I am a software dude living in Dallas. I've been doing that for about either years now. Fun times.
Prior to this I attended school to receive a Master of Theology. Of course that doesn't mean I know what I'm talking about :) That was mostly fun but I needed a break from school after that, so I got a "real job".
My primary interest is Greek as well as the study of early Christianity. I attend and teach at FBC Parker, TX.
I blog on stuff related to Early Christianity here, if you are interested: http://www.archaicchristianity.com/blog

Spirit of the Lord Upon David Clearly the Spirit did not indwell all Israelites but I'm curious what your justification is for the distinction between "indwelling" and "coming upon"? |

What do Protestants say was the source for the doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary? Even though generally I agree with you on an interpretational level, I don't see how this answers the question. Isn't he asking a historical question, not an interpretational one? |

What do Protestants say was the source for the doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary? It would be difficult to make the protestant reformation depend on the printing press though it certainly helped it along. The so-called magisterial reformers were all educated men and would have had access to a copy of the Scriptures and have had the ability to read them just fine. The printing press helped the reformers get the masses behind them but would not have been too critical for some of the leadership. Of course this may not apply to some of the more radical parts of the reformation. |

What is God's good news before Jesus's death and resurrection? I want to +5 just because you didn't boil down the gospel to just salvation by faith :) From a "normal" Jewish perspective, you are absolutely right. The gospels identify John as the voice crying out in the wilderness of Isaiah 40. The only thing that I think should be added was that Jesus brought this message plus some level of redefinition. Though that wasn't clear in John's message, it was in Jesus'. |

What evidence do we have today about Christian groups not represented at the first four ecumenical councils? Glad I could help. |

How do we know to refer to the Holy Spirit as He? @DJClayworth it is actually arbitrary, to a point. The gender used is masculine because "paraclete"/"helper" is masculine. The word choice itself was not arbitrary because he meant to say what he said, but the gender of the word is. So this line of reasoning is not accurate. |
