Supernatural beings in the Bible? @ThePiachu Yes, but this is a site about Christianity from the Christian perspective. However, there is so much more real evidence for Christianity than for any other religion that it is legitimate to start from that perspective anyway. The Bible certainly claims to be from God, and there is ample evidence to support that. (This would be another good question for this site). |

Supernatural beings in the Bible? @Flimzy Yes, the Bible indicates that at times they are visible within the physical universe. They would certainly be bound by time, since they are created beings. |

Supernatural beings in the Bible? @ThePiachu You are presuming that the Bible has its origin with men rather than God. The Bible does not present itself that way. 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20, Psalm 119. That idea is only one option. The other option is that there really is a God and that witches really are messing with demonic powers. Just claiming that the Bible has its origin with men and not God certainly does not make it so in the least bit. |

Why is it that God the Father is alone capitalised in the third person? I capitalize pronouns referring to each Person of the Trinity. |

Can we know anything about Jesus' appearance from the Bible? There was once a boy who was drawing a picture in Sunday School class. The teacher asked him what he was drawing, and he said it was a picture of Jesus. Recognizing the teachable moment, the teacher told the boy that no one knew what Jesus looked like. The boy replied, "Yes, but they will once I'm finished!" |

Supernatural beings in the Bible? @MarcGravell Many witches don't find out what they are messing with until they've been in it for quite a while. |

Names of angels and fallen angels? One of my favorite verses... |

Names of angels and fallen angels? +1 Lucifer really isn't a name. It's a Latin word that was transliterated rather than translated, so that's doesn't appear to be an actual name. |

Where did Noah find polar bears and penguins in Palestine? @MarcGravell Yet, to say that it can't possibly happen is a bit of a stretch. |

Where did Noah find polar bears and penguins in Palestine? @MarcGravell The 1.5-2.5 million year guess is not supported by history. |

Giving to the church or giving to the poor? @DavidStratton Thanks... admittedly, I didn't get through your entire answer initially... +1 for your answer, too. |

Why are there inconsistencies in the New Testament? It would be better to ask about each perceived inconsistency separately. There are really good explanations for all of these, but an answer that encompasses that would be quite long. |

Is/will there be time in heaven? @Flimzy It is possible that they do, but the Bible records people seeing them at various times in history. Either God allows men to see things that are invisible or angels are merely hidden from us most of the time. |

How did the world get populated according to Bible? @vsz Yes, Genesis is open to a wide variety of interpretations. This answer comes from the perspective of a literal interpretation. Each of your questions can be asked (and many have been) on this site. |

How did the world get populated according to Bible? @VijinPaulraj Yes, Adam was married to Eve, but Adam's sons had to be married to their sisters. This issue is addressed elsewhere on this site. Basically, the command not to marry a close relative did not exist until many centuries later, and it was likely added to account for the genetic deterioration that had arisen by then. It's probably only considered immoral due to this issue--more a practical necessity than anything deeper than that. |

John 8:6-8, Jesus writing Yeah, it's a disputed passage. Most manuscripts have it from what I've heard. |

John 8:6-8, Jesus writing Good catch. It's chapter 8. I updated it. |

According to the scripture, when and how is the world destroyed? Sorry... just referencing the Robert Frost poem. |

According to the scripture, when and how is the world destroyed? Some say fire. Some say ice... either will suffice. |
