Christianity 201 Guidelines
orthodox Christians only.
Discussion on matters of general mainstream evangelical Christian theology that do not fit within Theology 201. Have some spiritual gifts ceased today? Is the KJV the only viable translation for the church today? In what sense are the books of the bible inspired and what are those books? Church government? Modern day prophets and apostles?
This forum is primarily for Christians to discuss matters of Christian doctrine, and is not the area for debate between atheists (or those opposing orthodox Christianity) and Christians. Inquiring atheists (or sincere seekers/doubters/unorthodox) seeking only Christian participation and having demonstrated a manner that does not seek to undermine the orthodox Christian faith of others are also welcome, but must seek Moderator permission first. When defining “Christian” or "orthodox" for purposes of this section, we mean persons holding to the core essentials of the historic Christian faith such as the Trinity, the Creatorship of God, the virgin birth, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the atonement, the future bodily return of Christ, the future bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and the final judgment. Persons not holding to these core doctrines are welcome to participate in the Comparative Religions section without restriction, in Theology 201 as regards to the nature of God and salvation with limited restrictions, and in Christology for issues surrounding the person of Christ and the Trinity. Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions.
Additionally and rarely, there may be some topics or lines of discussion that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream orthodox doctrine (in general Christian circles or in the TheologyWeb community) or that deny certain core values that are the Christian convictions of forum leadership that may be more appropriately placed within Unorthodox Theology 201. NO personal offense should be taken by such discretionary decision for none is intended. While inerrancy is NOT considered a requirement for posting in this section, a general respect for the Bible text and a respect for the inerrantist position of others is requested.
The Tweb rules apply here like they do everywhere at Tweb, if you haven't read them, now would be a good time.

But that is my very point. The rule by its nature reduces professional networking opportunities for women as opposed to for men, and networking is how you get a decent job nowadays. So it is in effect discriminatory IMO. If men can't stay faithful, that's on them and they shouldn't shift that burden onto others. Maybe they should be the ones to find somewhere else to work instead.
The business world often adopted it, but the fact is that most men in the ministry have their downfall in one of two main ways...A) Sex
2) MoneyThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

That's a shame too, because I've seen studies that found that those sort of after work meetings go a long way in building camaraderie and fellowship that can play a significant factor when it comes times to promotions and raises.

But if the boss is a man and the employee is a woman, offering to talk about something over dinner or a few drinks can land them in hot water. They can quickly be accused of "hitting on" the female employee and open themselves up to charges of sexual harassment.
