The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Who speaks for Christianity?

Asked by WaterStreet in Philosophy & Religion

Tags: Christianity, Jesus, bible

Who speaks for Christianity?
and the related question of
Why believe one over the other?

Reasons for raising this are per the recent quotes below raised as off-topics in an EE thread.

1. Who speaks for Christianity?

Quoting from recent postings here: "I don't hold to Catholic teaching...nor do I necessarily consider many of them Christian. It is another religion."

2. Why believe one Christian over another?

(a) "the Holy Spirit will speak to you in terms of conviction...giving you enough light to see the truth"

This suggests to me that, aside from core elements of faith, biblical interpretation is up to the individual in some branches of Christianity.

(b) The other guy might be accused by another Christian of not being the right kind. "He might not be a Christian in reality. Going to a "Christian" church a opposed to mosque doesn't make you a Christian anymore than being a garage makes you a car. True Christianity, according to the Bible, is to know personally and follow Christ."

(c) One Christian might consider that the other "might be a Christian, but immature in his understanding"

(d) One Christian might think that another "may have been taught a certain [wrong] bias."

(e) One Christian might consider another to be part of a cult that "have their own [biblical] translations."
