I am a scripting language connoisseur, regular expression aficionado, network geek, general lover of Linux and a frequent contributor to open source software. I transitioned to programming from other work because I was too busy automating my own work environment to actually do the other work. I have a hobby interest in cartography. For more see my personal site. Most importantly, my life is defined by the grace of God given to men through Jesus Christ. It is my ambition that everything I do would reflect His glory and point people towards Him.

comment Are there any other books, divined by God, regarding Christianity?
@fredsbend Maybe the author could clarify but based on the clues I see here I completely disagree with your assessment. This is a broad generalization question but it is asked "in regards to Christianity". That isn't a capital T truth question, that is something that calls for Christianity's beliefs to be expounded on.

comment Are there any other books, divined by God, regarding Christianity?
This answer does nothing to shed light on how Christianity judges something to be inspired and what works it has found to be so. Please reserve the answer space for things that answer the question and do so in a way that is representative of Christianity inside the scope of the question.

comment Do Catholics view atheism as a sin?
Is this a direct answer to the original question? Does this represent the Catholic view and definition of sin? You know those are the sort of guidelines by which we judge answers here? I know that's a little different than most internet forums where forums where any opinion goes and posts drift from issue to issue, but that's not our gig. Savvy?

comment What happened to Job's family?
@fredsbend This question certainly has issues, but it isn't exactly your classic truth question. And I'm sorry but your "answer" in a comment here would get pretty fast down vote from me. The writing style doesn't clearly show anything. The language and writing style is so old and hard we can't even be sure we know what linguistic style it is, and the belief that is is historical is not uncommon among scholars. Except maybe non Christian scholars, but that's hardly the inference in the context of this site.

comment Will God destroy the earth again?
@AndrewGrimm "Men" can refer to folks that are human no matter what their gender.. This is standard English language usage and goes for other monikers as well.

comment Among writers of the bible, how many are Jews and how many are Greeks, Aramics, etc.?
The Biblical authors span far too large a time span for clear definitions or Jewish/Greek/Other to have consistent meanings across the whole time period. In order to make this an answerable question you need to show why this matters to you and hence what definitions you are using. There are 40 some authors including some unknowns. What are you trying to learn here an why?

comment What is the Biblical evidence for Old Earth?
I personally completely agree with the argument you make here, the trouble is the whole thing doesn't really fit inside the question scope.

Can you edit this answer and give us some sources for information about "special Sabbaths"?

comment Praise people who kill
Questions aren't a place to soap box your personal theology. There is a potential question here, but in its current form it's obscured by your attempt to make a question serve as a place to get your ideas out there. You can try to remove that stuff, but honestly it doesn't sound like you are trying to learn anything here. What do you want to come away having learned? (Not about truth, about about extant Christianity.)

comment Why go to Church?
According to who? You said yourself there are more positions on this than can reasonable be expected to be spelled out here, and without a construct for judging correct answers this is a discussion/debate question, not something we can bring around to a concrete answer here.
