What place does Lilith have in Christianity? You've added references. The wikipedia article mentioned a hapax, which is most appropriately not used for Christian practice (although many do anyway). The other is creative interpretation, and if we want to do that, we can come up with all sorts of beliefs. Many people do that too. Does that make it Christian? That's a much bigger question. |

What place does Lilith have in Christianity? You can use biblegateway.com to search for words or phrases. She's not mentioned by name in the NIV, nor do I recall seeing the name in various versions I have read. |

Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion? I've heard of communion held in a poor country, where corporate donations allowed them to hold communion with Fresca and Pop Tarts. I always considered that as valid as any other communion, and not irreverent at all. |

Do the temples need cleaning? As I understand it, they were telling the people that the sacrificial animals that they did bring were not perfect enough, but they could sell them one that was perfect. And, if they wished, they'd take that poor animal off their hands for a fraction of what it was worth. They'd then use that animal to sell to the next sucker. That was the robbery. |

Religious justification for creating a large angry scene with the ostensible purpose of making people not gay @AffableGeek, as for your personal experience, it is one on a spectrum. Some can choose to change, some cannot. A friend could not, much as he tried: through a hetero marriage and children, becoming a Christian; he remained gay. So we need to remember there is a continum, and as you say, hate and fear are certainly not appropriate reactions. |

What major discrepancies exist between “versions” of the Bible? As a child, I read the KJV. As an adult I have read many other versions. They sure seem to present the same teachings to me. |

Can I be homosexual and still be a Christian? I would only modify point 3 to be "whether or not you continue in a homosexual lifestyle is the only question." Becoming a Christian will probably not change your "what you 'are'". |

Are God, Son (Jesus) and The Holy Spirit Same? Of course it's confusing. We're trying to understand God based on our own limited understanding of human relationships. But we can understand something to be true without fully understanding it. |

Does God change? The word 'change' implies time: I was this then, and am now that. Perhaps, with two equally good options, two perfect options, God is both. That isn't change, however. |

Does God change? Will we be perfect in heaven? Or just sinless? Jesus grew in wisdom, but was also fully man, and was at that time bound in time. Of course he changed as a person, since he had to grow from a baby to an adult. I don't think sinless and changeless are synonomous. |

How many Christians have actually read the whole Bible? Do we get a point for each time we've read it? Or just one point whether we've read it one or many times? |

Is God capable of ever doing wrong? +1 pointing out the authority for judging what is right and wrong. |

Is God capable of ever doing wrong? And if we are equal to or greater than God, then we can use our own definitions. If there is a Christian God, however, and he made everything, then he gets to make the rules. |
