2d	comment	Is it possible the Biblical and scientific timelines for the age of the earth could link up? Related (and perhaps even a more direct answer to this question than the one linked as a dupe): christianity.stackexchange.com/q/642/20
May 9	comment	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.
May 9	comment	Why Christian Translator Translate Rhea as Neighbor? @JimThio: Of course it is. Read your dictionary.
May 9	comment	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.
May 9	comment	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.
May 7	comment	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. :)
May 7	comment	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?
May 4	comment	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.
May 4	comment	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.
May 4	comment	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.
May 4	comment	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.
May 4	comment	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.
May 4	comment	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.
May 4	comment	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.
May 4	comment	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."
Apr 28	comment	Does the word 'testament' in the titles OT and NT imply the death of the testator in both covenants? In the context of a will executable upon death, I have always heard it called "the last testament"; which would indicate that "testament" itself has no sense of finality to it.
Apr 19	comment	Why do OEC discount the literal interpretation of the book of Genesis? @fredsbend: I assure you, it has been very thoroughly thought-through, by many Bible scholars. As has the opposing view. The fact that I cannot describe all of that in detail here (due to scope and space limitations) does not mean it has not been thoroughly considered.
Apr 15	comment	Which groups of Christians hold signs about Jesus or Christianity in public, and why? @Daniel: Well I don't know about that either... however you want to word it.
Apr 15	comment	Which groups of Christians hold signs about Jesus or Christianity in public, and why? @Daniel: As my first sentence says, I know of no such official teaching or doctrine.
Mar 29	comment	What is a Christian's justification for a legal prohibition of homosexual marriage? The Catholic church already has a different definition of "marraige" than most governments, and most non-Catholic churches, leading to many marriages not being recognized by the Catholic church as valid (particularly marraiges to non-Catholics, or where one party is divorced, etc). Are you suggesting that Catholics should campaign to make these marriages illegal as well?
