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.

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?

We're not under the old covenant. And we don't think a deity is somehow connected to the tv. Some people may have a problem with setting priorities, but that's not what the second commandment is about. You do need to realize that most of the Christians here on tweb are already aware of any decent points you are making. In other words, you are preaching to the choir and treating basic math(addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication) like calculus.Last edited by Christianbookworm; 07-29-2015, 08:31 AM.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

Would you please explain what you mean by the bold part of what I quoted. We already had one confusion resulting from your use of the word incite. I would like to know if you mean insight or something else. And the worship team is what ? My church does not have a worship team we all just worship with hymns, prayer together, and reading and study of the Word.
A little proof reading would go a long ways in getting your message across.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?

I think Zeke needs to learn more before he teaches."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

understand I wrote this a year ago but when I said "Pastor is to look up for incite, Worship team is looked on like were not good enough." was meaning that Pastors, worship team can be looked on as idols don't get me wrong on this I do think we should sing songs to God and all but what I m saying is that alot of people may look at them as idols instead of regular people. I hope this answers your question.

Originally posted by Jedidiah View PostAgain, zeke, I recommend proof reading and spell checking. I do not know what you mean by "incite." It means to stir up or encourage or something along that line. You should figure out what word you are going to use and spell them correctly so we can understand what you mean.The fact that science cannot make any pronouncement about ethical principles has been misinterpreted as indicating that there are no such principles; while in fact the search for truth presupposes ethics. - Karl Popper, 1987

In zeke's defense, I'm making the following two observations.
Certainly TWebbers won't think that. We have taken our Christian walk more seriously than the "average" Christian. So the observation is old news here.
Second, I've been in churches where the Trinity seems to be The Father, the Son, and the holy building. Does seem to be a malady of churches than have been established for a longer time. Maybe zeke comes from one of those churches."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6
