I'm a born-again Christian, active member of the body of Christ, husband and father, and Bible teacher. I love to study Scripture, and firmly believe it is the only credible standard for truth.
Aside from my devotion to God, His people, and His word, I don't really have any loyalty to a particular doctrine or creed.

What is the Christian perspective on the description of God? I think this is a good question, I'm just not sure where to begin. I think the Protestant view would be "everything the Bible says about Him is true." It would be difficult to summarize that in a few paragraphs, though. |

Humankind divided up among the gods? The question seems to hinge on the interpretation of a Hebrew word. I would suggest migrating this to Hermeneutics.SE, where the hardcore exegetes and textual critics dwell. |

What is a Christian's justification for a legal prohibition of homosexual marriage? @willbeeler I think "Christian justification for legal prohibition" is clearly different than "legal justification for legal prohibition". The first would likely seek answers from the Bible, whereas the second would seek answers from law. Also, I didn't read the question as pertaining solely to legislation in America. |

What is a Christian's justification for a legal prohibition of homosexual marriage? I am having a really hard time seeing how this answers the question, "What is a Christian's justification...?" You do talk about Christians being motivated by fear... While that may be true in some cases, it is inaccurate to say a "Christian's justification" is "fear", although a non-Christian may enjoy labeling their motivation as such. In other words, no Christian would say "I justify it by... fear!" I'm very confused about how this received so many up-votes... it seems like mere opinion, has no references, and the claims are clearly disproven by other answers posted here. |

Does the Bible have any proof that Jesus Christ is the Only-begotten Son of God? @brilliant It sounds like Mike is saying that Jesus was always (eternally) the Son of God, but is referred to as "only begotten" because of the virgin birth. |

How did God's morality not change between OT and NT times? Although I strongly disagree with your answer, I did find it very interesting. Is this actually an official Catholic stance, or are you just saying that you, as a Catholic, see it this way? I would love to see a reference to catechism if possible. |

When were the angels created? This is a very interesting question. I am thinking we would need to start by determining whether the Bible even talks about the creation of angels. I am not sure whether the "Creation Week" includes the creation of things in "Heaven" (vs. "heavens"). Also, even if Job 38 does reference angels, I'm not sure it proves they were present at the beginning of the Creation Week; often the entire Creation Week is referred to as a single event ("the beginning", etc.) so God could have been "laying the foundations" throughout the Week. |

When were the angels created? Two questions: (1) How does the Devil tempting Adam and Eve prove that angels were created before man? Couldn't the creation and fall of angels have occurred between the creation of man and the fall of man? (2) Could you provide any references to the claim that the angels are frequently called 'sons of God'? (I recently read a paper by a theologian claiming angels are never referred to as 'sons of God'.) |
