Unorthodox Theology 201 Guidelines

Theists only.

This forum area is primarily for persons who would identify themselves as Christians whether or not their theology is recognized within the mainstream or as orthodox though other theists may participate with moderator permission. Therefore those that would be restricted from posting in Christianity 201 due to a disagreement with the enumerated doctrines, ie 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 may freely post here on any theological subject matter. In this case "unorthodox" is used in the strict sense of a person who denies what has been declared as universal essentials of the historic Christian faith. Examples would be adherents to Oneness, Full Preterists, Unitarian Universalist Christians, Gnostics, Liberal Christianity, Christian Science to name a few.

The second purpose will be for threads on subjects, which although the thread starter has no issue with the above doctrines, the subject matter is so very outside the bounds of normative Christian doctrine totally within the leadership's discretion that it is placed here. In so doing, no judgment or offense is intended to be placed on the belief of said person in the above-doctrines. In this case "unorthodox" is used in a much looser sense of "outside the norms" - Examples of such threads would be pro-polygamy, pro-drug use, proponents of gay Christian churches, proponents of abortion.

The third purpose is for persons who wish to have input from any and all who would claim the title of Christian even on subjects that would be considered "orthodox."

The philosophy behind this area was to recognize that there are persons who would identify themselves as Christian and thus seem out of place in the Comparative Religions Forum, but yet in keeping with our committment here to certain basic core Christian doctrines. Also, it allows threads to be started by those who would want to still be identified as Christian with a particular belief that while not denying an essential is of such a nature that the discussion on that issue belongs in this section or for threads by persons who wish such a non-restricted discussion.

    Amazon started online. Now they have brick and mortar outlets too. The reverse can work too. In fact, TWeb is a kind of virtual church. Nothing is not replicable in the online version.

    Amazon began as an online organization, now they are present in brick and mortar too. Even churches can do this, everything can be offered online. TWeb is already a type of church.

      In the thread, I said if I did a video it would be "I'm Saved. Now What?" As I think about it, I'm not sure what I would even put into that video. The answer I've picked up over the years seems to be "Go keep doing what you're doing and just add a church attendance, prayer, and Bible Study to your life." That seems woefully inadequate to me and also seems to ignore many verses like Luke 14:26: "If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters - yes, even their own life - such a person cannot be my disciple."

      I'm at a loss on this. What points would you put into the video?

            sounds like Word of Faith stuff to me.

                  You will have to explain better than throwing some random verses out.

                  What do you mean by
                  What do you mean by subdue creation? and 'has the ability to be rescued from danger, even death'?

                  Go into detail as if you were explaining to a child. I am confused.

                    If we answer the question related to a part of the idea, we will understand the main idea.

                    Can we consider that the Promised Land, Rest, is a type, representation of the promise to Abraham, about his descendants definitely being blessings to the world?

                    Can we consider that those who are considered descendants will be identified by faith, confidence, like Abraham had?

                    Can we consider that Israel failed to match up to that requirement?

                      Ya know, it's called "New Testament Christianity" for a reason. The OT is wonderful, and valid, and alive and well, and real --- but we live in a whole new age.

                          When you're dealing with a new Christian, you really need to be very practical and "step by step". Keeping it simple is a huge plus.

                              Because you seem to have the gift of babble. You seem to use a lot of words ans scriptures in a way that doesn't really get a cogent point across.

                              When you're dealing with a new Christian, they often have no biblical foundation, so simply supplying a stream of unrelated scripture verses is not what they need.
