Is man born in God's image, or was that just Adam? @Mike: And a demon-possessed person still has a likeness to God. They still have a spirit, they still have the ability to create, etc. Demon possession is not a good thing, but it does not have the power to rob the likeness of God from a person. |

Is man born in God's image, or was that just Adam? @Mike: I don't believe demon possession robs someone of God's image, and I've never heard anyone, including many of my close Reformed friends, make that claim, either. |

Is man born in God's image, or was that just Adam? @Mike: I don't see how this answer addresses 'physical charactaristics' at all... it talks about creativity, morality, mentality, etc... what are you talking about? |

Why are there so many translations of the Bible? @TRiG: Have a source? |

Theory of Evolution and Creation? @Narnian: Whether evolution is observable or provable is irrelevant to the validity of Marc's claim. It is a fact that "the vast majority of experts" do agree with evolution. You can't fault Marc for that. If you want to accuse 95% of the scientific population of being wrong, you have that right (95% of the "science" experts have been wrong before... on multiple occasions). But this is not a reason to discredit Marc's answer, or to debate the evidence for or against evolution here. |

What is the history of the concept of a “personal relationship with Jesus”? @BenDunlap: That sounds more like complete servitude. That could include a personal relationship, but one can be completely submissive and conformed to another's will without ever having even met them. |

What is the history of the concept of a “personal relationship with Jesus”? @BenDunlap: Yes, I would be interested in hearing about that. |

Is Cain saved or he will go into the eternal perdition? @brilliant: Well seeking answers "from all possible positions" is not generally a good way to get good answers. But good luck. |

Is Cain saved or he will go into the eternal perdition? @brilliant: The problem is that it doesn't make a "good, focused question." See here. |

Is Cain saved or he will go into the eternal perdition? I think your definition of "main stream" is still WAAAY to broad, as it can still contain universalists (who would say that of course Cain will be saved, because everyone will), as well as the polar opposites, like Amish, who say they have no way of knowing who will be in Heaven, or if indeed even anyone will make it there. |

Why did God make the “Forbidden Fruit” available in Eden? I assume you're seeking answers from people who believe in a literal tree of knowledge? Or are you willing to accept answers from the view that the narrative of the Fall is not meant to be taken literally? |

The soul's progression through purgatory What kind of answer(s) are you hoping for? A list of Christian stories about passing through purgatory and/or hell? If so, it sounds like a list question and should probably be closed. |

Are Catholics like pagans, in Evangelical vision? At best, that might be appropriate for the NAE membership--although that's a stretch, too, IMO. But clearly that doesn't apply to all evangelicals. |

Are Catholics like pagans, in Evangelical vision? I know many Evangelicals (mostly Mexicans) who consider Catholics to be pagans (and many Mexican Catholics who consider "Christians" to be cult-followers). So I don't believe such an adamant statement to the contrary is really an accurate representation of "Evangelicals" as a whole. Certainly it's fair to say of some Evangelicals, however. |

When and how did men and women start sitting together in church? In some modern churches, men and women still don't sit together. I guess I've always had the opposite question: How did segregation start? :) |

Are Catholics like pagans, in Evangelical vision? In my experience, the answer to this question depends a lot on where you are. In Mexico, for instance, Catholics are generally considered non-Christians (even by the Catholics!), whereas in the U.S., Catholics and Evangelicals generally are much more inclusive of each other. |

Nature of salvation in the Old Testament When things of substance need editing, I am happy to edit them. When it's only minor things that need editing, consider that a compliment. SE is wiki-esque for a reason. |

On what grounds does the Catholic church reject sacraments of protestant denominations? This seems to explain why protestants are more relaxed, or have "lower standards." It doesn't directly address the question of why Catholics reject protestant sacraments. The answer to that I can see hinted at here, but mostly by inference. |

Is communion service at the rail vs. in the pews a function of denomination or church size? Just a side note, these are far from the only two methods of communion dispersal practiced in modern churches. |

Why does Judaism celebrate Sabbath on Saturday and most Christians celebrate Sabbath on Sunday? @Jay: "a Sabbath" is quite different from "the Sabbath." "The Sabbath" is, and always will be Saturday. A "Christian Sabbath," by many interpretations, can be any given day of the week. By others, as you mentioned, Sunday, and by yet others, always Saturday (7th Day Adventists, etc). |
