Can I believe in evolution and still be a Christian? @Bruce - tempered the sentence slightly for now because I'm too lazy to go look up the reference at the moment. |

What's the Protestants' view on the purpose of sacraments? This: Their 'succession' of tradition is not through Popes or Saints [(or Apostles)] but through faith like Abraham's. Sacraments are things that are commanded. To fail at a sacrament is to sin (which is bad enough), but no more. |

Justification of Offertories according to the Regulative Principle of Worship This if fine... as long as it's one song. If the choir handles the majority of the song service, to the point where the average congregant does not participate much, something may be wrong. |

Where did the ecclesiastical offices go? @LoveTheFaith more that the their priesthood lacked to the ability to fully atone for them, but this is now made perfect through Christ. |

Should women give sermons? Man's conscience can be corrupted. In the Old Testament, God even requires an annual sacrifice for the sins Israel did not know it committed. |

Should women give sermons? You can believe you are right, but still be wrong and bear guilt for the actions that result. The Pharisees provide ample evidence of that. |

How is Christian worship different than Christian religion? @Flimzy I would say religion covers everything in how man relates to God, not just the reconciliation, in which case it was there from day 1 (or rather, day 6) |

Is there any biblical support for copyright law? @Max You can also read the book without consent of the copyright holder or author. The point is that no law grants anyone ever anywhere any ownership over information or ideas. |

Is there any biblical support for copyright law? @MaxGontar It's a common misconception, but information is not considered property under copyright law. Only license to reproduce that information is protected. Take a book, for example. I can purchase a book without the author or publisher's (copyright holder's) permission, but I am not permitted to reproduce the book. Ownership of the text and information itself is not granted. Even the copyright itself is not "owned" by the author. Rather, copyright law assumes the right is owned by the public, and a special limited-term exclusive license is granted to the author/rights-holder. |

Which Bible verses support adult-only baptism? Also, I really like the "celebrated by" phrase at the end. There's a lot of "faith vs works" discussion around baptism, and I think those who see baptism as a work miss this. |

Which Bible verses support adult-only baptism? Just a comment on the Acts 2:38 passage: try taking it not as the promise that changes, but the definition of "children" to mean "descendants" and "far off" to mean "gentiles". |

What Bible verses support infant baptism? But personally, I'm with you that baptism is best seen as a believer following the picture of Christ's death/burial/resurrection. |

What is the Biblical evidence against the day-age theory? One point of order here: I don't think it's ever a good idea to ask how to use scripture to refute or support any view. That's kind of putting the cart before the horse. |

What is the meaning of God's omni-powers? God is everywhere (and everywhen), God knows everything, God is all powerful, and God is source of everything good. |

The Grace Gambit You mis-state Pascal's wager. The wager is not about "still living a good life" if you're wrong: it's about the infinite vs the finite. If you guess for faith, and you're right, you have infinite reward. If you're wrong, you risk finite punishment. If you guess against faith and you're right, you have finite reward. If you're wrong, you risk infinite punishment. |

Should women give sermons? Much of this argument hinges on the "culture and mores of the times" being wrong, and so it's a failing of man... and yet it's God who chose the timing. It appeals the need for extreme progressive thinking... which was already found elsewhere throughout Christian thought, which was already extremely progressive for the days in other ways. I could get past all this anyway and agree with progressive viewpoint, if not for the addition of the direct contradiction of plain-text scripture. |

When I feel my church offering is being misused @Jim - I didn't say only church. I said "ministry". If he can't find a worthy ministry to serve God, he should use the tithe to help start one. |

What are the theological implications/problems with theistic evolution? Not necessarily. Theistic evolution would still allow that God took some extra measures in Man's case, to the point of even directing the evolution of other animals so that man would be in God's image. |

If we're not instructed to do something, can we? Good luck at Oklahoma Christian. I passed by the campus a few weeks ago and had the chance to meet some your IT staff. Looked at OC myself back when I was a high school senior, but ended up choosing Harding. |
