From your post: Having all three creates the problem of inconsistencies among them, ranging from the wording of quotes to entire events. While this may be seen as a problem, it is also benefi...
I don't understand the exact objection in bowing down to the King, which is a universal practise in line with the Bible (Rom 13) and does not seem to violate monotheism, as it is not a worship of h...
There is considerable debate in matters concerning literary criticism within Christianity, so many sources will reflect a certain perspective on the historicity of accounts and how genre interplays...
What books or other resources introduce the different genres recognised in the Bible from a literary view? It would be helpful if the recommended resources address how scholars differentiate betwee...
Don't you need to add a secular academic Hermeneutics site which sets apart from the dogma-based Christianity site? There will be always a huge barrier between religious believers and scientific st...
I don't know any scripture that talks about that God uses humans now to rule over heavenly beings. But about the future there is 1 Corinthians 6:3: Know ye not that we shall judge angels? ... ...
This makes sense to me, and seeing no objections, I've gone ahead and turned them off. These -- or different ones! -- can be enabled if the community wants.
I think I came across this idea through the Bible Project, but I could be wrong. It's worth noting that there doesn't seem to be any explicit mention in the Bible of God caring for and governing t...
There are certain Anabaptist groups that eschew photography for different reasons (the Amish being the more extreme end of this, whereas some Mennonites are OK with a modicum of technology). See ht...
I heard about this sect on the news, but can't remember the term. Anyone know what I mean? Aniconism isn't the answer — because I know this noun already — but also because this faction allows th...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
The website for the Apostolic Bible Polyglot English Text adapted by Tyndale House (ABEn) is: https://www.apostolicbible.com I believe it is based on the Apostolic Bible Polyglot Greek Text (abpgr...
The Greek Septuagint (LXX) differs from the Hebrew Masoretic Text (MT). ABEn follows the former whereas NASB follows the latter. As to which is more accurate is subjective and depends on which you ...
Why is ABEn different from other translations that use the Hebrew Scriptures? I know it uses the Greek translation. But is ABEn or the Greek translation less accurate? In Proverbs 29:1 NASB: (NAS...
Reacting to answers is a pretty good feature I've to admit but the current reactions aren't a good fit here. Apparently, each community is free to do its own customizations [1], therefore, I'm pro...
TL;DR Before launching a new site, make sure there are a lot of users who are willing to volunteer their time and effort to help build and maintain the community. Overall, improve the UI ...
The basic answer is simply because those three gospels were in universal use throughout the Church, east west and south. When we consider the actions of ecumenical councils and great synods and thi...
In Numbers 33 Moses gives an exhaustive and detailed list of every place the tribe of Israel stopped, from the moment they left Egypt on the morning after passover until parked right outside of th...
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are called the Synoptic Gospels because they obviously draw upon common source material. John, in contrast, is less similar to any of them than they are to ea...
The question is a little unclear to me, but I think it predominantly concerns fixation on sin within the "domain" of the heart rather than the mind as understood within modern Western societies tha...
These refer to different Catholic rites (and accompanying masses) that have their own respective liturgical calendars (and so also have different lectionary readings). Roman rite The Ordinary and...
I downloaded an application that provides daily bible texts. Within the app, it is possible to switch between different calendars: Roman ordinary calendar Maronite calendar Extraordinary calen...
Latin vs. Greek manuscripts The Douay-Rheims (DRB) is a translation of the Latin Vulgate, whereas the KJV (and most modern translations) follow the available Greek New Testament manuscripts. The ...
There are different translations of "dream(ers)" in Jude 8. For example: ESV: Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme th...
Accuracy and 'literalness' are only two of several factors in a translation, and I would argue that they are subjective factors at that. I would propose the following criteria for selecting an Engl...
