I should probably begin by saying that I personally have no investment in any of the religious communities here, much because I am not religious myself, and feel happy not to have had to care much ...
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...
From your post: Having all three creates the problem of inconsistencies among them, ranging from the wording of quotes to entire events. While this may be seen as a problem, it is also benefi...
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 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...
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.
If according to Genesis 7:2-3 God commanded Noah to take seven pairs of the clean animals and only one pair of the unclean, does that mean that 14 giraffes went into the ark? Let me explain. 2 Y...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
