"The placement of this commentary by Beale is misleading. In the context of Beale’s article, it is clear that this quote refers to the rider in Revelation 6, not this rider in Revelation 19."

"In response to Gabrielle and Ivy's question I would answer that if we take the book of First Enoch as being real and inspired by God (which I most definitely do) then yes sirens are absolutely real, and they are also the source of the mythology behind sirens and mermaids."

"He seeks out the wisdom of all the ancients, and is concerned with prophecies; 2 he preserves the sayings of the famous and penetrates the subtleties of parables; 3 he seeks out the hidden meanings of proverbs and is at home with the obscurities of parables.

"Why is it so hard to find out what to eat as righteous? It’s a sin to eat demon food which is almost everything, so what do we eat to be on Gods menu?"

"What is meant by the statement "like a stone", is synonymous with what we see elsewhere in OT scripture described as having a hard heart, or the hardening of ones heart. The LXX paints a better context for this by describing the preceding condition of his heart in the statement "and the heart of Nab..."

"Come to think of it, Sirach 23 does bear a faint resemblance to parts of the Lord's prayer as well.
4 O Lord, Father and God of my life,
do not give me haughty eyes,
5 and remove evil desire from me."

"The Samaritan version is consistent with the dialogue in Genesis 18:23-25, where we see Abraham interviewing (a potential candidate for the position of) God, speaking to him not as an equal, but as a "greater than", with language like "Far be it from you!"."

"The Memra of the Lord is in the Targum Neofiti. I was say that that Targum is analogous to a Bible paraphrase. Meaning, the translator(s) didn’t merely translate the underlying Hebrew but also added their understanding or interpretation. One can say that they attempted to make the text even clearly..."

"1 Corinthians 2
7 But we speak God's wisdom, secret and HIDDEN, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the..."

"In 1 Enoch 21:6 does it literally mean ten thousand of what we measure years present time?"

"Hopefully you will find some of this knowledge helpful:
Elohim pr El-WhoIAm (Ex 3.14), not YHWH, was the Gen 1 creator. In Gen 2 "YHWH-Elohim" completes the pair, which together go by the name Adonai (Add an I). This is reflected in Ps 136 and Ps 22, which starts with Elohim, then YHWH is introduce..."

"I need to find out the meaning of this quote "Do not turn away from someone who is in need; rather, share everything with your brother, and do not say that it is your own. For if you are partners in what is imperishable, how much more so in perishable things!" (Didache 4:8)"

"What difference does it make if Paul used a quote from Menander's Thais in his letter to the Corinthian church. God gives knowledge and thoughts to all mankind, so why can't that knowledge and thought be used interchangeably? Why can't Paul quote Menander; besides it is a known fact, that Paul was e..."

"How could humans give birth to giants? Are you sure they weren't female and made babies with man?! That seems more scientifically probable."
