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.

  • What Would You Teach About Angels?

    My Wednesday night lesson is about angels.

    What would you teach if you were teaching on Angels?
    Common myths you'd bust, unknown (or little known) facts you'd present

    There are some obvious points, but I'll let you get started.

    Don't worship them! And stranger danger? Like don't try to contact angels? Isn't that a dangerous new age thingy?
    If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

            There's some "Christian" song about a loved one passing away and winging their way to Heaven to become an angel. A Church I visited once had that as their "special music" -- some cute young thang sang it with much emotion, and I wanted to yell "BUNK!!!! WE DON'T BECOME ANGELS!!!!!"

              I did a whole study on angels a number of years ago, and I can post my "essay" if you'd like.

              It's really long........

                You and me both think weird, so I'd probably enjoy it!

                  Well, yeah, we both do think weird, but I don't think my study is weird!

                      It also discusses Satan, as he is also an angel. Do you want that part, too?

                          I'm attaching it instead of copying and pasting the whole thing. It's long, don't say I didn't warn you!

                          Use what you'd like if you think it's valuable to your study.

                              I have addressed that.
