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.

His claim was along the lines that Virginia Beach was frequently hit by major storms, but that after he prayed against one, it was never struck again.
    Kenneth Copeland, Gloria Copeland and Jesse DuPlantis also have made those claims and done their proclamations, which did nothing. Also, as I mentioned, Bill Johnson from Bethel Redding tried to stop the fires by his word, but that didn't work either.

      Yes, I'd heard he did that, too.

        The prayer also wouldn't work because no man can change the weather by the word of his mouth. Only God controls the weather.

          Hurricanes are also an important to the ecosystems in the Southeast. They are what pretty much ends a drought.

          • Yeah, just because Jesus can calm the storm doesn't mean He'll do it if anyone asks. Especially when there's good that comes from it. Why do people still live on the coasts?
            If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

              That was Hurricane Gloria, in 1985. He prayed that it would change its path and not hit the coast of Virginia. But hurricanes do that all the time. What evidence is there that it was because of him that it happened.

              Looking at its path, there doesn't seem to have been any noticeable course change.

              • Actually, Gloria was only the most recent at that time. I was pretty sure I recalled him making the claim prior to that, so I dug out his 1985 book, Beyond Reason. Therein he recounts at some length the time the Lord granted him the faith to rebuke a hurricane back in 1965.

                And I'm pretty sure he'd told the story on-air a few times before that.

                    Evangelical pastor claims that the reason Jesus hasn’t returned is because people aren’t donating enough money


                    If we want Jesus to come back, then apparently we’ll have to dig deep into our pockets, according to right-wing evangelical pastor Jesse Duplantis.

                    During a recent four-day, live TV event Victorython on the Victory channel, Duplantis made the bizarre claim that people aren’t donating to their churches generously enough, and this is the reason why Jesus has not yet made a reappearance.

                    “I honestly believe this — the reason why Jesus hasn’t come is because people are not giving the way God told them to give,” he said, “when you understand this, you can speed up the time.”

                    Who knew, the son of God was so money motivated?


                    There's a video of him saying this crap in the link, but I can’t seem to isolate it and post it here.

                      And yet he isn't donating his millions to the church. Probably because he knows when Jesus comes back, he will be hearing "I never knew you!"

                          • On a side note, we have partnered with a group in Houston who has a homeless shelter, and I have been very pleased with our associaiton.

                            UNTIL, I asked how they got started, and the Pastor told me they were an offshoot of Osteen's ministry.

                            He, apparently, knew that would get a rise out of me, because he hastened to add "JOHN Osteen, not his goofy son".

                            When I was younger, I used to go to Pastor Conferences led by John Osteen (before he started going more 'charismatic').

                              I've often heard that Joel's dad was very different from Joel. But I don't know much about him. I am sure that if John could see what his son was doing he would be very unhappy.

                                John was solid, but as his demise was somewhat sudden, I think Dodie (his wife) went into panic mode that she was about to lose her (yes, "her") kingdom, and rushed in to try to get one of her own sons to take over. She first tried to talk an older son (either a doctor or a dentist, IIRC) to take over, but nobody else wanted it. Hence, the youngest son, Joel, became heir apparent, then heir to the throne.
