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.

  • Babylon Bee

    I saw this Babylon Bee article and one of the first things I thought was, "Heh, I can think of a person or two who should see this."

    Well played Babylon Bee, well played. You got me.

    RICHMOND, VA—Local woman Lisa Whitaker told sources on Sunday she hopes her husband James listened closely to their pastor’s sermon on self-righteousness. The sermon, taken from Matthew 7, centered around Jesus’ famous exhortation to remove the log from one’s own eye before pointing out the speck in someone else’s. As soon as the pastor began preaching, Lisa knew the message was perfectly suited for her husband, sources confirmed.



    Lisa stated she believes the pastor specifically wrote the sermon with James in mind, as the pastor glanced in James’ direction several times during the message. “James really needs to examine himself,” she explained. “Isn’t that the point of the passage? Examine yourself before you criticize others? I’ve told him many times to do that, but he won’t.”

    “Honestly, if he would just listen to me, things would go well for him. Maybe the pastor can get through to him, but I doubt it,” she sighed.

    Lisa was also heard thanking God that she regularly reads her Bible, always listens carefully to sermons, and is not stiff-necked and prideful like her husband.

    At publishing time, sources had further confirmed that her husband was really hoping his proud wife had listened carefully to the sermon and taken it to heart.

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

          Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...
