@TRiG I'm not sure what the connection is exactly, but I keep thinking of the Nigerian pastor who spoke at our church last night whose life has been threatened 5 times. It seems like the western church is focused on the wrong things altogether.
 
@TRiG Why?
@TRiG Love this graphic
@JonEricson I think the western church is too political. Sometimes I wonder, with certain people I know, if they worship Jesus or the US constitution.
 
@fredsbend [SNORT]...unfortunately, I'm inclined to think the same of some of my friends.

I appreciate the redirect (the question sure seems like a BH question). But we need to be careful (especially with new users) to explain the protocol. In particular, it's not fun to get a duplicate question:

Q: What does it mean to be perfect?

ByronArnI asked this on the Christianity Stack Exchange site, and they told me it would be better here. So I here I am asking it... Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48 NKJV) What is the text commanding here -- what does "perfect" mean? Is there a...

I suggest pointing people to:

A: Can something be asked both here and on BH.se?

CalebYes & No. Let me explain. Cross-posting because you have a question that you don't know where it belongs and so you take a shotgun approach is strongly discouraged. Cross-posting because you have a question with aspects that are best addressed by a different set of experts and you tailor each v...

@JonEricson Ok. I think I see what you mean; I'll try to remember to post a link to that in these situations. With this question though do you agree with me that he would probably get more detail into what the words actual mean to the original audience on BH? In other words, a more useful answer?
 
@fredsbend Well, if you ask me, if a question asks for an interpretation of a passage in the Bible, you are likely to get more focused answers on BH.SE.

Q: How does Peter fit the events of Acts 2 into the apocalyptic imagery of Joel?

Jon EricsonIn Act 2, the disciples of Jesus were gathered in the upper room when something extraordinary occurred which caused a stir in Jerusalem. Luke gives Peter a chance to explain in the first extended monologue in Acts. He explains: But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: “‘And i...

 
@JonEricson Yeah. If I had a question like that I would have asked it on BH.
@JonEricson This too.

@JonEricson Do you want to migrate my answer over to BH? I'd rather not copy and paste and an asnwer to his copy and paste :)
 
@AffableGeek One solution (if nobody want the question on C.SE) is to migrate and close as a duplicate. (Obviously, the one with answer(s) would be canonical.)
