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.

Would the story of Jesus hold more significance if he were a man like us? +1! "once I had faith in Him, I was now enabled to do the things I couldn't do before because I had Christ living within me" ... well put. I love hearing this truth expressed in people's own words: "So, actually what you desire to do, which is to emulate Christ, is possible because of His divinity." |

Would the story of Jesus hold more significance if he were a man like us? You might check out this article by David Mathis on the subject: Jesus is Fully Human. |

What methods are used by Christian churches to discipline their members? But we let the mission field come into our churches don't we? How are they to be different? And is ejection from whatever "in" circle they were "in" the only form of discipline we have or are there steps that can be taken before ostracism? |

What methods are used by Christian churches to discipline their members? @WikisAtArea51: I narrowed it down a bit. If you have other ideas I'm all ears. I don't think the per-denomination thing is viable until I hear what kind of range we're dealing with, but I tried to ask that in as narrow a way as possible and dropped the "what are all the different traditions implementations" wording. |

Has Christianity ever come down in opposition of arranged marriages? This is pretty much what I could come up with off the top of my head -- which is why I asked because I'm surprised (will be shocked if confirmed) that any major issue of culture would slide by without some major Christian tradition having expressed an opinion on it. We don't exactly have a track record of just letting culture just do it's thing! I felt it was more likely that my own history was defunct. |

What methods are used by Christian churches to discipline their members? The passage you reference talks a little bit about the process, but doesn't give much about what the final thing looks like. The example you give sounds more like being fired than punishment. Discipline = being fired? What if the person is not a church employee? |

Who created God? I agree with @Marc here, the analogy actually breaks the point rather than re-enforcing it since the two items are on the same playing field instead of different ones. The first part was good. |

Who created God? @Sklivvz: No, he does not mean to say God simply "is". God is the one who introduced himself by saying that he is "I AM". See Exodus 3:12 for one reference but but it is used many times and many of the names we use for God are built in this statement of his. See also I Am that I Am. Since, when challenged for who he was, God himself gave this answer in reply, I think this qualifies as an answer not a comment just the way it is. |

Under what conditions can a “good” or “charitable” act actually be sin? Related question: Is it a sin to do "works" for the sake of "rewards" in heaven? |
