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 don't get it, why would you think attempting tightrope walking on a barbed wire wearing nothing but straw sandals would be a bad idea?

      That would only work if you were invulnerable. Otherwise... ouch.
      If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

        Anything about anybody going to heaven and coming back is bunk. I don't believe it happens, ever.

        Jesus said, "No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man." John 3:13

        And, somebody else said, "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,". Hebrews 9:27

        Can't happen. Doesn't happen.

          And I was just going to share my own story.....

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

            2 Corinthians 12:2-4 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. 3 And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— 4 and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.

                We have already had this conversation in another thread.

                I shouldn't have said anything.

                      In re of he OP, I read the book. The author is a SBC minister from Texas. Whether he died or was hallucinating is certainly up for debate I guess...but the troopers and the EMT's thought he was dead. A fellow minister, who came along after the fact, recognized his car and crawled into the wreckage to pray for him as they were trying to cut him out. He was very badly injured and does expound on his injuries, but I don't think it was too excessive in the book...

                          I believe the Bible, books and movies not so much. I am with moss on this one.
                          Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

                            Well, ". . . I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. . . . " -- 2 Corinthians 12:2

                            Only the Son of God being the Son of man actually ascended and will descend as He ascended. So I mostly agree with you here otherwise.

                            Oh, one more thing, "And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven." -- John 3:13 MKJV. His omnipresence did not go away in His incarnation.
                            . . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV

                            . . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . -- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV

                            Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . . -- 1 John 5:1 KJV
