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.

  • Weird Question about a Debate

    Wasn't really sure where to ask this, but it popped into my head and is now irritating me.

    I remember quite some time ago, I read about how shortly after a debate, someone that William Lane Craig (at least I'm pretty sure it was Craig, might have been someone else, but it was a notable apologist) debated against actually converted to Christianity. I read about this a long time ago--I'm pretty sure it was at least a decade--but it just recently popped into my head. Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me remember who the name of the converted was. Does anyone know who they were?

    Just to be clear, this wasn't Antony Flew I'm thinking of.

    Darren Rasberry?
    "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

      I don't think it's Darrin Rasberry. I looked and didn't see anything about him converting shortly after a public debate.

      I remember this because it was mentioned as a new item in some apologetics newsletter I used to be subscribed to, but unfortunately I no longer seem to have the e-mail. It just sort of randomly popped back into my head and I've been trying to figure out who it was.

      Based on my vague memories of when I read it, I believe this would've happened somewhere in the 2002-2008 era. Okay, so that's sort of vague, but I know it was a pretty long time ago.

        It was Richard Dawkins.
