I've never heard of anyone consider Jeremiah to be an author of Job, ...that is until now. If that's the case, (highly unlikely) Baruch, (Jeremiah's amanuensis) would play a significant role. On one hand, there are many Aramaic words used in Job, On the other hand, there are many hapax legomena...

QUESTION—Who are the spirits he is referring to? 1. They are the spirits of the people of Noah’s generation [Alf, ICC, TG, TNTC; NJB, TEV]. 2. They are supernatural beings. 2.1 They are fallen angels [NTC]. 2.2 They are the fallen angels of Genesis 6:1–4 who married human women and had...

Apparently there are a few Steve Wongs, ...who would have guessed? lol His book doesn't give many clues about his background; the first indicator of a possibly aberrant theology. The book only describes him as: "...a Christian author, international speaker, and digital evangelist..."...

The April issue of Themelios [LINK]: Volume 51, No. 1, is now available in PDF or with Logos. It's a special issue in honor of the former general editor, D. A. Carson. Certainly there's something for in it that would interest anyone! Contents D. A. Carson’s Influence on Biblical Theology -...

I purchased this book after viewing a FB website where the author presented his ideas about Christianity. He has such a smooth, thoughtful and peaceful demeanor that I desired to know about his views. Steven Wong presents a non-orthodox view of Christianity. His views of divine justice, hell...

Dr. John Lightfoot, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and one of the most eminent Hebrew scholars of his time, declared, as the result of his most profound and exhaustive study of the Scriptures, that "heaven and earth, centre and circumference, were created all together, in the...

I think I have a book about this in my library...

Hummm, I never would have guessed that Wayne Grudem was a Charismatic Baptist! That helps to explain a bit of the disagreement I have with a few of his positions. Rob

Another rather recent commentary has been written on 1 Peter by someone very close to an honored poster here on the BB. Rob ~~~~~~~~~ "What is the meaning and significance of the phrase “baptism now saves you” in 1 Pet 3:21? Before we list the options for the meaning of the phrase in 1 Peter...

My previous church had a young woman who regularly played the cello. What a wonderful instrument! She was usually accompanied beside electric organs, guitar, bass guitar, and drums. Rob

Please pardon my intrusion into the Fundamental Forum (is this really necessary anymore?). I find it strange that when I study a particular book of the bible, every passage I read relates to every other part of the Scriptures I read in some way. I'm studying Joshua now. In Joshua 5 the entire...

We rest when we tire. God’s rest does not equate with what we do when we rest. God rests when he sits upon his throne; when he rules. To enter God’s rest is to be under his rule, to live under his authority. The rest that Jesus offers us is not relaxation. His yoke is upon us, but not...

Where there is no vision, the people //are יִפָּ֣רַֽע naked: But he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18

Salty posted to indicate that Genesis 2:25 and Exodus 32:25 used different Hebrew words for the word translated "naked" in the KJV. 1. The word translated naked in Genesis 2:25 is עָרוֹם (ʿārôm) [Isa 20:2; Amos 2:16; Mic 1:8; Job 24:7; Ec 5:14; // group: Isa 58:7; Job 22:6] 2. The Hebrew word...

1) Always a wise decision to compare various Bible versions when studying a text. (AV 1873) And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame amongst their enemies:) (NIV 2011) Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them...
