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.

    Neither party tried to overthrow the government. One party IS, however, obsessed with pushing abortion - that should concern any Christian.



    Not necessary.



    It is, and people are free to make false claims, and others are free to point out the error of their ways.
    Eh, sort of. Both parties have been infiltrated by the WEF which is trying to take over our government and is currently succeeding.

      As Rogue and I often say (at least some version of it) - the Democrat Party is rushing headlong into Hell - the Republican Party tends to favor the scenic route.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        I used to believe that, but not anymore. They are just two puppets controlled by the same person. They might appear to fight against each other, but the same force drives them both.

          I wish I had a strong counter-argument here, I really do.

          • Did any of you read one of the Newsmax headline stories today? It is straight out of the Military Industrial Complex playbook. I nearly fell out of my chair.

              I wish you did too, it would be a less depressing reality if it existed. I really, really fought against this conclusion but I can't do that anymore.

                Which is why I always come back to "God is still on His Throne", and can't let this whole politics thing drag me down.

                  This is one of the few silver linings in all of this and I agree. However, I do think too many people let this knowledge lull them into complacency.

                    So it comes down to, in my opinion, work [or vote] like it depends on you, but pray like it depends on God.

                    (with far more emphasis on the latter)

                        Only ONE person died as a direct result of the riot, Timothy, and that was an unarmed female Air Force veteran shot by a nervous Capitol Police Officer.
                        The Democrats actually outright lied about a Capitol Police Officer being bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher, and even after it was known this was false, they still used it to raise money and to prosecute the impeachment.

                            No, sir - it was a riot, and everybody who broke the law that day should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
                            But facts should not be distorted or misrepresented.

                            Don't gaslight me.
                            There's another poster here who seems to think he's always being gaslighted.

                              My comments were actually to another poster who claimed that the insurrection wasn't so bad. I agree with you that it was a riot (and not at all in a good way) and everybody who broke the law that day should be prosecuted. I didn't distort any facts. It was a riot and people actually died. Additionally, I disagree with Trump when said that the (his word) "hostages" should be pardoned. And I will do what I can to make sure Trump is unable to pardon the insurrectionists. My conscience is clear, I will do the right thing.

                                So good so far....

                                It's misleading.

                                Do you believe abortion is immoral?
