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.

  • Is Hillary a Christian?

    I started a thread in the poop deck about Bill Clinton being a Baptist. It wasn't intended to be a serious thread, though it seems to have turned serious.

    In it, I'm thinking that Bill Clinton was actually sincere in his commitment to Christ in his early days, but, obviously, seriously strayed.

    Obama was mentioned, and I think he's a different category, as stated in that thread.

    I don't think anybody pretends that Trump is a Christian, so we don't even have to go there.

    But I'm wondering if anybody has any evidence or testimony from Hillary that she was ever actually a Christ follower.

    I find some "proofs" on the web that 'she was a Christian', but it's because "she was obviously a Methodist". And she quotes (or misquotes) scripture and Christian leaders.

    Can somebody find anywhere that shows that Hillary actually professed faith in Christ?

    Yeah, I know, we can't "judge", but we sure can be fruit inspectors.

    Let's keep this a polite discussion, and stick to the issue - Can somebody find anywhere that shows that Hillary actually professed faith in Christ?

    I generally don't consider Methodists to be real Christians.

      The thread isn't about generalities, it's about Hillary specifically.

        I'm sorry I derailed your other thread into something serious.

          I think that's FAR better than derailing a serious thread into poop deck material!

          Kinda like the son who agreed to work but never did vs the son who refused, yet showed up to work.

            Since I have no knowledge or opinion regarding the topic of this thread, I will leave now, before I derail it into spammage.

                Then I don't consider Hillary to be a Christian, because she is a Methodist.

                I would have doubts about Bill, too. I think it's at least somewhat common for politicians to pretend to believe, when really they do not.

                  So, nobody who "is a Methodist" can be saved (and remain a Methodist)?

I just see her mentioning that God cares about the poor, and that we are supposed to "love" others (a word which she obviously fails to understand or obey given that she advocates stealing and murder). Even assuming that she knew what love was, that is only the first step of becoming saved: Acknowledging that we are not adequately loving, so we can then seek forgiveness.
                            This is the part that actually pertains to the OP. Thanks

                              Do you mean Trump himself doesn't even sort of pretend to be some kind of a Christian?

                              I realize this is somewhat off-topic, but in the interest of fairness, I had to ask.
