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.

      Beyond that, I'm not really on the same page as the Wretched Mr. Friel, as usual. I think the Addams-theme church service is a bit dopey, but I don't agree with the implication that a church service is supposed to be buttoned-down and stodgy and formal. And I don't think Mr. Casual Pastor's broad use of the 1 Cor. citation is any worse than Wretched's narrow and stringent use. I'm also, as usual, more with Luther than with Calvin, since he dragged them into it. I couldn't make myself watch past 11 minutes.
      ? How does the speaker's statement, "Paul says, 'I'll do whatever it takes, short・of・sin' " relate to the commentator's interpretation, "As long as someone gets saved, who cares how we facilitate that" followed by "That's nonsense because it assumes that what is being done isn't sinful and prohibited."
      1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

                              Here's an interesting look at that: The Pastoral Malpractice of Preaching Universalism
                              In the historic teaching of the Church, preaching can be summarized with the words of the Lord and of His saints: “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” Preaching is essentially an exhortation to repentance. It is the command to do something—to repent—because something is happening—the Kingdom is coming.

                              But how would you frame this preaching if universalism is true?

                              Assuming that all will be saved no matter what, why exactly should people be exhorted to repent?

                                This is adjacent to the oft-cited idea that the church somehow puts way too much emphasis on the idea of eternal life, presumably to the detriment of putting Jesus's teachings into emphasis on the ground level. I even heard it from the pulpit recently and I've seen the idea on TWeb. I never see this fleshed out in an idea I find satisfactory. After all, Paul teaches that we are without hope had Jesus not been raised.

                                Universalists have a couple of responses to this - one is that if it's true, it's true regardless of the implications, and the other (generally from the more conservative universalists who hold to more or less orthodox beliefs otherwise) is that the sinner can at least avoid a stay in purgatory. But given that I presuppose that universalism is not true, it seems to be pastoral malpractice at the very minimum, in large part for the reason you cite.
