Ecclesiology 201 Guidelines

Discussion on matters of general mainstream Christian churches. What are the differences between Catholics and protestants? How has the charismatic movement affected the church? Are Southern baptists different from fundamentalist baptists? It is also for discussions about the nature of the church.

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 theists. 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” 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, there may be some topics that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream orthodox doctrine that may be more appropriately placed within Comparative Religions 101.

    Isn't it necessary to have biblical support for your view?

      No. The Bible isn't an encyclopedia. It's not a comprehensive, self-sufficient and self-interpreting guide to Christian life. It was never intended to be.
      Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

        Ok since you you do not have biblical support for praying to Mary then answer this:

        Can you name one place in Scripture where prayer is taken place to anyone and/or anything else but to God where it is not worship? (See Post #212)

          I don't recall either confirming or denying this.

          Again, why should I?

            Ok, you don't have to answer the question.

            Thanks anyway.

              You defined the terms of the debate and the standards of evidence in such a way that you could only win, but failed to consider that other people don't operate on the same exact set of epistemological assumptions. Try understanding why people believe what they do and engaging them there instead of demanding without reason or explanation that they adopt your standards for belief.

                Revelations 5:8. Sorry, you're done foudy, that clearly depicts the Saints interceding on our behalf.

                  You just couldn't answer the question because your heresy would be exposed.

                    Nope. It doesn't teach the saints are being prayed "to".

                    I know you hope that it would but a false hope is not a hope one should cling to - especially as bad as this one.

                      Why would answering the question make me a heretic?

                            You defend praying to Mary.

                                Because God alone is to be worshiped.
