I don't understand the exact objection in bowing down to the King, which is a universal practise in line with the Bible (Rom 13) and does not seem to violate monotheism, as it is not a worship of h...
I heard about this sect on the news, but can't remember the term. Anyone know what I mean? Aniconism isn't the answer — because I know this noun already — but also because this faction allows th...
Note: I have already posted this on Biblical Hermeneutics SE Some time ago I read a book where the author was doubting the divine inspiration nature of the Bible by using the following reasoning: ...
I propose that questions about the following are on topic: biblical literature, including related to theological, linguistic, historical, literary, ethical, and practical dimensions of such text...
Hello. Yesterday I came upon a Hebrew translation of Nicholas de Lyra's commentary on Ruth. I found it to be intriguing for a number of reasons. One reason was that he based much of his commentary...
I don't feel that there's a reason we necessarily have to take the view that questions have to be about a specific tradition; there's no reason a question has to have a single 'best answer' - answe...
If we use the Christianity Stack Exchange site as an initial baseline, then the What types of questions can I ask on this site? will be a useful guide for most of the questions that can easily be m...
I propose that this should be off topic: Questions that are too broad (examples below) Subjective questions about Christianity in general Survey of Christian traditions
I'm no graphic designer, but my first instinct would be something along the lines of the Wordless Book or Christian Flag, including at least red and white.
What books or other resources introduce the different genres recognised in the Bible from a literary view? It would be helpful if the recommended resources address how scholars differentiate betwee...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
The website for the Apostolic Bible Polyglot English Text adapted by Tyndale House (ABEn) is: https://www.apostolicbible.com I believe it is based on the Apostolic Bible Polyglot Greek Text (abpgr...
I read the linked article and didn't see anything about Catholic teaching at all. I'm at a loss as what the so-called "success sequence" Walther proposes even is. He may be a Catholic writer, but I...
I'll think that a multi-reformation description is far better than the common traditionalisms. One could easily describe more than one in western Europe, more than one in eastern Europe, a pair in...
Here's the best answer I've come up with: Biblical literalism originates with Luther's "sola scriptura" doctrine. Others may have tightened what parts they believe are factual vs. which are simply ...
This use of 'clothe' feels kooky and unnatural to me. In 2022 Modern English, clothes usually refer to the body, not the neck. Can someone please make this natural and intuitive? Then again, Engl...
Undeniably, the heart can't physically cause the sins quoted below, as in the Matthew 15:18-20. Crimes against the person (manslaughter) are committed usually with the limbs and hands. False pret...
Were there historians of Christianity that claimed a similar claim to that there were actually two reformations instead just one? One is the reformation initiated by the "proto protestants" and ...
In 1 Corinthians chapter 13 says that the knowledge will have an end. Meaning that we will know fully. I think it is quite clear that one person's beliefs (or faith) is the reflection of his own...
The Other Reformation On the other hand, on the Catholic side, the Church, at the time of Luther's exit, had already been undergoing a good 1500 years worth of fairly constant reform. The first a...
Don't you need to add a secular academic Hermeneutics site which sets apart from the dogma-based Christianity site? There will be always a huge barrier between religious believers and scientific st...
From what I've read, it seems to indicate specifically contraception. I've also seen it refer to hallucinogenics, such as one might use in a mystery cult. Contraceptive Claim Contraceptive Claim ...
The practice of understanding scripture to be objectively True and the literal word of God originates with scripture itself, and the men who wrote it. The New Testament contains references to the O...
The Bible often uses clothing as a metaphor. I've found a Christ Covenant Church article that goes in detail into several examples. A few more examples: Colossians 3:12: "clothe yourselves with c...
In Joshua 15:16-19, it is related a short episode of Caleb, Othniel and Achsah. In Judges 1:12-15, it is related the same story (almost copy paste). Why do you think this story was considered sign...
