1d	comment	How to know whether God truly spoke to you? The actual question in the title is a great question to ask (not sure if it has been asked here before). As it stands though I agree with @AffableGeek and therefore my VTC.
May 6	comment	What does the curse on the serpent mean? I have heard this taught in a number of Anglican churches in Sydney Australia, although I would have assumed the "he" (as in he will crush your head) is the reference to Jesus, not the 'enmity'
Apr 19	comment	Is Latin considered a more holy language in the Catholic church? Thanks Peter. Are Catholics expected to know Latin to understand what is being heard in the service, or is it just that it sounds beautiful that it should be done? I understand your point about it being the official language of the church but I'm still confused on why Roman Catholics who don't understand what is being said would sit through Mass in Latin
Apr 17	comment	What Bible verses support infant baptism? @Ries: Your first comment (which I agree with) says that you don't know the faith of the rest of the household who were baptised. So by that argument you can possibly baptise non-believing adults but not infants?
Apr 16	comment	What's the point of the second commandment? Not a complete answer, but I would argue that Jesus says all of the law is summed up in Love the Lord Your God and Love your Neighbour as yourself. The rest of the law comes from these. Why is any of it necessary? Because the law convicts us of our sin - it shows clearly what we are doing wrong.
Apr 11	comment	What Bible verses support infant baptism? @Ries I agree that Acts 16 and 18 doesn't say there are kids (I think there were but it doesn't say) but it also doesn't say if everyone in his household believed, YET the whole household was baptised.
Apr 9	comment	Have different Popes ever contradicted each other? @Warren - understand that and that is why the question was purely about when they speak infallibly.
Mar 27	comment	What is significant about the title of “Son of David” that was attributed to Jesus? 2 Tim 2:8-9, Paul says "Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained." The two most important things that Paul tells Timothy is that Jesus is raised from the dead and descended from David. Must be important!
Mar 19	comment	What is the “Way of the Cross”? Thanks. Is it a formal service (I.e. everyone going together from plaque to plaque with a leader) or is it a personal journey (i.e. individually you go from plaque to plaque moving when you are ready to)?
Mar 7	comment	How do Protestants interpret Matthew 16:13-20 I agree with @AJHenderson. Most protestants would not argue against Peter having a special role (just read Acts). But there is no continuing liniage setup here - it's just one man and that one mans job
Mar 6	comment	What is the “eschatological tension” This seems to fit with the thrust of the sermon. Knowing that we are going to a perfect place makes us see how fallen this world is. We are already perfected in Christ, yet we continue to sin.
Mar 6	comment	What is the “eschatological tension” @DavidStratton. Sorry, I don't remember who it was.
Mar 6	comment	Is Jesus truly God? I think I see where you are coming from @Alypius. Could a clearer question be something like "Does anyone in the bible other than Jesus say that Jesus is God"?
Mar 6	comment	What is the “eschatological tension” I can't remember the exact sentance. It was something like "this feeling is the eschatological tension". He was talking about how we are a part of a new perfect creation - yet looking around us the world is not perfect.
Mar 5	comment	Ruling on eating pork in Christianity as per Bible? Welcome to C.SE. This would be a great comment to the answer that suggests that Acts 10 doesn't declare all food clean (I tend to agree with your argument), but you don't actually answer the original question of can you eat pork. When you get a chance, check out the FAQ for what makes a good answer: christianity.stackexchange.com/faq
Mar 4	comment	Is any reason given for God choosing Abraham? I'd prefer answers from the bible, but will accept Jewish or a Christian's churches teaching. The answer may also be that nobody knows.
Mar 4	comment	Which are some of the Non Trinitarian sects in Christianity I kind of agree with @JonEricson. There could be multiple answers that are all correct. This would be a better entry for a wiki than for a Q&A site.
Mar 1	comment	Word of Faith perspective of Jesus as the Logos This is at least the 2nd time you've posted this and I still don't see what your question is. Also, what is the point of saying that certain people can't answer your question? Asking for an answer from a certain view is fine and answers will need to come from that view, but anyone can answer your question
Mar 1	comment	Why did Jesus not write any scripture himself? I don't have a proven answer, but I do wonder if it is so that we don't try to venerate what he says, rather focus on what he does. I have similar thoughts as to why we may not have original copies of the books of the bible - if we did would we "worship" these original texts instead of read them and worship God?
Feb 22	comment	Baptising someone without consent As a protestant myself, I tend to agree with your view, but I don't think this is the catholic church's position.
