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.

    No, I still think I saw you make the comment - I know I saw it and I'd have sworn it was you. I remember seeing your postbit, but I can't find it and I take your word that it wasn't you and therefore I was mistaken.

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Is this where I curse and swear, and declare I never knew you?

        Seriously, I have no idea what you're talking about, and why would I.....

              I think he's nine. We should have pitched in and gotten him some Tonka toys at Christmas.

                  I tried to do a search for me ever even mentioning the Left Behind series, and came up empty.

                    That quote is the one I thought you made and that KG had agreed with.

                      I think this is pretty much the answer to my question....

                      I'd think that's the general consensus I'm getting.

                        Um, Jim, this is in Christianity 101. Given that you have been mentioned, I think CP would probably allow you in the thread but you cannot be argumentative about Christian belief here.

                        CP, if you're satisfied that you have your answer, I'd like to recommend moving the thread.

                          Jim was not responding to anything said to him or even about him - he was simply snarking at OBP in particular, and Christians in general, mocking Christianity.

                          I think I got the answer I was looking for, so, as far as I'm concerned, the thread can be closed.

                            Yep, thanks Tea, my bad. Mistook it for my own thread of which this is an offshoot.
