comment Can the grace of God depart from a Christian?
The question reminds me of a self-fulfilling trap. One could ask, "Do I have to worry about doing enough things so that I may continue to deserve salvation and not fall from grace?" If you ask that, you are trying to put your trust into a deed of your own, instead of the work of Christ on the cross. And THAT is what Gal 5:4 is warning about.

comment Innocent until conception or birth?
I think the moderator edit made this a more confusing question. Dan has an interesting idea here, but I think it needs much rewording.

comment Why do we only pray for things that are possible to happen?
Jesus says person with faith of mustard seed can ask for a mountain to be moved. The regeneration of a severed limb is probably a smaller Godly feat than that. Don't limit prayers to cases which are essentially "misdiagnoses": Doc sez he had a week to live, we prayed, and he's still alive 2 years later!

comment How will Jesus be recognized at the time of “Second Coming”?
Some TV preacher ages ago dutifully warned us to look out for the guy with the sword, not the bow. If that's Scriptural, can you add this verse to your extensive reply?

comment Does the Bible give us any indication of why God created such a vast universe with so much stuff in it?
I'm referring to the apologetic value of a large universe in demonstrating God's providence, that there would have been plenty of room for humanity to keep expanding.

comment Will Jesus reveal himeself to anyone with the name “Isa”
As the question asks for an interpretation, within Christianity, of a vision that was alleged to have happened, I think it's a good question. Even if I did get tripped up with the dangling modifier in the subject line wording. If you are an "expert" in Christian doctrine, it could seem an insidious question, but the "how could" line implies the questioner finds the event dubious as well.

Totally misunderstood the point the questioner was making about "Isa", was challenged to give support for claims.
