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.

    Actually the analogy pretty much fails in today's society. Forget filling a theater with a plate of food. Today we have entire cable channels devoted to food and people taking pictures of their food and posting it on facebook. Food Porn is a thing.

      Chef Alton Brown talked about this a bit in a Hot Ones interview (in case you're unfamiliar with it, Hot Ones is where a host interviews famous guests while they both eat increasingly hot wings). He points out how he sort of regrets being part of the whole food culture thing in America, or rather, he regrets how the Food Network spun it from being about cooking good food to what it is today, which is essentially food porn.

      I see the whole culture of it as a weird over-correction to the American diet pre-90s. From about, what, the 40s to the 90s America had a horribly bland and heavily processed diet that mostly came in boxes, cans, and frozen packaging. In the 90s we saw the advent or the spreading of a number of premium brands, and an interest in exotic foods. At the same time the whole micro-brew thing started as well as the middle class growing interest in finer wines as opposed to boxed stuff, wine coolers, and Bartles and Jaymes. The health and organic movements really ramped up. Major "health food" stores like Whole Foods started franchising. It all seemed to happen all at once, and I loved it. Having all of those options, and eating fresh food was like a color blind man seeing the full range for the first time. But yeah, it's become obsessive at this point, and we've swung so far the opposite way that it's become unhealthy again.

          • To specifically get to why any of this is wrong and what separates it from art per se, you need a theology of art (which the church has had a mixed view of in its history).

                  I never got the whole taking photos of your food and posting it to facebook thing. Sure if you made something cool and want to show off your cooking skill, then it is OK, or if you are sharing a recipe. But a lot of people just take a photo of their regular dinner plate and post it, or when they eat out. Seems just weird. I don't go over to my friends house and show them snapshots of the food I ate that week.

                    I do it every now and then if I've had something amazing, and I want to show others how amazing it was. I also DO go over friends houses and show them snapshots of food I ate. Also do it with co-workers (and they do the same). Like I'll be, "dude, I just went to this AMAZING burger joint in Detroit, check out the pictures of how big and amazing this burger is!"

                      Maybe you should use sarcasm tags.

                            • Oh, well, I was just thinking about the posts condemning "food porn", but I was wondering, for the sake of argument, what made it any different from going to an art gallery and looking at depictions of other things.
