Why is freemasonry considered by many evangelicals to be incompatible with Christianity? While a great answer, I would like to point out an issue: "Any attempt to say that the God of the Bible is the same as [...] Allah, is blasphemy" is not really true. "Allah" is just the Arabic word for God, just as "Gott" is the German word for God. Arabic-speaking Christians also use this same word to refer to God. |

What is the difference between Protestantism and Evangelicalism? In Continental Europe, Evangelical is actually a synonym for Lutheran. And it begun much earlier than 1730. |

Did Jesus die on the cross or on the tree? Isn't it more of a translation problem? I know of at least one language where the same word is used for "tree" and for "wood". It that language, it does not raise such problems. Maybe we should ask someone who knows Hebrew and ancient Greek. |

Can I believe in evolution and still be a Christian? "But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day." |

Are there any Christian denominations that don't believe Jesus is the only way to salvation? I distinctly remember a quote from Luther (my memories might be incorrect) that says that once you get to know about Jesus (and understand, of course) then Jesus is the only way, but some of those people who have never heard about Him might still be saved, based on their conscience. |

Is ex-nihilo creationism irreconcilable with the concept of individual free will? @amcnabb: Not necessarily. A lot of Christians agree that the Big Bang could have happened, it just was set in motion by God, but this fact does not have any connection to the presence or absence of free will. |

Will (or “do”) people in heaven get to interact with Jesus, independent of massive crowds? The question seems to assume Heaven will have the same physical structure as our currently known Universe. Maybe Heaven has more than 3 dimensions of space and more than one dimension of time, however incomprehensible this is for us now? |

An open atheist's fate in the middle ages in Europe +1 for "It is unlikely that you would have been publicly executed - you just would have been so weird that nobody else would have wanted anything to do with you." The role of the Inquisition was to stop those people who would threaten the whole social order, and who were deemed very dangerous (for example, some heresies could be started with the intent of gaining political power). I am in no way defending their methods, I just state that contrary to modern popular beliefs, the Inquisition was not an Orwellian police state watching over your every though and every word. |

What effect did the Reformation have inside the Catholic Church? @Peter Turner: the general behavior of the Catholic Church today is more similar to Protestantism than it is to the Catholic Church before the reformation, considering all the selling salvation for money gambits a lot of priests professed, which was either supported or at least tolerated by their superiors. You can't say that protestantism is nearly dead, as there are significant parts of the world where the majority of Christians are Protestant and not Catholic. |

What is a Christian's justification for a legal prohibition of homosexual marriage? I think voters should vote on how well it answers the question (the question was "what is a Christian's justification") and NOT whether they personally agree with it or not. I don't agree with some if this answer, but it's still a justification believed by a lot of people. Let's not turn this into a vote war. |
