Mike,
I only Study the Christian Scriptures and have not spent any time in the book written by Joseph Smith or any other man. Sorry, I can’t help you on that front.

J.R.,

Are you aware of chiastic structures found in the Book of Mormon?

HI David,
Thanks for stopping in. I have not looked into John 1, but anytime I teach through a passage I look for evidence of chiastic structures.
God bless in your study.

I Broter wandering if you looked at John 1 as this is a good construction. Believe it or not I found this quite by accident on Logos(yes I followed the link) because of not being satisfied with our explanation of Acts 2:38 and baptismeal regeneration. Learned of this Hebrew construction and definetley interested in learning this. Fortunately this did not work in Acts 2. To my benefit I started looking at many commentaries to see if there was one who gave good explanations and found one by Mills which I would think is a bit more inductive. The biggest point he made in his commentary is one of the things I absolutely was taught first in bible study-context! He went to Acts 1 to show a certain trgiving of the great commission or as most understand reported by Luke a second time and hits on Spirit baptism as this answers(to me at least) Acts 2:38 and Mark on his version.

Sorry, did not mean to go so deep in depth but when seeing someone actually knowing of chiastic constructions and still alive is a good thing and excites me.

Hey, man, just stopped by your site while looking up chiasms on the interwebz. Great job and wonderful way to give an overview.

Keep up the good work. I’m planning on looking around your site a bit more as it looks quite interesting.

[...] 5:1-11 is presented by Paul in a Chiastic structure (read here for more on chiasm in the Scripture). In short, a Chiasm is way of presenting information so that the emphasis is on the middle of the [...]

HI Billy, nice to hear from you on my blog. My favorite passage is the story of the prodigal son. You can watch me teach on this passage and then you will know why.

Hi – I don’t comment on many blogs but had to on yours. It’s really nice! I really like how you write – very to the point. Thanks for having this site. I don’t have time to read all the information you have right now, I found this site when looking for something else on Yahoo, but I’ve bookmarked your homepage and will check back soon to see the latest articles. I always enjoy reading on the web about religion. Do you have any particular biblical study guides? I’m looking for one to start reading, I just finished one and need a new one to read. I have a web site with daily Bible readings on it. Please bookmark it – it as at http://www.GotTB.com. Do you have a favorite Bible passage or story? I would not even know where to being the processing of picking just one. God’s Peace!
