All this time thinking about whether or not you could, you never stopped to think about whether or not you should.

What were the Nephilim, and what role did they play in the Bible beyond just being mentioned? Very nice and thorough answer! |

Who decides if a verse is literal and what part is metaphorical Ask ten different people, you'll get ten different answers. Ultimately, this is an important question in real life application, but as it's a Truth question, it's really not a good fit for the site. |

Why do we only pray for things that are possible to happen? What makes you think nobody prays for the impossible? |

Is 'Jesus' an example of an error in the bible? Even if it was an translation error it's still not an error in the sense you seem to be thinking. The doctrine of infallibility and inerrancy doesn't apply to modern versions, it refers to the original manuscripts. Copyist errors are understood and accepted. From a Fundamentalist standpoint, what does the phrase "Inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God" mean? |

Can God Change his mind? @Flimzy Good point. That was badly worded. In the passage you cite, however, God didn't change His mind and send Aaron instead of Moses, He tells Moses to take Aaron to speak for Moses, who in turn speaks for God. There's also no reason to assume God didn't know Moses would come up with excuses ahead of time. That would deny God's omniscience. It's reasonable to assume that God's plan was to send them both all along. He knew what Moses' objections would be before He laid the foundations of the earth, much less before Moses objected. He let Moses object, and steered Moses to His original plan. |

Can God Change his mind? Also, this is very close to being a duplicate of christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/5220/does-god-change I think it's just different enough to stand on its own, but yo should check out the answers there as well. |

Can God Change his mind? Welcome to the site. When you get a chance, you should read the FAQ and About pages, and meta.christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/1379/… As phrased, this is what's referred to as a "Truth" question, and may wind up getting closed. Various branches within Christianity tend to have different answers for questions, and we usually try to avoid "what is true" and focus on "what does denomination X teach". Accordingly, I tried to answer in a way that addresses your question from several perspectives. |

Does swearing on the Bible have any spiritual significance? I think you'll find that today, this is something best answered on an individual level. For some, it would have significance, for others it wouldn't. I don't think there is an official Church stance on it from any major denominations. It more likely stemmed from a time when people took God and the Bible more seriously, and there was some fear associated with breaking an oath sworn on a Bible. Atheists would call it superstition, those who would tremble at the thought of a God angered by a false oath using His word might think there's more significance. And there are all those in between. |

How should a Christian respond to “Does this dress me look fat?”? This is an "Is X a sin" question as well as a Pastoral Advice question, AND I know I answered this exact question in the context of another question, so it's dupe. christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/6055/… |

Why go to Church? Sorry for the vote to close, but this looks to me like it falls somewhere between a "Truth" question and a Pastoral Advice question. |

If rules in the Bible can change, shouldn't Bibles be arranged chronologically so we know which one is right? +1. It would be even better if it addressed the misconception that the Bible contains discrepancies. Applying just a little effort, logic, and consistency shows that supposed contradictions can usually be resolved. christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/12272/… |

How could animals have gotten all around the world after the flood? And by the way, welcome to the site. ;-) Sorry if it sounds like I'm jumping on you from the get-go. I don't mean to. Just trying to be helpful and help you avoid getting your first question closed right off the bat. If you get time, you should check out the FAQ as well. |

How could animals have gotten all around the world after the flood? You could, for example, ask "What are the explanations given by prominent Young-Earth Creationists like Ken Ham, Kent Hovind, and others" or "How does ICR explain this"... That brings it into something that's both answerable and can be supported with citations and sources. The ability to give a good supported answer is valued here. meta.christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/692/… |
