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 :)

When did Jesus send the Holy Spirit? I don't see a contradiction at all - there were merely multiple phases of the arrival |

Is there biblical reference to Michael, the arch angel - Role and being? Michael is also referenced in Revelation |

Do people go to heaven immediately when they die? are you looking for a specific tradition's view? It seems like you're going for the catholic stance, based on your wording |

What is the significance of shouting “Hosanna” by the people of Jerusalem? @DavidMorton - I think this is a good question, and while Mawia has the start of a good answer, it needs more |

Why is the number three special? the three times Jesus asked of Peter loves Him (agape and phileo are used therein, which we don't carry into English well at all) directly match the number of denials (which Christ had also predicted to Peter just hours before he did it) |

Why is the number three special? The three languages also indicate the language of the State (Latin), the people (Greek), and the locals (Aramaic). |

Why is the number three special? Jesus raised more than three people from the dead - we only have recorded 3 instances |

Is modern technology part of the Divine Intention? @AffableGeek - God was not dismayed at man's "abilities" at Babel: He was angry they had failed to follow His clear command to go into the earth after the flood. Man instead decided to congregate and "make a name for ourselves". See also "What was the problem at Babel?" |

Good person going to hell simply for not believing? @Alypius - perhaps not, but it's still true whether it "appeals" or not :) |

Good person going to hell simply for not believing? that gets right to the crux of the matter |

Does the Bible condemn white lies? @BenMordecai - God can use anyone, whether fully trusting Him or not, to accomplish His purpose. There was no way when she told the government officials who came to ask her about the spies that her 'testimony' was not a 'false witness'. Additionally, to fully qute her entry in "The Hall of Faith": "By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies." She is not commended for lying - she is commended for welcoming them to Jericho peacefully. |

Do we have to tithe our time as well? God has already "required" 1/7th of our time, if you follow the 4th Commandment ("Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy") literally. |

What is the biblical basis for requiring that a pastor/preacher/teacher/etc be paid for their ministry? @jayyeshu - that verse has nothing to to do with supporting The Apostles: that verse (and the rest of the context of that chapter and next) is about the church supporting each other |

What is the biblical basis for requiring that a pastor/preacher/teacher/etc be paid for their ministry? we seem to be getting sidetracked from the initial question. The question is NOT "is it ok to pay those who minister?" The answer to that is an unequivocal "YES!" The question is, "is it expected that a 'vocational' pastor 'title' should exist?" |

What is the biblical basis for requiring that a pastor/preacher/teacher/etc be paid for their ministry? @Jas3.1 - that is the specific example I am thinking of. In addition, he was typically supported (as one *sent) by his sending church. What about all the other ministers in the NT? |

What is the biblical basis for requiring that a pastor/preacher/teacher/etc be paid for their ministry? Paul also didn't take support from the churches in many places - he worked as a tent maker |
