Aug 24	comment	Is the Wayseers Movement a Christian movement? @jrista: Wayseers isn't really a denomination, from what I gather. But maybe that tag is still appropriate?
Aug 24	comment	Is the Wayseers Movement a Christian movement? @John: Is it reasonable for us to come up with a concrete definition (or perhaps multiple definitions) of Christianity? Or is there a better/more specific way the question can be asked?
Aug 24	comment	Is the Wayseers Movement a Christian movement? Please offer better tagging suggestions!
Aug 24	comment	What evidence exists for post-Biblical miracles? In court, evidence does not have to be reproducible--just presented by a sufficient number of trust-worthy witnesses.
Aug 24	comment	Should we allow doctors or God to heal us? @Patrick: According to many, in modern times doctors don't really know what they are doing. :)
Aug 24	comment	Should we allow doctors or God to heal us? Christ never criticized Luke's profession, that we know of... If Christ thought doctors were not to be trusted, He surely had plenty of opportunity to tell us that.
Aug 24	comment	Are there any documented instances of anyone moving a mountain in faith? If you take a metaphorical view of Jesus' words, then many things could be considered "moving mountains" by faith--including building a business, overcoming racial prejudice, etc. I assume, however, you're asking if a literal mountain has ever been moved by faith?
Aug 24	comment	What is Baptism of the Holy Spirit? @Peter Turner: I think I'm asking in general terms. I know the phrases is found in scripture, in Acts and other places. I also know that many "charismatic" churches use the phrase. I'm curious what the phrase means in either context, and how the two uses are related or differ.
Aug 24	comment	What is Baptism of the Holy Spirit? Are you saying "receiving" the Holy Spirit synonymous to Baptism of the Holy Spirit? And is the order important? Can a person receive the Holy Spirit/be baptized by the Holy Spirit prior to their water baptism?
Aug 24	comment	What is the King James only movement? I'm a native (US) English speaker, and use the KJV only occasionally--usually when I want to quote something that sounds more poetic. For daily reading, I use NIV most often, because it requires less effort for me to understand it. I also use NVI (NIV equiv.) in Spanish, because the Reina-Valera translation is just as archaic as KJV is in English.
Aug 24	comment	What is the King James only movement? @pstrjds: There are many examples of people in the OT who did not live according to Hebrew law, but were considered "righteous" by the Biblical text. I'm not sure if this discredits your entire argument, but it at least means one of your points is not valid.
Aug 24	comment	Intelligent design - Creationism by a different name? There are also two important subsets of Old-Earth Creationists, those who believe in Theistic Evolution, and those who do not.
Aug 24	comment	Does the Bible give any rules for music? @Ray: Absolutely. I enjoy singing in church. My second paragraph is more a commentary on popular music than on worship music--although clearly worship music shouldn't have "unwholesome" lyrics, either!
Aug 24	comment	Intelligent design - Creationism by a different name? Your question assumes that Creationism denies the Big Bang or evolution, which is not accurate. Surely some creationists deny either or both of these, but clearly not all creationists deny both.
Aug 24	comment	Does the Bible give any rules for music? @Ray: Psalm 150 offers a list of musical instruments. I don't see any mention of musical style, in the sense of hymns vs contemporary worship, or country vs rap vs rock'n'roll. And I did not say anything against music with words. You need to read my answer again. I simply show that the Bible says that "no unwholesome talk" should come from our mouths. Many songs in popular culture are full of "unwholesome" lyrics, thus a Christian who takes this scripture to heart ought to avoid such music.
Aug 24	comment	When and why did the devil, or Satan, really emerge as a force in Christian belief? Satan is mentioned both directly and by reference throughout scripture. I'm not sure really what you're asking.
Aug 24	comment	Is murder allowed if God tells you to do it? @Mason Wheeler: Point well taken, and answer updated. Thank you.
Aug 23	comment	Can I believe in evolution and still be a Christian? -1. This answer doesn't address the issue of evolution at all. At best, it provides a little bit of discussion on old- versus young-universe creationism, but even among old-universe creationists there is debate over evolution or not.
Aug 23	comment	What is the basis of my fractured understanding of “Sola Scriptura”? @jrista: Fair enough. I have commented on the original question to ask for clarification... both questions (that in the title, and that in the description) are valid, but it should be clear which is being asked.
Aug 23	comment	What is the basis of my fractured understanding of “Sola Scriptura”? -1 Sola Scriptura is not about personal interpretation, it's about authority. The doctrine Sola Scriptura says that the Bible is the final and only authority on salvation. It does not prohibit, nor even discourage, consulting spiritual leaders or others for help in clarification.
