Should “Jesus” be rendered “Yeshu‘a” in English? This question has an accepted answer, but it is not closed. If it were, you would not have been able to answer. |

Did the first Christian believers keep the Sabbath and if so on which day? See also: Why does Judaism celebrate Sabbath on Saturday and most Christians celebrate Sabbath on Sunday? |

Did the gospels really copy from each other? Wikipedia has a lot of interesting material on this subject. |

Is Divine Simplicity Coherent? A mathematician would disagree. For example, there are an infinite number of points in the plane, and yet it can be divided into lines, which are also infinite sets. |

Does God change? Doesn't this assume that change is always for better or worse, and that it's impossible to change between two equally good (or even perfect) states? I'm not sure that's a given. |

Why does God resort to genocide and destruction? My question is about his methods, not his motives. Free will does not imply free action. For example, would you say that imprisoning someone robs them of their free will? As for alternative solutions, one would assume that God would be able to come up with far more sophisticated solutions than any human could think of. Even something like relocating them to another planet a few billion light-years away ought to be simple enough for an all-powerful being. Killing just seems like a solution a human would come up with, not a god. |

Why does God resort to genocide and destruction? @DavidStratton: I don't know. If I knew what answers I would get, why would I ask the question? I don't have to agree with an answer to accept it, if I think it's a good explanation of the Christian position. |

Did God REALLY want to destroy the people of Israel? If God doesn't want to, then why does he? Being omnipotent, he should have plenty of other options at his disposal. |

What's the evangelical take on “Tebowing” and genuflection I believe it's called "showing off". |

Is civil divorce OK for Catholics, are there mitigating circumstances? Is your final paragraph a question about civil law? That part sounds a bit off topic. |

Would the Christians Luke was writing for know who Phanuel was? @Waggers: It's the banana guy. |

What “fundamentalist” beliefs are most commonly rejected by “moderate” Christians? @Affable Geek: Thanks for the background. However, my question is more an attempt to understand moderates than fundamentalists, and the cases where people's beliefs contradict the doctrine. So while it would indeed be impossible to answer my question with doctrine or policy, I'm wondering if there exist any statistical studies that would help my understanding. |

What “fundamentalist” beliefs are most commonly rejected by “moderate” Christians? @Waggers: I realize it may well be too broad, and I'm not really expecting a comprehensive answer. An overview, links to any studies, or pointers on where to look would suffice. |
