Is it a sin to allow oneself to become fat in the absence of medical conditions? @SanJacinto: On the contrary, I don't view your comment as negative. Anything that clarifies the gospel (and makes me think) can only be a good thing. Thanks for picking me up on this! |

What does the bible say about homosexuality? Thanks for posting. This is clearly a subject close to your heart, and your perspective is welcome here. However, I agree with @DoubtingThomas. The original question was "what does the Bible say...", not "what should a Christian response be...". You have answered the latter, but not the former. In the context of this question, it would be beneficial if you were to either cite scripture, or to explain how others have misunderstood specific passages. |

How can one tell if God is in favor of a modern value or not? @SamuelHulick: Specifically, which passsages of Scripture do you mean? It is difficult to answer specific issues without references. |

Is saying “Oh My God” really using God's name in vain? Not only is the phrase using God's name in vain, but it needlessly offends other people, is therefore not loving and is therefore offensive to God on those grounds, too. If you want to get over the habit, I suggest deliberately introducing an inoffensive alternative. "My word!" suffices because it is meaningless AFAIK, or "I'm surprised!" which has the benefit of saying what you actually mean. |

What are the practical applications of “two will become one flesh”? @Richard: I quite agree that the verse has nothing whatsoever to say about whether couples should / shouldn't have children, nor about the quality of union between childless / childed couples. Rather, it points to children, who are a physical expression of the depth of union between a man and woman and says that this should give us a clue about God's views on marriage (Jesus is quoting Genesis before the fall where A+E were commanded to multiply). |

What is “faith?” Tangible? As in you can physically touch it? |

How to answer “Why do evil and suffering exist?” @Jürgen: Sorry, no references, just logic. Belief in evolution seems to imply that physical death (and therefore at least some measure of suffering) existed before humans evolved, which implies that mankind's actions are not responsible for at least some of the bad things that happen. There is surely more to it than that, but comments are not the place to explore further (and to be honest I'd get out of my depth rather quickly). |

Is rock music sinful / immoral? @felideon: On the contrary, those who hold this view are appear to be against rock as a genre. They consider "Christian Rock" to be as objectionable as any other type or rock. Nor do they don't seem to object to secular music in general. |
