Why do women have inferior rights in the Bible? It's also worth noting that all of this is way ahead of it's time. Other cultures in the area treated women as little better than property. To give women so much influence was revolutionary for the time. |

Why do Christians need to promote their religion to non-believers? @Marc You're stretching. Hitting closer to home, surely you as a programmer have seen a colleague about to use a technique that is widely used, but you consider harmful. Even if you'll never have to maintain that code or use the product, if you had the opportunity you would want to correct the developer. |

Why do Christians need to promote their religion to non-believers? @Marc - the question is asking about a Christian's motives, so it's perfectly fair to evaluate it from the Christian's point of view. |

How is it that someone who lived thousands of years ago can “represent” me? I think the phrase "because all sinned" undermines this passage as a proof text for original sin. It suggests that individuals also sinned separately, and that is the reason for their depravity, rather than a connection to Adam's sin, and the punishment we all bear for the original sin is mere earthly mortality. |

What is the justification for relying on faith healing over conventional medicine? Of course it's not silent. I didn't say it was. I do disagree with your implication: mentioning something does not imply a commentary on it or approve it. That said, I also don't claim to agree with the interpretation used here. I was just explaining where it comes from. |

Under what conditions does the Bible support divorce? A better interpretation of the first passage is that the reason divorce does not cause a person to commit adultery in cases of immorality is that the adultery has already occurred. It's not permission, but an acknowledgement of what is already there. |

Are Dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? I, for once, am with Sven on this one. Behemoth is also said to be small enough to sit beneath a lotus tree, and I can't find the link now, but another translation or commentary indicates the behemoth was a creature that could also be milked. |

Is an action morally good because God commands it, or does God command it because it is good? I think the answer to the title question is, "Yes." |

How is Christ's death so significant? It's important yet, but Lazarus was also resurrected, and I hope that you and I both are someday as well. It proves divinity, but does not by itself prove divinity of Jesus. There is more going on here. |

In which year was Christ born? I added a further sentence (with footnote pointer) to the quotation so you can see how the source is used. |

Do not allow a sorceress/witch to live? Someone who derives supernatural power on this earth from the devil. Any supernatural that is not from God is from satan. In the modern age, granting such power is contrary to satan's mission, and so it just doesn't happen. They may aspire to be a real witch, but it's... doubtful they've suceeded. |

How should we dress when attending church worship/activities/services? Don't forget accurate doctrine. |

How should we dress when attending church worship/activities/services? This is a good reason not to dress formally for worship, as it promotes the idea that we can behave one way (righteously) for church and another (less.. righteously) during the week. |
