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.

    I have seen nothing the last month from either the Justice Centre or the Rebel of how this has turned out. However, based on the opening comments of GraceLife's guest speaker Tim Stephens' sermon from this past Sunday, I'm inclined to think that it was a victory for the church.

    Daily Wire summarizes and comments, in addition to posting the video -- for those who prefer reading to viewing.

    They have nothing, so they will tie it up with adjournments until everybody forgets about it.

    What a load.

    Yes. I started a thread about the church arson and vandalism in Civics yesterday or a couple of days ago.

    A joyous day for GraceLife Church, as they worship in their own church building for the first time in weeks.

    Not much about the action brought by James Coates and the JCCF against the government that was supposed to be heard yesterday?

    Pastor Tim Stephens has been freed from the Calgary Remand Centre.

    His lawyers received word this morning that the May 6 Rooke order was being rescinded now that Alberta is in Stage 3 of reopening, and there are no more capacity restrictions on places of worship.

    So, his lawyers moved as quickly as they could to get him out.

    Rebel News' Adam Soos was alerted to this news by the Stephens family, and he's on the scene right now.

    Pastor Tim's next court appearance was slated for July 12th. He was arrested in front of his family at his Calgary home June 15 breaching the Rooke order restraining illegal public gatherings after he held an outdoor church service the previous Sunday.

    Rebel News is on scene with Pastor Tim and his family right now.
