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.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        I like the quote as it carries a lot of truth in it.

        I'm always still in trouble again

            I do see the truth in this, and I'm sure there is plenty to condemn me, but I think there could be false charges (like accusing me of being a serial killer) that would be worse than my actual sins (to me anyways). I suppose it depends on whether some sins are really worse than others (they are to people, but I've seen arguments both ways with God).

              Great quote, thanks for sharing. It's notable that the man saying this was also most certainly one of the more holy individuals to have walked the earth.

                A couple of weeks ago something like that happened to me. One of my new teachers at college met a former teacher of mine. My former teacher made a comment on me having copied at one of her tests - something I never did. But I chose not to complain, because I know I still did a few shameful things in her course for which I repent. So as we walked away with my other (current) teacher, she said she hadn't thought I had some "dark" past -- to which I just replied "thank God He forgives us and lets us grow" -- to which she agreed.
                We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore on Christ's behalf: 'Be reconciled to God!!'
