Why Christian Translator Translate Rhea as Neighbor? Because a word can have multiple meanings. One meaning of "neighbor" is "comrade". Read a dictionary, and you will see that 'neighbor' does indeed mean precisely "fellow humans"; among other definitions. |

Why Christian Translator Translate Rhea as Neighbor? @JimThio: Of course it is. Read your dictionary. |

Why do biblical names vary in different languages? @JimThio: Every spoken languge has vowels. Written hebrew ommits them, leaving them up to guess work of sorts. |

Can God Change his mind? "but in all of those cases, it's speaking of an impending judgment from God." -- Really? What about Exodus 4, where God appears to change his mind, and agree to Moses' wishes to send Aaron? There's no impending judgment there. |

Do we know there are only three persons in the “Trinity”? My question is really about your point #3. Why are no other roles possible, and why is no third person/silent partner possible? "They would have nothing to do, which seems wrong" isn't sufficient without some Biblical evidence. :) |

Do we know there are only three persons in the “Trinity”? But does any of this preclude the option of a fourth (or fifth, or Nth) "silent partner" in the godhead? |

What happened to the two trees in the Garden of Eden? I assume you're asking for a YEC perspective, since many OECs, and all(?) theistic evolutionists would argue that neither tree ever literally existed. |

Why can't Jesus periodically visit Earth? I think that verse may be a good start. I'm not sure I buy the 'scandal' argument, though. And it's also personal conjecture, so probably doesn't really belong in an answer. |

Why can't Jesus periodically visit Earth? There are many who believe Jesus did periodically visit earth prior to his birth. I don't know if that really relates to your question though. I've never heard of any orthodox Christian groups claiming he periodically returns post-ascension. |

Praise people who kill A good answer should never begin with "My personal instinct is..." Answers here should be based on facts and official church/doctrinal teachings. |

If the Ten Commandments say “thou shalt not kill” how can a Christian fight in a war? @GregMcNulty: "this context is irrelevant" -- I guess that means you flunked Linguistics class. Context is everything in language. |

Genesis 9:7 fruitful and increase in number It's a reasonable question, except for your assertion that we struggle with food shortages. There is, and always has been, more than enough food to feed the entire world's population. There's only a problem of food distribution, brought on by political and economic factors. |

If rules in the Bible can change, shouldn't Bibles be arranged chronologically so we know which one is right? Those two stories are in chronological order. |

Why go to Church? I don't see how Matthew 6:5 says anything at all about going to church. How is standing in the synagogues and street corners, so that you may be seen by others as you pray, the same as going to church? At most, it's saying "don't go to church to look good." |
