Hello, Just for some background, I was raised in an evangelical non-denom (aka, baptists who don't wanna be called that) church while attending a Lutheran school up until 4th grade. I was baptized in third grade, after I had made a profession of faith. Around late high-school I began to...

I've now entering my third year of Hebrew study, and just had a few questions for anyone who reads Hebrew regularly... How often do you read? How much (material) at a time? How long do you typically read for? How fast can you typically read? On a related note... How often do you have to...

Hello, I was wondering if anybody would have any guidance at pursuing graduate education? I am extremely aware of the pitfalls/dangers of pursuing a PhD/grad school these days. Little-to-no job opportunities, huge price to pay with time and money, etc... But at this point in my life...

(As I ask this question I am using a computer where I haven't installed Hebrew yet, and I do not have my Hebrew Bible at hand, so please excuse my lack of specificity) So in Genesis 22 when it talks about God 'providing' (in most English translations) a ram, and the place being called 'YHWH...

Hello, I have now studied hebrew formally for about a year and a half now. My first year was studying grammar and this last semester has been focused not so much on reading/grammar so much as it has been on exegesis in-general (including genre analysis, text criticism, etc...) I have so...

Hello, I just recently finished my first year of Hebrew Grammar and will be moving on to Hebrew Exegesis in the Fall. After unpacking when I got home from school I realized I had made a grave mistake.... I misplaced my Hebrew Grammar book. I had planned on doing a speedy review, reading a...

Hello, so I've been here for quite a while but haven't really posted much here in a while (particularly on this board). It just dawned on me that pretty soon I will no longer be able to post here. :( So just thought I'd create this thread for people just to talk about whatever. Vent about...

hello, I was wandering if anyone knew how it is possible to type Hebrew with masoretic pointing? I currently have the ability to type normal modern Hebrew (אבדג) but I was wandering if it was possible to type with masoretic pointing? Thanks!

Hello, I'm currently in my second semester of Biblical Hebrew and I absolutely love it. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good supplemental lessons or exercises for beginners? My vocab is at a couple hundred words or so and I'm currently learning the 6 common stems other than Qal (niphal...

http://biologos.org/uploads/projects/Keller_white_paper.pdf I would love to hear other's thoughts.

So, I just recently got back from a graduation party where I was talking about how much I loved the movie "Dead Poet's Society" and a friend of mine very authoritatively began to tell us all about how he hated that movie and how it had no redeeming quality because it's theme was simply "carpe...

lol, I have no idea why I'm posting this in GT I could get a talking point at the end. But there's this girl I've been mildly interested in who is Lutheran. Turns out her father is like one of the head Lutheran pastors in the area and she is only allowed to date Lutherans... =( I mean...

Or I guess it might be more helpful to explain my own views and have someone tell me whether I am an old earth creationist or a theistic evolutionist. I believe that the earth is around 4.5 billion years old That evolution and natural selection (guided/ordained by God) is responsible for...

I'm very curious to see the proportion of OEC's to YEC's here.

the Heat beat the Bulls. why would God let this happen?

I'm particularly interested in non-protestant preaching. What exactly does it look like? Like... how long is, how is it done... etc. Just curious.

Do people think that these are binding to believers simply because they're the 'big ten'? I don't get that... They're a part of the Mosaic law, which most of us agree was fulfilled in Christ. We aren't a part of the Mosaic covenant... And if you disagree with me I hope you're consistent at...

haha, ya weird really, I used to be very staunch about YECism... it wasn't necessarily the scientific evidence, but just the fact that i don't see Genesis 1 as teaching that. My thing is that I don't see the point of Genesis 1 to be telling us that 'God literally did this process in...

Why is creativity never listed with the other attributes of God? like... I haven't seen it in one systematic theology or any lists.... But the way I see it, creativity is one of the most clearly and regularly taught attributes of God in the Bible? Just curious to know why people think...

Why is creativity never listed among the attributes of God? I'm teaching through the attributes of God on Sunday morning at my church and I'm teaching Creativity this week but I've never seen it listed in a systematic theology. I'm curious to know why it isn't typically listed along with...
