Saved from the web by a job in industry. Coding GUI for computer-aided railway realignment machinery.
At last a job where I have time to do stuff properly and don't have to worry about loads of unfixed bugs coming back to haunt me.

“Conciliated your heavenly affections” And the second bit, I would understand "appealed to your common Head", it's the "from you" bit I don't get... |

“Conciliated your heavenly affections” Thanks for taking the question seriously. As it stands, I may need some help translating your answer! Is it pushing things too far to say "conciliated their heavenly affections" is equivalent to "prevented them from feeling too bad?". |

Why did Mary ask Jesus to make wine at the Wedding at Cana @Narnian, I'd say it is significant, because it's the first recorded miracle. If you believe in the Law of First Mention. But I agree, Mary didn't ask/tell Jesus what to do, she didn't come with proposed solutions. She came with the problem, and trusted him to be the solution. In this she is exemplary. (And this is what the Catholic priest preached last Sunday at an ecumenical service I attended). |

Does knowing a spirit's name give special powers in controlling that spirit according to Christian theology? Did you meet the church priest? Did he give you any tips on painting? :) |

Are chapter and verse divisions international? Note: (at least some) French Bibles have the same "off by one" difference in Psalms. |

If Christians believe that Christ was a God and immortal (or resurrected), why do some avenge his killing in his name? @Jon, well I guess we can safely say that no Muslims are avenging the crucifixion... |

Were the Gospels considered Scripture when the rest of the New Testament was written? When you say the most profitable, I'm assuming you mean the most edifying...? |

Why did Satan tempt Jesus in the desert? I'm not sure that Satan knew that Jesus was going to die for us. |

Is the Israel of the NT the modern country? It seems to me that your explanation requires Israel to be interpreted differently in vs 25 and 26, no? |

Mental Illness vs. Demon Possession @Ian, my thought was similar: would Jesus healing epilepsy today be any less wonderful than him casting out a demon then? |

Can a Christian believe in Oni (Japanese Demons)? Yes, my reaction on reading the question title was: you should be asking if it makes sense for a Christian to believe in Japanese demons... |

What is a Christian's justification for a legal prohibition of homosexual marriage? I'm not sure about the context in the US, but it seems to me that the way your phrase is titled is partially responsible for the kerfuffle in the answers. In the UK in any case, it isn't a question of (some) Christians wanting a 'legal prohibition of homosexual marriage', but rather being opposed to a redefinition of marriage (as currently defined by the law) to include same-sex couples (who can already legally have 'civil unions'). |
