I'm a hobbyist programmer, part-time sysadmin, and full-time data center automation consulting engineer.
I have experience with myriad editors, shells, and OSes. And, while I'm an ardent emacs user, am pretty much beyond the religious wars of "what's best" when it comes to platform, editor, or toolset: if it works for the problem at hand, and you know it, it's [probably] worthwhile :)

Should a Christian watch horror movies? in that case, almost all movies should be avoided because they all glorify some aspect of evil |

What is the Biblical definition of “prophecy”? @Jas3.1 - it came up in a sermon I heard a few years ago, don't recall now where the preacher referenced it from |

Where did the hierarchical designations of priest, cardinal, bishop, and pope come from in the Catholic church? many protestant denominations only recognize deacon and elder/pastor/biship, where the second office has interchangeable titles. |

Immigration status for Jesus Jesus was not an Arab - He was an Israelite. |

Was Mary a Virgin? @PeterTurner - I don't think is this asking whether or not Mary stayed a virgin, but whether she was one to begin with or not |

Was Mary a Virgin? Welcome to Christianity.SE. As currently worded, this is a very imflammatory question, and, if I read it as you intended, implies that the only evidence acceptable in an answer be extrabiblical. If that is the case, then you have removed from consideration the very texts from which the evidence is gleaned, ie prophecies of the Old Testament and records of the New of those fulfilled prophecies. |

Immigration status for Jesus @BillyMoon - that seems to be crossing into the realm of Politics.SE |

Can a married person be elected as the Pope? There is no requirement to be married to be a pastor. Christ was unmarried, as was Paul. Peter was married (at least was - perhaps his wife had died, though w do not know). While I welcome you to C.SE, you've made some unsupportable statements in this answer. |

Why did the council of Laodicea condemn “Judaizing” Sabbath rest? anathema means accursed - that's a fair sight worse than excommunicated |

Can Elders of a church be young? @Jas3.1 - do you think Timothy was not an elder? If so, how would you get there? |

Can Elders of a church be young? @Jas3.1 - given the qualifications of elders as given in Titus and Timothy, and that Paul told Timothy to "remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines" (1 Tim 1:3b), how could Timothy be qualified to be teaching the church and determine who should be qualified to be a pastor if he was not one himself? Add-in to this all the mentions of him either in Acts or by Paul in his letters, and it's pretty convincing that he was an elder/pastor/bishop/overseer. |

Can Elders of a church be young? @Jas3.1 - you seem to not be understanding the relevance (which the OP has accepted already, btw). Since "elder", "pastor", "overseer", "bishop", and "under shepherd" are used interchangeably, and since Timothy was an "elder", though young, there is no proscription against young "elders", nor a prescription for 'old' "elders". |

Can Elders of a church be young? @Jas3.1 - there are three texts cited. How do they not relate to "elders"? |

Have different Popes ever contradicted each other? also - not everything the pope says is supposed to be taken infallibly. I believe the term is ex cathedra when speaking infallibly. |
