Age: 36

I am a web programmer by day (PHP) and work on sermons and teaching material in the evenings.

I attended Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri, for a Master of Arts in Theological Studies and a Master of Divinity. I am an associate pastor at a small church in Iowa. While in seminary, my emphasis was on Old Testament studies, but Dr. Wave Nunnally introduced me to the rabbinics. Those have become a special interest as well.

I also enjoy apologetics and was a very active member of the apologetics.org forum before it went defunct.

comment "A god" or "God" in John 1:1?
@hannes, God is not predicative in ho theos agape estin. ho theos is the subject. agape is the part to move after the verb when we translate. And I am arguing against uncap in John 1:1.

comment "A god" or "God" in John 1:1?
@hannes, right. It's a case where translating literally would destroy the meaning.

comment By what Name did God reveal Himself to Abraham?
This question came at a really bad time for me. I'm trying to get some projects at home finished up, and at work I don't have all the resources I need to do this properly. I'll get to this, though.

comment At what point did Abraham know he was talking to God in Genesis 18?
I like how you distinguish what the author knows and what Abraham knows. Very good focus.

comment What means it in the interest of science?
I tried to accept my own answer and it said I needed to wait 9 hours. It didn't say there was one already accepted.

One question I have. Did it remove the acceptance when I VtD? Monica's answer doesn't show accepted now.

For our test purposes, I think this one needs to be voted up.

Saw the question and had a flashback! They aren't duplicates but the title reminded me of the other one.

comment Where does the Tanakh differ from the Christian Old Testament?
@konwayk, I am truly sorry you feel I have been rude to you. I do recognize where you felt that way in chat and apologized. I have since made doubly sure to keep my comments to you related to the question at hand. God bless wherever you go.

comment What are the Pharisees saying to search in John 7:52?
I like how you started with finding other uses of "search" in John.
