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.

Can Humans become Angels? @El'endiaStarman I agree they don't need salvation per se but there is actually a really interesting issue along those lines. I feel a question coming on. I'm really curious to see if the issue that I have in mind gets dealt with! |

What do you tithe from? Why tithe income? <deleted previous comments> I brought your question to the attention of some guys in chat and Flimzy had a suggestion for editing this in a way that makes it easier to answer. |

Absent apostolic succession, what is the argument for the authority of the church? Hey guys ... do these comments help the OP make a better question? Can it be edited for a better scope? @dancek can something about some churches having apostolic succession be an answer? |

What happens to people who have never heard about Jesus? @warren: That sounds like something you could expand on in an answer. I was asked this way on purpose because it's a question I HEAR a lot, and this is usually the way it's asked. |

Who saved people before ~33AD? Thanks for this answer. Can you expand on it with some sources. This could use some Biblical evidence for where they GET that belief and also somewhere in their official statements where it states this? (Mind you I'm not arguing I think your right that this is what Catholic doctrine teaches, but it could be a much more useful answer with some backing.) |

What is the difference between justification and sanctification? Excellent answer, thank you! This community needs more answers of this caliber. |

What effect did the Reformation have inside the Catholic Church? Also FYI, many Protestants don't believe in "private interpretation" either, in fact many are adamantly against it :) |

What effect did the Reformation have inside the Catholic Church? Interesting. So you're saying doctrine didn't change with the Council of Trent, only implementation? |

What should a Christian do when he finds out that his Christian friend has turned away from God? Whether or not it's our final decision on pastoral advice questions, answering and then voting to close isn't very good form. I've done it myself even within minutes when I've changed my mind, but the idea with closing is that you don't think it can/should be answered in it's current form on the site. Getting your word in edgewise before you do that isn't quite fair. Comments are the best way to communicate if you think it should be closed :) |

Isn't the burden of proof on the Christian to assert that God exists? @vonjd: SE employee or not Shog9 is still a person, and I would argue (as a person myself) that the reasoning in your answer is absurd. You can't argue that a text is "unambiguously" saying what you think it is when multiple people have disputed it. As for the text, at face value Jesus is switching from talking ABOUT Thomas to a comment TO Thomas ABOUT us who have not seen Him in person and commending our faith and the faith of the disciples who believed before they saw him risen in person. At the very least you would need to backup your claim with some outside source. |
