ch. 13, not Ch. 3. |

What is the difference between exegesis and hermeneutics? I agree. Short and sweet. Exegesis - the interpretation; hermeneuetics - rules for interpretation. |

What options did Mary have in mind with Gabriel's greeting? Possibly, but that would incite amazement, or disbelief. One might say, "Ha, yeah right!" But, the presence of the verb "troubled" (διαταράσσω; v. 29) and Gabriel's statement, "Do not fear!" (μὴ φοβοῦ; v. 30) seem to imply that Mary was scared. |
