What Bible verses support infant baptism? Here's an article on why one Baptist pastor was persuaded to an paedo-baptist position (there's also an article on the reverse conversion on the same site, which is friendly to both views). |

What Bible verses support infant baptism? Not all Baptists are dispensationalists. There is also New Covenant Theology. A recent book in this line of thinking is Kingdom through Covenant by Gentry and Wellum, which got lots of publicity (e.g. here and here), particularly from Reformed Baptists. |

Can Elders of a church be young? No, there's no such requirement. See the answer below about Timothy's age. The lists in 1 Timothy and Titus are commonly regarded as generalized panegyrics demonstrating character traits, rather than an exact lists of qualifications. If it were the latter, it would seem all elders must be married, which would bar Paul and Jesus both from leading the church. There you have a reductio ad absurdum. |

Why did Jesus never address God by the name “Jehovah”? I don't think that's quite right. Luke 24:52; Matt 14:33; 28:9,17 all have Jesus being worshiped. It is noteworthy that Peter and others are also worshiped (Acts 10:25; Rev 3:9; etc.), but it is clearly not correct to say Jesus never received worship and always redirected it to his father. More nuance is needed. |

How much variation is in the Hebrew language of the Old Testament? Here's a lecture that touches on this question about the changing nature of the Hebrew language: "The Old Testament Documents: Are They Reliable?" |

What is the Roman Catholic position on literally reading the Flood account in Genesis? To add to this good answer, there are other methods of interpretation -- the four-fold sense of scripture: literal sense, allegorical sense, moral (tropological) sense, and anagogical sense -- which has commonly been used throughout church history and still is in the Catholic Church. Protestants have typically eschewed the other "senses" in favor of a grammatico-historical interpretation only. |

Who rules this Earth after the millenium? Are you interested in answers that reject the premise of the question, e.g. from an amill or postmill perspective? |

When and how did the names Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John get attached to the gospels? See Ben Witherington's interesting take on Lazarus being the beloved disciple and the substantive author of the gospel. Under this theory, it bears the name of John because "John of Patmos was the final editor of this Gospel after the death of Lazarus." |
