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) |

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) |

What's the main difference? Death by or through sin?

@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) |

@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) |

@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) |

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) |

The big question for this community will be whether it wants to take on the scopes of both C.SE and BH.SE or just C.SE. (more) |

Agreed. I think scoping questions very tightly actually makes for a much healthier site community. Asking for "just what the Bible says" universally results in big arguments. (more) |
