Did Jesus know how to read and write? Of course he could. There is ample evidence in the Bible of general literacy. But he didn't "co-author the entire Bible" based on Hebrews 1:1-2. All that says is that God spoke to us through his Son, not about who wrote God's sayings down. I don't disagree with Jesus' literacy: I do disagree with your interpretation of those two verses. |

Did Jesus know how to read and write? No, I'm not. I am saying that he did not write much of the Bible himself. What he said was written down by others. |

Any philosphers arguing that the Christian worldview is the most rational? I'd love this to be answered, but I'm afraid that if you redefine rational then of course you can get any answer to fit the definition. Normally rational specifically excludes faith and emotion. You may need a different word, but I don't know what that would be. |

Was Islam originally considered to be a Christian sect? A little tidy-up with some capital letters etc |

Did Jesus know how to read and write? Your last sentence isn't right. Just because God has "spoken to us through his Son" doesn't mean that he didn't have an amanuensis (or several of them) to write down what was spoken. The sentence appears flippant, which is a pity. |

Can Catholics choose to be baptized by immersion? @Pavel Canon Law says "according to the order prescribed in the approved liturgical books" but rather than try to find those online, I took the CDF statement as meaning that they knew what was in them. |

Is the choice of a new Pope inspired by the Holy Spirit? @rvf0068 That would make a good question, if it hasn't been asked before. It is fairly easily explained, though. |

Is the choice of a new Pope inspired by the Holy Spirit? @DJClayworth Yes: it appears that some aspects of his governance were good; but it's unlikely that he should have had mistresses and children, or made a 17-year-old son an archbishop. |
