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.

    Oh, I know you will hear God's word divided rightly there!

    If you go, wave at the camera and say hi! I'll be watching!

      On the upside, according to that news article Grace Church's defence lawyers have a good solid case against the City of Los Angeles.

        I've been trying to find any reports of other churches who have defied the governor being threatened in the same way, and I haven't been able to find any at this point in time.

          California used to be a beautiful place. But unless you're one of the rich or their underpaid serfs willing to live in a bunkhouse, it's too expensive to live there. I got out a few years ago. I can't stand the politicians and corporate warlords who destroyed my home of 37 years

            Sorry to hear you had to move, but it's nice hearing from you again!

              This is a development I don't think I expected.

                Wow, good on them!
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      More information, straight from Grace Church's news page:

                      https://www.gracechurch.org/news/posts/2002

                      Though the full hearing is set for early September, for now they're fine to stay open as long as everyone does their social distancing mask thingie.

                        Glad to hear that, though I do hope they continue with physical distancing the congregation and using masks as long as there's an outbreak.

                          It seems the county officials won't let up so easily...

                            LA County won the appeal.

                            It won't end here.
