Did Paul write the Epistle to the Hebrews? Fear of outright rejection by Jewish Christians caused Paul to strike his name? |

Why is the word Lord in all Capital letters in the Old Testament but not in the new? To be clear: יהוה (Yahweh) = LORD - specific name, אֲדֹנָי (Adonai) = Lord - title, κύριος = Lord - title. |

What was the difference between the Pharisees and Sadducees? Scribes were more of a functional group than a religious faction. They were the ones who actually would replicate copies of the law. As such, they were probably more familiar with the actual semantics of the Law than any other group, and could function as teachers, advisers, and "lawyers" in the IT/NT era. They're probably associated closely with the Pharisees given the Pharisees' emphasis on keeping the law. |

Is it hypocritical to be a Christian and also be against welfare? +1 from me. However, I'd like to see the downvoter(s) explain themselves. Just because you disagree doesn't mean that this answer doesn't contribute a valuable perspective on the conversation. |

How does a biblical literalist interpret the tale of David and Goliath? Maybe Saul just couldn't believe that that guy who couldn't wear his armor was the one who actually just killed Goliath. They would have been watching from a distance. |

Why is the KJV frequently said to be the “true” translation? Great answer. I debated going into all of this but just didn't have the momentum for it, so I went the route I did. Additionally, I am in staunch opposition to the KJV-only perspective so I had a hard time separating the question of "why/how is it justified?" from "why it's wrong" (which I believe has been addressed many times. |

What was the difference between the Pharisees and Sadducees? @mojo yes, that's what I was driving toward but didn't really explicitly state as much. Thanks for the clarification. |

What was the difference between the Pharisees and Sadducees? Bodily Resurrection was outside of the domain of the Pentateuch, so this is correct. Philosophically and doctrinally Jesus was more in line with the Pharisees which is why he's so harsh with them. It's more of a household cleanup than it is outright disagreement. |

Is it hypocritical to be a Christian and also be against welfare? +1 I see it differently, though. I see the church as historically having backed out of portions of her calling. The government responds to needs - it doesn't invent poor and homeless and widows and orphans so that it gains control over an area. I fear that (at least in the US) Christians are more hopeful that morality will be legislated so that they feel more at ease living in their government. |
