And that's why we're discussing the text.

To me it seems that this claim would limit YHWH in his omnipotence.
If he so chooses to be pierced, then he can.Doctrine needs to follow scripture, and not the other way around. You can't use doctrine to argue for a part…

I like Christian pop. In my native German, Lothar Kosse is my favourite. Here's a sample:

As the death of CD was untimely and unannounced, I believe they owe us an explanation - and an apology.
As for the posts on the original CD - I've found a way to extract them from the internet archive.
However, that is a hugely tediou… -

I consider myself an old-earth progressive vreationist, and have no issue with animal and plant death occurring prior to the fall.
The two relevant passages that young-earth creationists usually take as evidence that there was no animal d…

Very well. Biblical Studies it is then. I've used the tag line from you initial suggestion.

Opinions about the explanation differ, as the comments on Youtube show.

Okay, I've restored your discussion along with about a dozen other postings, and excluded everyone involved from the spam filter for any future postings. I'll do the same for other forum regulars on a case-by-case basis, and will check the spam f…

No. It was flagged as spam. The log says you flagged it yourself. I'll approve it, then try to find ou what happened, and hope be able to modify the settings so that it's not gonna happen again.

How about "Theology Questions"? That makes it obvious that the focus is more academic, and it's a clear distinction to Bible Questions.
Another question: Is there any desire for a "Church History" category, or a broader "History" category t… -

Correct. A bishop in the NT was more like a local elder. Today's role of bishop didn't exist back then. The role of a pastor in the NT was shepherding the congregation. The teaching was done by by a teacher. Today's pastor must do both…

So to me it seems then that "Biblical Criticism" is a good candidate for a new category. I'll add it later tonight.

Could we try to find a better title for the new category? The other titles are short and broad; the new category should be the same. Does "Original Languages" cover it, or "Philology"?
The phrase "Biblical literary analysis and Textual Cr…
Knowing Hebrew would be an advantage now. I did check NIV, LEB and NASB before, which all render the verse similar. I also checked the NWT online so see how the JW twist the verse (which of course they do).
Here are some more samples from…
Looking at Paul's letters, and Revelation, it seems there was one church in each city. "Paul... to the church of God sanctified in Christ Jesus that is in Corinth." etc.
The church in Ephesus rented the school of Tyrannus, so it seems the…
(Quote)That might actually be the case. I just found a blog post that claims that the Jedi are actually Muslims.
Good!
Letting everyone create their own tags is the way to go then, I assume?
If you (or anyone else) want the existi…I find the cosmological argument the most convincing, as it can't be seen as "defining God into existence" like for example the ontological argument.
It also seems to be the most attacked argument by new atheism, which I take as an indica…

I'm trying to configure user-generated tags.

YES! As evidence, let me quote Zechariah 12:10 - a passage that I recently heard from Rabbi Jonathan Bernis, and was in its nuances new to me.
"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace a…

On the other hand, it is the unofficial successor of a forum run by FL. Further, using the original icon would spare me from creating (or purchasing the rights to use…
I'm a bit torn on the issue. On the one hand, narrower categories or subcategories would bundle related topics together, and make it easier to find whatever interests one. On the other hand, if there are a lot of categories, they would - if looke…
