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 Church's support of immoral Donald Trump broke my heart. My church felt like home, and now I feel homeless.
    I'm sad that all of this happened. I wish that the Church would leave Trump.

    I don't know. Apparently, in order to be a Christian I have to follow Donald Trump. I can't do that. So while I have been a Christian for 35 years, I don't know what I am any more.
    Is following Trump an indication that you are no longer Christian?

    I am a Christian. I'm no longer associated with the Trump church, those who attempt to follow two masters, while claiming that they "Don't follow Trump".
    Did Trump tell you to call me an infidel? You become like the one you follow..

    I got a kick out of this....

    The cathedral is part of the Episcopal Church, the American branch of Anglicanism. Considered the "church of the establishment" for much of American history -- 11 US presidents have been Episcopalian -- the church of late has been known as a forerunner of progressive theology.


    A fancy way of saying that the apostasy is well under way.

    Remember, moderators can see the posts you delete, too.

    If you think you made a mistake supporting Trump, just say so.
    I don't think I made a mistake. I made the best decision I could at the time, and accept the fallout.

    Hillary is not POTUS.
    SCOTUS is not Hillary's.
    God is on His Throne.

    Yeah, I think that was actually posted after a LONG exchange asking for anything that showed he actually claimed - himself- to be a Christian. That article seems to indicate that Buttigieg became acquainted with religion, but doesn't really indicate he accepted Christ as Savior.

    But I don't know that he didn't, and it no longer matters to me relative to his run for the presidency. He has less than a snowball's chance in the hot place, I think.

    If enough of us who were disgusted with Hillary (but not thrilled about Trump) simply didn't vote, Hillary would be POTUS and SCOTUS would be Hillary's. Have you seen how crazy far loony the left has become?

    That was me asking you.

    You might be able to blame me for Hillary's position on abortion IF I had supported Hillary. I didn't.
    See.... I didn't assume --- I asked!

    As I said, not my problem.


    Would it be fair for me to accuse you of supporting the murder of babies because you support Hillary?
    That was me asking you.
