Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines

Notice The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.

We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

    Interesting, Nick.

    Thanks
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      The only thing I believe Constantine had a hand in in terms of Christianity is that he made it legal through the edict of Milan that ended the persecution of Christians. Other then that as you state his hand in Christianity is little to none.

        Bart Ehrman is correct it was the Roman and Greek Church Church Fathers compiled and edited it before the Council of Nicea. I believe that the Council of Nicea would be more in the role of deciding the doctrine and dogama that divided Christiainity at the time. I believe Constantine attended the first day and was involved with the discussions.

          What is the issue with Ehrman's comments on Constantine and Nicaea? Do we know the viewpoints of those people who have asked him whether the canon was established at Nicaea?

          Given what I have heard and read from Christians over the years quite of few of them have some rather uninformed ideas about why that first council was convened or history of their religion prior to that moment.

            I heard that Constantine had orange skin and a really bad blonde comb over.

              And he tweeted to the dismay of all the people. It just wasn't the internet tweets that we have now.
