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.

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostWhat verse do you base this claim on?
Christ built the Church among the apostles who are Jews, and that the Jews and Gentiles that believed were under Peter's foundation (Matt 16:18, Act 15:7). The authority of priesthood was still among the Jews, that is why the apostles were preaching unto the Jews "first" (Acts 14:46, 28:20). Seeing the Church is built among the Jews, it was therefore subject unto apostasy together with the apostles and disciples. Thus, Peter spoke of "putting off" his tabernacle (2Pet 2:13). And because of the apostasy of the Church, that the disciples spoke of Gentile elect of God that will believe in the future (Acts 15:14-18, 28:29). Christ himself spoke of calling other believers that were not part of the fold of the apostles and disciples (John 10:16).
So, understand that I did not take it from just a verse.Last edited by FarEastBird; 10-05-2014, 10:01 PM....WISDOM giveth life to them that have it. (Ecclesiastes 7:12)

Originally posted by Christianbookworm View PostThat's why we don't have to know some secret code in the prophecies to be saved. Jesus did all the work for salvation. We just accept that and as a result of being saved, we do good works. Not to earn salvation, but out of gratitude for what Christ did for us.
Also, even some cults have accepted "your" gospel, were they saved?...WISDOM giveth life to them that have it. (Ecclesiastes 7:12)

Originally posted by FarEastBird View PostNot merely verses but prophecies. Mainly of the prophesies regarding the blindness of the Jews, for which salvation will come to the Gentiles, and to provoke the Jews to jealousy. It includes the limited reign of the apostles and disciples unto a thousand years(though not literally a thousand) Rev 20:6. It includes the prophesied overcoming of the beast over the saints(Dan 7:21, Rev 13:7, 11:7)). And, also of Amos 8:11-13. Note also of Paul's warning regarding the decay of the Church; warning them with "tears" (Acts 20:29-31).

That's in the Bible. (hint: in some versions, it's in red letters! )The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
