No corrections yet. The log is published empty on purpose, so that the absence is checkable rather than assumed. Substantive claims here are never silently edited.

The method

Every page states the objection before it answers it, quotes scripture in full from a public-domain translation, names where Christians disagree, and has a numbered section for what the text does not settle. How this is written.
