Q: Is there a meta that provides an overview of various sects?

If not, I'm thinking of a place where anyone from each sect can edit and provide very brief information about their particular beliefs. I realize this could get ridiculously large, and maybe it's not even possible, but I've tried to come up with a list that could maybe work as a quick reference. ...

Sorry @Nathaniel my daughter was getting fitted for her new AFOs and the appointment lasted forever, so my bounty expired for the modalist question. I started a new bounty for it but I have to wait 23 hours before I can award it.

Nathaniel

@anonymouswho Oh that's okay! I appreciate that but I could have answered the question earlier if the bounty was that important to me. Answering with 30 minutes left in the grace period isn't exactly a good way to get bounties :)

I play guitar and I love it. Although I'm not a huge fan of Paul's Christianity, I've always wondered what John Newton sounded like singing Amazing Grace. There's so much music we'll never hear. Alright I have to go to bed now. Have fun moderating

Nathaniel

@anonymouswho Ha! I'd be a terrible rapper. That'd be "music" no one will ever hear nor needs to hear :). Sleep well!

Q: Off Topic Questions

Should we direct people who post off topic questions to sites that would be glad to answer them? People who ask questions that are related to Christianity, but fall outside of our scope could be directed to another site like Bible Wiki's Bible Questions Board. Is this a good idea and could we pos...

Q: Did Joel Osteen make this innuendo-laced comment?

Over the past few years, I've seen a number of times a quote attributed to Joel Osteen, a prominent evangelical pastor, which is very innuendo heavy: Do not swallow anything Satan is trying to ram down your throat. Jesus comes first. This seems to always been presented in the form of text p...
