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.

Originally posted by Faber View PostYeah, several decades ago in a legalistic church. Took my family out of it. A few years later it was learned that he was sexually involved with several foster children.

The problem was that legalistic pastors are so high above their congregations that they are accountable to nobody, and do things behind the congregation's backs. There have been many examples of that in the past few decades. We can't question their authority. We are taught to believe that the Holy Spirit leads only through the pastors.When I Survey....

Scrubbing toilets was jph's analogy of what would happen to a Christian deserving of no rewards. Seriously, if they were actually saved, what's the worst that could happen to them? A stern lecture? I sure would not want a lecture from Jesus, but I don't know how effective it would be to a spiritual abuser. Those jerks probably think they're in the right and will get an unpleasant wake up call.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

Neither are things I've ever heard taught.
Zeke, your experience of the church is unlike ours. The church you experienced is not the Church, most of us are not pastors, and all of us know our Bible. I cannot help but feel you have been failed.Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith? -Galatians 3:5

I read getting incite of the Holy Spirit as having the Holy Spirit incite them to preaching. I thought of it being an spelling error of insight, but gave him the benefit of the doubt. The sentence was not terribly clear, though you are correct.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?
