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.

    Hebrews 8:13

    13 By saying, a new covenant, He has declared that the first is old. And what is old and aging is about to disappear.

    What does this verse mean?

    Thank you.

    That Jesus is the High Priest of a better covenant. Check verses 18-22.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Hebrews 8 ends with verse 13.

        I think he's talking about Hebrews 7 verses 18-22.

          Probably so, because I "scrolled up" to see it --- I'll have a look at it again in a bit.

          Yes!

            The Old Covenant served its purpose till Christ came.

              It means that the law has served its purpose. Having been fulfilled, it is no longer in force.
              Galatians 3
              17What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously
              established by God, so as to cancel the promise. 18For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it
              no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
              19Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to
              whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator. 20A mediator is
              unnecessary, however, if there is only one party; but God is one.
              21Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that
              could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law. 22But the Scripture
              pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to
              those who believe.
              23Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be
              revealed. 24So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
              25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

              Scripture before Tradition:
              but that won't prevent others from
              taking it upon themselves to deprive you
              of the right to call yourself Christian.
