@ScottS I agree. We'll see what others think

@Davïd I wasn't totally making that up, but your way seems to be much preferred, so thanks for the revision. Looks like my error was propogated to Jas3.1's answer as well.

@Susan Thought you wouldn't mind - I did check fairly carefully before the edit! While -or (perhaps from sailor?) does come up, the far more common is -er, so thought that would be preferable for searches, etc.

@Davïd Yup.

@Susan I had looked at this one which gives much the same. Would like to pop in a little "answer", but it wouldn't be much more than my comment!

@Davïd You always start out thinking that.... ;-)

@Susan lol - and then ... it consumes much more time than I had intended! Btw - this is quite interesting on that text if you do that sort of thing.

@Susan It even addresses your question, IIRC.

@Davïd Thanks, I didn't think there was much of Tim Keller that I hadn't heard, but I don't recall it if I have. Will take a listen.

@Susan And strictly for the banter ;) (Not what I was expecting, actually, and interesting when US and British differentiated.) Right - work! Really!

@Davïd I feel you on it always taking more time than intended!

@Caleb - you awake?

@Davïd Sort of. Why?

@Caleb Could you take a quick look at most recent question on BH.SE main?

You'll understand!

@Caleb Fast work. Thanks!

@Davïd Thanks. I actually deleted your comment to since it was on the wrong track. They were suspended for a week over on C.SE, hence meta is not the right venue (at least not C.SE or BH meta, technically the main meta could be used but I didn't want to explain that. It wouldn't help them.

@Caleb Not to worry about the comment - that was just a holding measure until a mod could get to it.

@Caleb It was a bit rapidly constructed in any case. :) But it must be late where you are, but you're the only mod in the room just now. Give your previous interaction, I thought you would be interested.

@Davïd Ya, thanks. I wish I could think of something that would helf them, but given the amount of thelp they've been offered and refused I'm not hopeful.

@Caleb It seems optimism would be misplaced. =/ Thanks again.

meta.hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/441/… huh? reading the site, I am not seeing this

BH.SE confuses the heck out of me

maybe I am just dumb

@SabreTooth we welcome all perspectives, including Christian, but they all perspectives must show their work. Check this out, it will elaborate:

yes, I read that too... still not sure, the site seems to be a Christian site (am not Christian by the way).

However, I find the Bible to be a remarkable historical, cultural and even observational-scientific text

I have been reading the questions on the site, I see a bit of historical questions, a lot of cultural (inc linguistic) questions and almost no scientific questions - the 1st 2 are good signs, the 3rd not so much. But, I see in many answers considerable theology from a Christian perspective, including what seems like prosthelatising (sp?)
