Mar 23	comment	Is there any Biblical argument against using “cuss words”? @Chris - that's a good point, but I think there's some room in the question to talk about profanity as well. Would you object if I expanded the answer to cover both points or would you still feel that the profanity section is too off topic for the question?
Feb 14	comment	What is the biblical basis for the claim that abortion is immoral? @Steely - you can try for that argument if you want, but that will firmly separate you from the main-stream "Pro-Choice" movement, which hangs it's position on a woman having complete authority over her own body, and disregards any possibility of recognizing the fetus as an individual.
Feb 12	comment	What scholarship exists behind the WikiSource translation of the Bible? I hadn't seen this project yet, but it looks very interesting. Personally, I wouldn't trust it for the next decade or so, but if it can hang around it is the nature of wiki projects to naturally become more reliable over time.
Feb 7	comment	How is Christian worship different than Christian religion? @Marc - see the next to last paragraph. I just said it leaves room for the argument... not that I necessarily agree with that argument.
Jan 27	comment	How could Jesus be born during the reign of Herod, and when Quirinius was governor of Syria, if those periods were not contemporary? Hmm... that wikipedia article on Herod could use an update. There's a very good chance that Herod actually died in 1 or 2 B.C., rather than 4 B.C.
Jan 25	comment	What is the biblical basis for the prohibition of instruments in worship? It would be difficult for any web site to speak for the churches of Christ, since individual congregations do not acknowledge any central leadership outside of Christ and scripture. There are no formal conventions, synods, or even ordained clergy. At best, the site would speak for a single congregation.
Jan 20	comment	What is the Biblical evidence for Old Earth? This still fits the cultural definition. Jews defined a day as the time from when the sun rises until it sets. It's hard to have that kind of a day with no sun... in fact, I'll edit that into the answer.
Jan 13	comment	Why not give credit where credit is due? "out of" was perhaps the wrong preposition, but if you're asking a question at a site about Christianity, you should expect the response to come from that world view.
Jan 12	comment	What is the Biblical evidence for Old Earth? I don't know that it matters how the original scribes understood it in this case. This describes a time during which there were no people. Even in the best possible circumstance we're already relying on people to scribe something they could not possibly witness or understand.
Jan 11	comment	Why not give credit where credit is due? @Josh - the question is asked out of the christian world view, which may allow for the Big Bang, but even presumes that God is still behind even that.
Jan 11	comment	What is the biblical basis for the claim that abortion is immoral? @Ben - the right to privacy is in play only because the court first rejected any individual rights for the fetus. The right to privacy in question is then balanced vs the state's interest in preserving the population and the species.
Dec 21	comment	Why do Jehovah's Witnesses exclude pagan influences from their doctrine? That's like asking why a mouse would exclude a cat.
Dec 20	comment	Does my monk go to heaven? @David - you motivated me to add on a bit more. I think I cover some new ground now in the final paragraph.
Dec 15	comment	Is Christianity functionally polytheistic? This question is off topic. It's a question about philosophy, rather than a question really about christianity.
Dec 14	comment	How does 1 John 2:19 fit with the teaching that Christians can lose their salvation "For if they been of us" == "If they were still Christians". "they would have remained with us" == "They would still be meeting with the rest of the original congregation"
Dec 2	comment	Who determines church dedications? I still own a house up there, but since they GM plant closed I owe way more than it's worth now. Okay, I'll stop comment-spamming the question now ;)
Dec 2	comment	Who determines church dedications? @Peter - ha, my last residence was in Evansville WI. Small world. I had customers in Footville.
Nov 11	comment	Biblical basis for baptism as a prerequisite for salvation Scarcity? Baptism is mentioned more than 80 times in the new testament.
Oct 18	comment	What is the Lutheran doctrine of “Law and Gospel”? "I'm having a hard time understanding the distinction" -- I think that is the point of Luther's quote: it's not easy.
Oct 12	comment	Do any Christian traditions intentionally use the name 'Yahweh'? In other words, many consider using "Yahweh" is less honorable to name, rather than more.
