Why was Jeremiah treated well by the Babylonians? @PaulA.Clayton: Interesting point. But the fact that the Bablylonians had "respect for a prophet" may make them more righteous than the Israelis. I have explored this further in a followup question. |

Were (at least some) Babylonians (at least somewhat) righteous? @Steve: Jonah prophesied, Nineveh repented, and God changed his original plan to destroy the city based on Nineveh's repentance. That spells "somewhat righteous" or "improved righteouness" to me. I'd certainly accept an argument that they were not fully righteous. But the real question was were they righteous to the point where they now represented an "upgrade" to the Israelis? |

Why was Jeremiah treated well by the Babylonians? Not a bad answer. Upvoted. I plan to explore some of these issues further in a followup question. |

Why do we use words like “servants” to mean “slaves”? I didn't know about the "before the 20th century" part so I found your question useful. Only a strong historian would know these things. |

Why is it hard for a rich man to go to heaven? @FFCoder: It's a "figure of speech" for something that's very hard to do. |

Are people who “think a lot about” God, Jesus, right and wrong more likely to go to heaven? Fair enough. To ask the question "your way," is someone who "thinks a lot about God and Jesus and right and wrong" more likely to "believe in God's son [and therefore meet] the condition for eternal life?" |

Are people who “think a lot about” God, Jesus, right and wrong more likely to go to heaven? @SoftwareMonkey: I consider those acts "two sides of the same coin." As I remember, Nathan accused David of "stealing" Bathsheba from Uriah, just as the rich man stole the lamb from the poor man. |

How is Hal Lindsey regarded in the Christian faith? I tried to improve the question by asking WHICH Christian groups considered Lindsey's thesis valid or invalid. Even if his (or another) doctrine is "controversial," I want to know that. |
