Would somebody else be willing to leave the "what this site is" comment on this answer on my question? I think it would probably sound better coming from someone other than the asker in this case:
The human physical eye does not perceive the LORD as sinful flesh must itself be separated from the presence of God by the limits the LORD Himself puts upon men, to not have wrath at sin go out from Him and consume the man.
However,the LORD (YHWH) is Spirit and he who worships Him must worship H...
@MonicaCellio "Welcome to Biblical Hermeneutics! Thanks for your answer. What we strive for here is for questions arising from the text and answers dealing with that text and related texts. This reads more like an answer from personal experience while we are looking for scholarly work. Can you revise?"
@MonicaCellio I also added "Also, the questioner has requested that the answers be from a Tanakh (Hebrew canon only) perspective." I wasn't sure if GEH would understand Tanakh but didn't want to step on your toes by calling it the Old Testament. Hebrew canon seemed like a good wording.
@FrankLuke not until 57 more questions get asked. (Tag badges require 100 questions in the tag.)
@FrankLuke but yeah, Hebrew had 100 (since I have that tag). Maybe it's counting your questions and not just your answers in the score? I think I've run into that before, but not sure.
@JonEricson I'm guessing we're too small -- it would stand out. But don't forget about that thing a week or two ago; I think it was Caleb who squashed it. (I was watching it unfold in real time in the morning, so you probably only saw the aftermath.)
@JonEricson fair enough. No, I wouldn't expect us to have a native sock ring; that would require an existing user (who's invested enough to care about the votes in the first place) to do that, and I don't think our users are like that. And, as I said, it would be fairly obvious, too. :-)
We all love Biblical Hermeneutics Stack Exchange, but there is a whole world of people out there who need answers to their questions and don't even know that this site exists. When they arrive from Google, what will their first impression be? Let's try to look at this site through the eyes of som...
@MonicaCellio I wonder how Mike would apply MAtthew 10:14 to this q/a place. "If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet." I have to conclude that he is just being vexatious now.
@FrankLuke thanks for the quote; next time he does this I may ask him abut it. With him I'm mostly just downvoting and moving on, as engaging him hasn't helped and he's clearly being willful in his beligerence, but since this was my question I felt I needed to respond.
Astute readers may have noticed that moderator extraordinare Jon Ericson has recently traded in his pro-tem jewelry for a spot on the Stack Exchange community team (and about 100 other diamonds, though I like to think his first was special :-) ).
While it's always nice to be able to say "local b...
