| Aug 4, 2017 at 1:29 | comment | added | Bob Jones | Stephen was using Remez the same as Jesus did on the cross. A phrase is merely a reference to a more complete treatment in the original source. If i were to say "He met his waterloo" you would not expect me to go into the details of Napoleon's defeat. It is summarized in the metaphor. | |
| May 9, 2013 at 6:21 | comment | added | Matthew Miller | @BobJones Sorry I had to downvote. Way too many up votes. Your answer depends too much on Hebrews 11 and 12 and not on what Stephen has said or appears to imply. Where does Stephen mention that Abraham's father stood in his way? Where does he say that Joseph was looking for a kingdom? Where does he state that Moses died in the wilderness? I agree that Stephen is saying the events he mentions were types and shadows fulfilled in Christ and his generation but you've added a great deal to what Stephen has actually said. | |

| Jun 12, 2012 at 14:46 | comment | added | warren | one minor point - Moses didn't die before the Promised Land because the people opposed him, he died for striking the rock when God told him to talk to it | |

| Jun 5, 2012 at 21:21 | comment | added | Bob Jones | Thanks. That is cool. Now I have to find the question concerning Ex 4 where I needed it.. | |
| Jun 5, 2012 at 21:11 | comment | added | Jon Ericson | It appears there is no direct support for tables. You might consider using this tool, but it will probably look strange for mobile devices. | |
| Jun 5, 2012 at 20:56 | comment | added | Bob Jones | @Jon I'm barely able to navigate. I figure there is always a competent programmer sitting in the wings just chomping at the bit to correct my errors... and sure enough one came flying out of the rafters ;-) Thanks for doing that. But since you're here, how do you do a three-column table? | |
| Jun 5, 2012 at 20:47 | comment | added | Jon Ericson | By the way, I tried to reformat the answer so that it's a little easier for me to read. Don't hesitate to ask in chat or on the meta if you need help getting your posts looking the way you want them. The formatting was designed by programmers for programmers, so it might not be intuitive to everyone else. | |
| Jun 5, 2012 at 20:44 | comment | added | Jon Ericson | That outline is very helpful to understanding Stephen's argument. Thanks! | |
