This is really the only part of the answer which actually addresses the question, and you didn't really give any evidence, so could you please flesh it out some more? "However, the explicit association of the Nephilim with the Anakim is likely an editor's insertion for clarity (i.e., a "gloss")." (more) |

The modern Unitarian branch of Christendom began within a few decades of the Protestant Reformation, so it wouldn't make much sense to consider it a whole separate reformation event. What value do *you* see in such a suggestion? (more) |

Thanks. The parallel with Jacob is an interesting one. The longer you stay somewhere the more likely you'll be to out down deeper roots. (more) |

"Abraham knew that likely if Isaac went to find his own wife in Mesopotamia amongst his own people, the chance of him coming back was slim to none." What makes you think that Abraham was thinking/knowing this? That's the core of the question, and you've given no evidence for it. (more) |

@Peter Relatively short. Isaac lived a long life, and even a year or two would be 'short' compared to the rest of his life. Of course a long trip wouldn't invalidate God's promises either! (more) |

Why was it so important to Abraham that Isaac not go back to Abraham's homeland? > Genesis 24:1-9 (CSB): Abraham was now old, getting on in years, and the Lord had blessed him in everything. 2 Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his household who managed all he owned, “Place your hand under my thigh, 3 and I will have you swear by the Lord, God of heaven and God of earth, t...

Can you please name the book you were reading and provide a quote from it? I think almost all Christians would say that the argument from the book is nonsensical, and that God would not have inspired the Biblical authors to use words from the future which would to them sound like gibberish. You're as... (more) |

@Monica That was the potential of BH.SE, unfortunately it didn't seem to work out well. Though I think there are a few Jewish members there. But I might as well post it to this network's Judaism site! (more) |

A: What is the basis for believing that Peter actually wrote the book 2 Peter? While there are many reasons and criteria that we can use to defend the inspiration of a Biblical text, ultimately the Christian will be convinced of the text's inspiration, God-given authority, and truthfulness by the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. As the Westminster Confession says: > WCF 1.... (more) |

@Charlie I haven't heard of them, but potentially, if they do explicitly say that's what Sola Scriptura means. But they could be referring to the Regulative Principle of Worship instead. And ideally an answer would cover more than one single congregation.

TBH I've not seen the value of these for other fields before. They're usually pretty general, and often duplicate the work done somewhere like Wikipedia. I prefer specific resource request Q&As on niche topics. I'd also worry about how they get moderated, how do you stop people fighting over the best... (more) |

@Mithrandir24601 I think this is something we shouldn't want. If we did, the only technical change I can think of that might help is a category without voting? But if comments were still allowed (and I think they should be) then it would still be a massively increased moderation burden. (more) |

@Monica Personally they seem to have very different purposes. I don't know how a resources category would help with overview questions. (more) |

| Question | — |
Does the narrator of Numbers assert that the Anakim come from the Nephilim? The Nephilim are named only in two verses in the Bible, in Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33. Numbers 13:33 says that the Anakim come from the Nephilim, but different translations render this in a variety of ways, some making it seem like an integral part of what the spies are saying, some making it seem...

@Monica Overview questions are actually pretty intimidating (at least on C.SE), and they're probably not great for new members. They rarely get fast answers. To answer one you may need to address Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, Protestantism (Lutheranism, Reformed, Arminian, (some... (more) |

A: What's on and off topic?

A: Questions about theology, doctrine, philosophy The Christianity Stack Exchange site didn't take long to realise that free-for-all questions were a bad idea. This isn't inevitable, if all the community members are exceptional respectful and patient with each other. But as a religion which (mostly) teaches Original Sin this isn't a very good assump...

Biblical Basis questions should not be thought of as "What does the bible say about X?" questions. BB questions are shorthand for Biblical Basis for Doctrine questions. If you're not presenting a doctrine (distinct from a topic) then you're not asking a Biblical Basis question. (more) |

Does Reformed Theology teach that Old Testament saints were personally united to Christ? Union with Christ is a central doctrine in Reformed Theology, and concerns the mystical union of the believer with Christ, by faith and by the Holy Spirit. In faith the Spirit unites us to Christ, and that union is the means by which Christ's saving work is applied to us, it is the power of regenerat... (more) |

What contemporary definitions of Sola Scriptura are there, from self-professed proponents, which mean something other than the supreme spiritual authority? The doctrine of Sola Scriptura is generally defined as the belief that, while tradition, reason, and experience may be sources of spiritual knowledge for the Christian, the scriptures are the only infallible source, or the supreme spiritual authority. For example: > Wikipedia: Sola Scriptura (by s... (more) |

Which Biblical Theology frameworks are currently taught in the Southern Baptist seminaries?

Simplistically, Dispensationaliam says there is a big discontinuity between Israel and the Church, while Covenant Theology says there is a great continuity between Israel and the C... (more) |

What are the major problems that Chalcedonians have with Miaphysite Christology? The Council of Chalcedon of 451 gave a clear definition of the Hypostatic Union, the doctrine that in the incarnation, the Son of God took on a full human nature, so that in this one person are united two natures, divine and human. Hypostasis refers to one of the three persons of God, so the Hypostat... (more) |
