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.

    If morality has no place in running a business, would this imply taking advantage of an opportunity to circumvent laws if one believed they had a 100% chance of getting away with it?

    Eh, basically - slight twist from their intent, I think.

    Political winds come and go - and Christ warned us of persecution - but in the US we ARE the government as well as the governed. If we flee, we're fleeing our duty as citizens and besides, where would we go? The US, for all its flaws, is still the freest nation on Earth and the one with religious freedom enshrined in its foundation.

    No, this is where we stand and fight - with words, love, and perseverance. If we can't win here, don't fear for us - fear for the rest of the world which has never had the deep ties to freedom that America has flowing through her veins. If freedom cannot stand here, it cannot stand anywhere.

    Besides, November is just around the corner. Shumer is playing to his base at a time when the majority of the nation has moved away from that base. Thanks Chuck - grist for GOP mill only makes taking the Senate more likely. The GOP is no panacea but it will bring a lot of the Democrat program to a screeching halt.

    Don't be afraid - be vigilant. That's what Scripture teaches, after all. And no nation-state - not even the US - is in control the way that God is. He's got this - His plans are not foiled by human stupidity. Whatever comes, He is still God. Job was right - though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.

    How do you calm your anger........

    when you see things like this.

    I realize I am not an American but this entire thing about the Hobby Lobby does make me fear for Christians in the U.S.A.

    Finally, a question. Do you plan to migrate if things like this keep going on (a question to Christians)?
