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.

    I think all Twebbers can be put in one of two categories:

    A) Those who have had a run-in with LilPap
    2) Those who will

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      CP, I don't much like Pap, but I have to side with him a little. He was not "wasting his time" by making a clarification. He was informing me that I cannot expect him to explain himself. I did the same thing in that recent Nat Sci thread when I said I was leaving. It seems even for parallel reasons, I did it because I determined those folks weren't going to listen to what I had to say. He did it because he thought I lacked the ability to listen to what he had to say (presumably). He's wrong to think that of me, but with that as a premise the result is logical.

        I'm sure he'll appreciate that.

        It wasn't just you, Pent... it's his general attitude... other times I've seen him make similar comments. (I'd look some up, but it'd be a waste of my time. )

        You are a kind man, Pentecost. Now, ask yourself, have you EVER seen LilPap make a similar gesture of good will?

        But blessings on you!

            I pretend optimism and feel a liar, but it's vulgar to be as cynical as I am in truth.

            His attitude is poor, and I do not think it unfair to say he should change it, and Galatians 5:13-15 comes to mind, but I did not start this thread to rebuke him, and if I did that would be awfully wrong, he should be confronted first in private... You know the Scriptures better than I, I am sure CP.

            You are a kind man, Pentecost. Now, ask yourself, have you EVER seen LilPap make a similar gesture of good will?

            But blessings on you!
            I have not CP, but am I return evil for evil? And blessing to you sir, in Jesus name!

              I've never had a problem with Paprika, and we've argued before.
              "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

              There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

                  Thanks. I wish I could return the compliment.

                    No problem, DE... I'll keep taking notes and trying harder.

                    Happy New Year to you, DE!

                      You know I really never thought about that. I think you found the answer. I struggled with such a root for years. Never even realized it.

                        Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom
