Sophistry
Steve Gregg’s use of Scripture in these exchanges is sophistry, plain and simple.

Son, Son, Or Servant and Mark 1:11 Part 2
We come to the second possible source text of Mark 1:11
and looking at how Jesus fills the image of that source, or why that text is applied to Jesus in this pronouncement. Let us get Mark 1:11 NET
and also the Greek before us,
And a voice came from heaven: “You are my one dear Son; in you I take great delight.”–NET
καὶ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός ἐν σοὶ εὐδόκησα–Zhubert.com/
The second text is Psalm 2:7 LXX
which reads, διαγγέλλων τὸ πρόσταγμα κυρίου κύριος εἶπεν πρός με υἱός μου εἶ σύ ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε. (Psalm 2:7 NET
S (New English Translation Septuagint; see pg. 7) translates this passage as, “By proclaiming the Lord’s ordinance: The Lord said to me, ‘My son you are; today I have begotten you.’”). It is easy to see the parallel between Psalm 2:7
and Mark 1:11
. Yahweh tells the king–most likely David–that he is Yahweh’s son and that day Yahweh became his father. In Mark, the voice from heaven declares Jesus to be his beloved Son. Thus I want us to see how Jesus is the Son that Yahweh pronounces the Davidic king to be. To do so, we must look at Psalm 2
and then come back to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

Behind the Scenes of the Incredible Hulk
Here is a link to a short video about the upcoming movie, The Incredible Hulk. It is very interesting and I think I might like the take on the Hulk this movie has. It kind of feels at home with where Bruce Banner would be in the Marvel Universe if he were to break out of his current circumstances, namely he is in prison for World War Hulk and would thus be a fugitive.
