Knowledge [of the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ] is better than any other form of wisdom or understanding. —John Owen, The Glory of Christ
The birthdate I entered is farcical, as I prefer not to identify myself in any way online, but the age is in the ballpark.

Why was Lot “let off the hook” for offering his daughters to be raped? @Flimzy But that supports my point. The only way he could read a passage like that and call Lot righteous was if he believed in an alien righteousness. |

Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe the 144 000 are from Israel? The question is about Jehovah's Witnesses. It is unclear whether your answer addresses that. |

Humankind divided up among the gods? I encourage you to revisit your post and clean it up for readability. Rather than asking forgiveness for errors, fix them---no one's angry at you, but it would improve the quality of your post! |

Will Christians be judged? This question may have a similar answer as the linked ones, but it is a different question. |

Can the Holy Spirit take control of a person completely? Your answer would be strengthened by some exegesis. |

From a Fundamentalist standpoint, what does the phrase “Inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God” mean? I want to second @DavidStratton's comment. I'm not sure what the purpose of the first sentence is; I think the answer would be even stronger without it. I suggest you make an edit. But +1. |

According to the Bible, what kind of debt, if any, is lawful? Long answers are only a problem when they are needlessly verbose (which this is not) or when the reader is not interested (which I am!). Otherwise, the detail is great—which is exactly the case in this informative and helpful answer. +1 |

According to the Bible, what kind of debt, if any, is lawful? @waxeagle What I'm interested in is a defence which explicitly and rigorously appeals to Scripture. I don't want to drill down on a particular denomination; I want it to be open to anyone who wants to take a shot at it. |

What are the practical applications of “two will become one flesh”? How is the child obviously one flesh? I think that is not obvious and needs more exposition. Are childless couples then not actually married? |

Are Jehovah's Witnesses allowed to marry outside the faith? Ma'am, the first part of your answer clearly addresses the question, but the rest wanders somewhat. It seems that you may have some knowledge of the subject, however. Could you edit it to be more to the point? |

Why the resurrection? @MasonWheeler Thanks. I didn't know that; that is helpful. |

Why the resurrection? @msh210 To confirm what Monika has said, saints is just the Anglicized Latin word for the Greek ἁγίοι, which is קְדֹשִׁים in Hebrew. This is how Paul addresses his letters; it is not denominationally tied! Sorry for using a word that caused confusion—I didn't anticipate that confusion. And if you ask a question on Christian site, you ought to expect the Tanakh to be interpreted Christologically. That is standard procedure. |

Why the resurrection? @MonikaMichael Thank you—exactly. |

Why the resurrection? @MonikaMichael The significance of the resurrection reaches far, far beyond beyond spending a little more time with his homies while on earth. This is an extremely good and important question. |

Why blame for Jesus's death Great answer. I was going to say something like this myself and then I saw that you already had. +1 |

New Testament terms for the people of God @DJClayworth Feel free to mark it for migration to BH.SE if you think that is the appropriate action (duplicate questions are of course discouraged and it is a little late in the game to simply delete this and re-ask on BH). |

New Testament terms for the people of God +1. The significance is that terminological emphasis is not irrelevant to doctrine. For example, if "saints" is a more frequent usage than "believers" in Paul's letters, that would indicate that he has a preference for denoting us by what God has done to us rather than our own belief. The implications of such an emphasis are ultimately another question, but for close students of the Bible terminological frequency questions can't be irrelevant. |

New Testament terms for the people of God @DJClayworth I am just hesitant to ask questions there that either aren't related to a specific passage or to hermeneutics principles. I got zapped for that before. |

Justification of Offertories according to the Regulative Principle of Worship @BenDunlap An answer as to choir-only singing generally is acceptable (but I do have a specific interest in the offertory question). |

Justification of Offertories according to the Regulative Principle of Worship Those who hold to the regulative principle (subscription to which is the basis of the question) usually look for clear and specific directions. This is too much of an extrapolation to be convincing to those who would hold vigorously to that principle, as the mentioned church would purport to do. "Why not...?" type arguments are not convincing to vigorous adherents to the principle. |
