I am what might be considered a computer architecture hobbyist, having posted some macroarchitectural and microarchitectural thoughts on the comp.arch newsgroup and the Real World Technologies forum.
My church affiliation is Presbyterian (PCA) by temperament and general belief.
I am only mostly useless. Mostly useless is slightly useful. (Yes, I liked the movie The Princess Bride.)

What does it mean to “Bless the LORD”? Yeah, that is why I emphasized "might" and included "more technical" rather than simply "better"; a multifaceted approach would be more fitting here. (I am not involved at BH, so I do not at all mind keeping interesting questions here when they are reasonably on-topic. I just thought BH might have appropriate expertise that is less common here.) |

What does it mean to “Bless the LORD”? The Septuagint use of 'eulogia'--'eu' prefix for "good/well", 'logos' being "word"--to translate 'blessing' (in other passages) may give a hint, speaking a good word (benediction being the Latin derived form). This might get a better/more technical answer at Biblical Hermeneutics since it is asking about meaning more than interpretation, application, or other aspects more fitting with Christianity SE. |

Will there be ongoing co-creation (aka technological development) in heaven? +1 for J.E. quote. It is not implausible that the unity and diversity of 1 Cor. 12 will continue. One might also speculate that since creation reflects the glory of God, scientific examination would be integrated with theology and mathematical models of creation would resemble psalms of praise. The unity of redemption (Jn 17:22-23) would seem to extend beyond persons into the various aspects of Creation. |

What is the basis of the argument that asserts that Open Theism is heretical? As has been noted, Open Theists would also seem to require a much more relaxed method of interpreting scripture since foreknowledge and/or foreordaining are commonly referenced (e.g., Rev. 13:8, Ps. 139:16). If scripture is not clear and infallible, the basis for faith is substantially weakened; "I think God is likely to continue to be merciful because some of these writing might be his communication of that earlier intention" might not be very Good News. :-) |

What evidence is there that the New Testament was originally written in Aramaic? Googling peshitta brought me to this wikipedia article which does state that such is not the "mainstream" view. Given such quick partial results, I suspect someone will take the time to provide a real answer sometime soon(ish). |

Can the grace of God depart from a Christian? I don't think this is a duplicate since it seems to be specifically asking about how one verse should be interpreted. |
