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 Is there a mentioning about the wisdom of a crowd in the Bible?
@MasonWheeler: I grant that's common but it's by no means the only understanding. "Shake in your boots, tremble at his voice, fall on your face as his Glory" is by no means excluded :)

@MaximV.Pavlov: This verse should NOT be used to say that the Bible says wisdom comes from crowds. It doesn't mean that, and even the OP noted that. Please be careful not to twist bits of Scripture into saying what you want them to say.

I was looking for this verse to support my to support my statement of a few sound counselors, but all I could find in Proverbs just then was the stuff about having a friend to help you up. Good find, but you are right that this isn't an argument for crowd-sourcing wisdom!

What verse did you quote in the first quote? I don't see that rendition of Gen 1:1 in the HCSB.

comment What were Martin Luther's main disagreements with the Catholic Church?
@Farseeker: My comments above didn't take into account the whole span of time. He very certainly effected the start of a new church so (although I still argue he opposed it at first and didn't think that's the way it should have gone down) it's hard to argue about what ended up happening. Lutheranism and Catholicism are only compatible is so far as each has some measure of success in their pursuit of truth and following the one true savior not through any heroic motives of a man :)
