Aug 29	comment	Should the KJV translation be taken less literally than other versions @Tyler Gillies: My opinion is that references are not necessary, but helpful. They demonstrate that you have done research into your question before asking it, and therefore will reduce the chances of it being closed.
Aug 29	comment	Eternal existence in hell? Ah, indeed... the titles are deceptively similar. I can't think how to suggest retitling to make it more clear without making it an annoyingly long title. I did add a tag, though...
Aug 29	comment	Should the KJV translation be taken less literally than other versions Portions of the KJV were translated from the Latin Vulgate (or at least influenced by it), also according to Wikipedia. I, like @Waggers, also think it's a valid question, it would just be better with references.
Aug 29	comment	Eternal existence in hell? possible duplicate of Is Hell eternal, or do some/all escape it?
Aug 28	comment	Is Christianity continuing to grow worldwide? @a_hardin: Those two questions probably have the same answer.
Aug 28	comment	What is the basis of my fractured understanding of “Sola Scriptura”? @Peter Turner: I'm not sure I completely agree... Having a title that doesn't match the actual question makes searching harder. Then again, I don't know what the best course of action is.
Aug 28	comment	Is it wrong to consume alcohol? @Richard: I think it's clear to anyone who has ever consumed alcohol that consuming alcohol is not the same as becoming "tipsy."
Aug 27	comment	Is it wrong to consume alcohol? @tjameson: I don't understand what you're asking.
Aug 27	comment	Is it wrong to consume alcohol? @Jeff: Proving a negative in a narrow context (such as "All verses in the Bible") is not so difficult.
Aug 27	comment	What can we do to grow closer to God? I would love for this question to be on topic, but it seems incredibly broad, for a number of reasons. It seems akin to asking "How can I be healthy?" on Fitness.SE. I believe it is far too broad to be useful as it is, and will likely solicit "lists" (which are off topic), and it will be impossible to select a "correct answer".
Aug 27	comment	Is Political Correctness showing shame for our God? And my answer is "No, I would not be offended."
Aug 27	comment	Is Political Correctness showing shame for our God? That's exactly my point :) Nobody is forced to celebrate... so the analogy of a Jewish-controlled society is irrelevant to this discussion.
Aug 27	comment	Is Political Correctness showing shame for our God? I don't think Jews practicing their Jewish holidays, or wishing that I (a Christian) have a "Happy Hanukkah" is at all offensive. Now, if they tried to force me to observe their holidays, and refused me the right to observe mine, that would be a separate issue, but not really related to political correctness.
Aug 27	comment	Book recommendation for study of Revelation @Caleb: They aren't on other SE sites. But if we want to make them OT here, we can certainly make that decision.
Aug 27	comment	What is the specific meaning of “day” in Genesis 1? @dleyva: I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. CLEARLY many people interpret that verse otherwise, so CLEARLY it cannot be only interpreted that way. Your opinion that it's best interpreted that way may be valid, and may even be correct. But it is not the only interpretation.
Aug 27	comment	What is the origin of “Jesus H Christ”? Certainly not, but on SE sites, when there is an overlap, the one with the closer association with the question is usually the more appropriate place to ask it. Now if your question was "Is the name Jesus H Christ found in the Bible?" then this would be the better site for it.
Aug 27	comment	What is the origin of “Jesus H Christ”? The same way asking about the origin of phrases like "Hot d*mn," "Gosh," and "Golly-Gee" would be off topic. That is a language discussion, and really has nothing (or at best, very little) to do with Christianity.
Aug 27	comment	What is the origin of “Jesus H Christ”? This question is probably off topic here, but at any rate, it has already been answered elsewhere. english.stackexchange.com/questions/25716/who-is-jesus-h-christ
Aug 27	comment	What does the Bible say about “bad” words? @dancek: I have many friends who speak Spanish as a first language, and say the same about English "bad words." I also feel the same way about Spanish "bad words" (which are, to my knowledge, all contextual).
Aug 26	comment	What is the specific meaning of “day” in Genesis 1? To say that it can "only" be interpreted that way is obviously incorrect, as many people interpret it differently.
