I frankly don't see what advantage there is to the LSB over the NASB95. I like the NASB for its literalness, but the deal-clincher is that it has marginal notes that amp up the literalness even more. For instance, while the NASB and the LSB both have "lights" in Gen. 1:14, the NASB has "luminaries" in the margin, which i much prefer simply because it

[quote user="John Schneider"]Deu 29:29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law."[/quote] I have encountered many folks who quote this verse, usually in support of YHWH's employment and (so to speak) enforcement of "mystery". I usually reply

[quote user="MJ. Smith"] [quote user="David Paul"]I prefer the theology of paradox..[/quote] Which I associate with Henri de Lubac but under the name both/and ... [/quote] I would suggest it is the combination of both either/or & both/and. At times, one might apply either/or to "answer or don't answer"; other times, potentially both/and. It depends

[quote user="MJ. Smith"]your post is theological[/quote] Oh, I suppose, marginally so, but that wasn't really my intention. I was just trying to answer Denise's query, the reply provided being inevitably based on Scriptural understanding. I was also trying to provide perspective in light of your query as well. Again, paradox-driven here, so I often

[quote user="MJ. Smith"]Precisely why some theologies are either/or while others are both/and.[/quote] I prefer the theology of paradox...sometimes "yes" and sometimes "no", i.e. it all depends - per Prov. 26:4, 5.

[quote user="Olli-Pekka Ylisuutari"] it is true that of Himself God does not do evil things but uses instrumental means . [/quote] This sounds like someone saying, "I didn't kill him; the gun killed him." In other words, "I'm not culpable...the instrument I used is culpable."

[quote user="DMB"] [quote user="David Paul"]Also, the oral law is prima facie contrary to Deut. 4:2 and Deut. 12:32 . [/quote] Not disagreeing with your points. But 'the gates' (presumed a walled city, but anyway, where justice was exercised by the elders) would require something on the order of a 'talmud' ... in the same way 'doctrine' has to fill

I think the conclusion of oral torah being "of man" is best sourced from the rabbinic explanation regarding where their authority comes from. I've discussed this in the past here, so I will just give a Cliff's Notes version. The Talmud says that "as it is written" people should "follow after a multitude" in matters concerning the law. The word "multitude

[quote user="MJ. Smith"] I assume you have Andersen, Francis I., and A. Dean Forbes. Spelling in the Hebrew Bible: Dahood Memorial Lecture. Rome: Biblical Institute Press, 1986.

My original subject title for this post was "Why two different searches for apparently same word?" I actually answered that question in the process of creating the pics below (click them if they're blurry), but I now wish to answer the question in the current title. When I did a search on "ingathering" in Exo. 23:16NASB... ... ...which yielded this

I'm finally pushing through Barr's The Semantics of Biblical Hebrew . I've started it a few times but never stuck it out. Ironic, since I'm pretty sure I'm the one who first asked for it to be added to Logos. Anyway, there is a citation that he frequently mentions, Theological Wordbook of the New Testament (TWNT). In the Abbreviations section, it is

[quote user="mab"] For the time being I have this in my browser and I am going to see about making a link in L9 https://read.lsbible.org/ [/quote] Surprised to see Lockman listed at the bottom of the page. I thought this was a Masters Seminary project.

The Scripture & Hermeneutics series looks pretty interesting. Would like to see it in Logos.

Lol...this "belief" sounds like the thesis of a dissertation or the equivalent. Kudos Graham for having the ear/eye for searching this. Almost makes me wonder if the OP is chumming the water? How does one come to "believe" something that is so ivory tower confabulated and not know where the idea came from?

I first complained about this problem months ago--almost a year ago. This post is based on the Mobile platform, but I'm pretty sure the same issue exists in the desktop version. As the pic below shows clearly, text typed in a note is one size while text pasted in from any Logos resource is 1-3 font sizes larger. This is ridiculous. PLEASE make whatever

It's quite common for pronouns to get switched up in some parts of Scripture, particularly in the prophets and psalms. The examples you gave demonstrate the concept, but as Dave pointed out, it is hard to look just at an English translation to confirm an actual example. Better to consult the OLs. I don't have any examples committed to memory, but I
