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 |

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). |

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. |

Can Christianity be objectively defined? I think the content here is good, but not directly relevant to the definition of "Christian." I think the basic argument you're making is that many will be saved, regardless of titles. But the question is asking about titles. |

Is abortion okay if it is medically necessary? I would change your first bullet point to "not believe that God knows what's best"--God may use the death of the mother and/or child for His glory. |

Can Christianity be objectively defined? Devil's advocate (no pun intended): Satan sought to encounter Christ (for the purpose of harming him). Does that make Satan a Christian by this definition? |

Can Christianity be objectively defined? @Caleb: You may have a point, but I think to answer the question constructively beyond what Meta already says, it needs to be more narrowly defined. "How does X tradition define Christianity?" for instance. |

Which cup of wine did Jesus tell his disciples to drink during the Last Supper? What is "the third cup," "the cup of Elijah", or any of the other cups? |

How can one overcome lustful desires? I didn't vote to close, but I think "desires of the flesh" is way too broad, and I would vote to close as "Not a real question." It seems you are asking specifically about lust; I would suggest retitling to make it clear that's all you're asking about. As it is, it looks like you're asking about all desires of the flesh (wealth, comfort, etc), and using lust as an example. |

The voice of God vs the voice of Satan Lucifer was the most beautiful angel, before he rebelled. Therefore, I imagine he has a beautiful voice, too. :) |

What traditions believe that a woman's relationship with God must go through some man and how do they support it from the Bible? If you consider Jesus Christ a qualified "man," then I would agree with this statement. :) |

Did Jesus spend time in Hell between the crucifixion and resurrection? @Geoffrey Van Wyk: Uhhh... I Cor 15:6 Says he appeared to "more than 500" people. |

When people sin against us but don't repent, should we forgive and forget? @DJClayworth: If adding scripture references that I use to back up my opinion would improve the answer in your mind, I would buy that. However, then the Hank Hanegraaff article I referenced is lacking in the same regard, as well. |

When people sin against us but don't repent, should we forgive and forget? @DJClayworth: I don't mean this to suggest that my opinion is especially valid, but why are the opinions of scholars or teachers more valid than the opinions of those who post on this forum? And who's to say someone who posts here isn't a scholar or teacher? (Note: I make no claim to be a Bible scholar or teacher). IOW, I think you need a better criteria than "scholar/teacher" or "not the poster's own opinion." |

When people sin against us but don't repent, should we forgive and forget? @DJClayworth: Most/all Biblical interpretation is "personal theory." How would you suggest I change my answer to make it more acceptable to you? |

How do you “Convert” somebody to Christianity? I would suggestion retitling the question to "How do I share my faith with others?" or "How do I evangelize?" Conversion itself, I think most (although likely not all) Christians will say is something that no human can "do" to another human--it is between the Holy Spirit and the one being converted. |

Did Jesus spend time in Hell between the crucifixion and resurrection? I'm not sure I buy the argument that his earthly ministry was finished, because he came back for another several weeks. Also, many say that your I Cor. reference means that resurrection was proof of his redemptive work, not necessarily completion of his redemptive work. |

Are there multiple levels to Heaven? @styfle: My personal view is that it certainly does not mean multiple levels of heaven, and that it does not necessarily even mean different degrees of reward. The point of my answer was more to explain one common view. |

Are there multiple levels to Heaven? Can you provide scripture references for these views? |
