So… in case you missed it, I moved from Tumblr to my Wordpress-based site: http://cookieofdoom.com
I may still occasionally post on here, and I’ll still use Tumblr to follow some people. Most of my writing, though, will be done on the new site. It’s worth noting, too, that I’m blogging on there a lot more often than I ever did on here.
Seeya around, Tumblr!
Recently, the issue of semantics seems to have been popping up all over the place. This seems to be due to the fact that we rarely define the terms we use. Often, we don’t have to: word meaning is generally understood rather universally. The issue comes up when a word is not understood in the same way; people will often—with little to no reason for it—insist that their definition is the correct one and all others are wrong. This post is written in an attempt to clear up some confusion and, perhaps, make some conversations more productive.
I’ve decided to post a bunch of my papers related to theology and the Bible after submitting them for anyone who might find them helpful (I’m thinking mostly Sr. Highers). The format is a bit odd since it was enforced.
Text: Joshua 5:13–14
Title: “Now I Have Come”
Interpretive summary: Joshua has been confirmed by Yahweh as the leader of the Canaanite conquest; he’s led Israel across the Jordan (ch. 3) and they are now encamped at Gilgal, soon to invade Jericho (5:10). Joshua now requests orders from an unexpected visitor who identifies himself as the commander of armies of Yahweh.
