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.

    But was this a Roman trial or a Jewish one? The Romans may have had different legal requirements.
    It would really be helpful if you used the quote function, as it provides hyperlinks that can take us back to the original content. Often, there's context there that's necessary.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      re: "You are correct in the case of modern English idiom. But you are incorrect in the case of Roman idiom. If Tom was crucified on Saturday, the ancient Romans would have said on Sunday that it is (today: Sunday) the second day after/since Tom was crucified."

      What actual example/s from the period are you using to to make that assertion?
      For one example, that's how days on the calender were called. The Kalends was the first day of each month. So the Kalends of February was February 1st. And the last days of the previous month were referred to by their relation to the following Kalends. Thus:

      "January 30 was dies tertius ante Kal. Feb. [literally "the third day before February 1st"] (the third day back in the row -- 30, 31, 1)."

        The eighth hour = 1 to 2 pm
        The ninth hour = 2 to 3 pm
        The tenth hour = 3 to 4 pm
        The eleventh hour = 4 to 5 pm
        The twelfth hour = 5 to 6 pm
        Oh, midday is 12 pm, I thought it was 12 am ...

        Either way, the line between 6th and 7th hours at midday was the one constant regardless of season. The rest is true at equinox, either of them, twice a year with surrounding weeks. In Rome, this system means an hour varies between 45 and 75 equinoctial minutes, or 3 and 5 quarters of an equinoctial hour in length.

          It was a Hebrew sham trial and then a Roman giving in to hysterics despite trying to make a trial.
