My thoughts are filled with beautiful words for the king, and I will use my voice as a writer would use pen and ink. (Psalms 45:1 CEV)

What is the modern Evangelical view on tithing? How about Hebrews 7:8? |

How long was Jesus in the tomb? Jesus died on the first day, Friday, at 3pm, and could have been resurrected as early as Saturday evening after sundown. Following the logic of this answer, to which I agree. |

Distributism and Subsidiarity beyond the counsel of Jethro in the Bible @JustinY: The seventy spoken of in the NT for me seem to be closer to the 70 spoken of later in Exodus, when God gives Moses His plans for structure and organization, which seem to differ from Jethro's (to which God never gave His approval). God's government does not seem to be hierachical, but rather flat and based on anointing (He took of Moses' spirit). |

How do Christians explain commonalities between their religion, other major faiths and obscure isolated tribal belief systems? Maybe they share a common ground: the truth known to all man in the beginning. Satan had the different believe systems deviate from the truth in various magnitudes, so some share more, others less. |

Did Christ have the freedom to choose to avoid crucifixion? For me the difference is: Foreseeing - He knows how I will decide. Predestined - He decided for me. But you are right - much too big for comments. |

Did Christ have the freedom to choose to avoid crucifixion? not for the person making the decision. If the decision is predestined, than there is no free will. If a God outside of time foresaw the decision, it has possibly been a free will decision. I interpret "Foreseeing" not as estimated guessing that can be wrong, but as actually having been there and seen the decision process and taking. Possible evidence: God sees the end from the beginning, and the lamb was slain before the foundation of the earth. |

Did Christ have the freedom to choose to avoid crucifixion? Was it inevitable, or did the Father just foresee it? |

How should we dress when attending church worship/activities/services? Why only when going to church? Should you not do it all the time then? |

Why are the first five books of the old testament named differently in some translations? @James: James is called Jakobus in other languages, latinzed for Jakob or Jakuv. James ist Church Latin, where Jakobus became Jakomus and thus James. |

How should we judge the trustworthiness of a given Bible translation? There is a danger of becoming a largest common denominator if many people work on a translation, especially with diverse groups. Your comment about using multiple bibles is very valid. Use bibles in different languages, from different times. |
