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.

              We do that, too! We just finished up a project cutting up a huge pin oak tree that fell during a storm. It was one of our elderly ladies, and she insisted we keep the firewood. I have enough for the winter, supposing we actually get a winter this year. One of our favorite projects recently was building a wheelchair ramp from the driveway to the back door of the home of one of our shut-ins. When they take him for a doctor visit or whatever, it's WAY easier to get him in and out.

                      sounds like you got most of it covered.

                      Our church has a "great day of service" each year where we volunteer around the community doing whatever is needed, like painting schools, clearing fields and cutting yards, repairing homes, cleaning parks, free medical clinics working with members who are doctors, nurses, or dentists, handing out groceries and clothes and stuff like that. and on a monthly basis we also do things like visit nursing homes and such.

                          We have a food ministry where we pack and distribute food each week. And a separate food pantry for members of the church along the principle of taking care of our own as well as the outside.

                            So, it's tomorrow from 9 AM to Noon. Looking forward to it, but I don't know if we'll have 2 cars or 20 or 200 or somewhere in between. While we (the guys) are servicing the cars, the women (sorry to be sexist, but that's the way it works out) will clean windshields, vacuum floor mats (if the drivers want them to) and serve coffee, tea, cookies and - during the lunch hour - hotdogs.

                            It will be interesting to see how many people show up to have their car serviced.

                              Nice idea CP. I do help out a few people, at church, with their car repair stuff when I can.
