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.

  • Brazilian Christians boycott Netflix over 'Gay Jesus' Christmas film

    Thousands of Brazilian Christians are canceling their subscriptions to Netflix in protest against a movie portraying Jesus as having a homosexual relationship with Satan. Muslims in Brazil have decided to sue the producers of the blasphemous film.

    Over 1.5 million people have signed an online petition urging Netflix to axe the movie and take action against the producers for their "alleged insensitivity toward Christians."

    The First Temptation of Christ (A Primeira Tentacao de Cristo), released on Dec. 3, features a gay Jesus bringing Orlando, his boyfriend, home to meet Mary and Joseph, as well as a love triangle with Joseph, Mary and Jesus as participants.

    Jesus tries to downplay his relationship with Orlando, who hints the pair are more than just friends. Orlando has paired up with Jesus for a 40-day desert trip — linking him to the devil, who tempts Jesus in the wilderness.

    "Jesus, who's hitting the big 3-0, brings a surprise guest to meet the family, but the party holds other surprises," states the Netflix blurb. In addition, there are hints that the conception of Jesus was not virginal and that Mary would betray Joseph.

    Netflix shouldn't be getting a cent of Christian money.

    I was on the verge of canceling Netflix anyway.

    There have been several series my wife and I would start watching, thinking, "this is good - very few cuss words, good message, etc...." then Season 2 is released, and suddenly characters who never swore before are routinely using the F bomb....

    We've pretty much settled on Amazon Video (since it comes with Prime) and Hulu, which gives us our local news stations, as well.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Worth mentioning in a sermon, maybe.

              Reminds me that NASA had up until recently carefully rewritten transcriptions whenever the astronauts swore, replacing them with other sentences.

                This conversation reminds me of an anxious discussion with a fellow catholic. He wanted to now if he was sinning by buying Coca Cola? Why? Because Coca Cola in the US support Planned Parenthood.

                I still have too many shows on Netflix that I watch to spend time sending them an insignificant message. I will however leave a bad review.

                    I don't put a whole lot of stock into online petitions because they're not worth the bandwidth they take up but if there is a more general organized boycott movement in Brazil, I find that interesting. I know organized Christianity in the southern hemisphere tends to be more intense and they generally take their faith more seriously than we do here. I think we have a lot to learn from them.

                    I think it's wise to pick your battles but this one seems worth picking.

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

                            A beautiful part. I got a book about that moment I read a long time ago. They even shared a small communal meal, with bread and wine.

                            My favorite part is a little known, but long discussion about whether a half-eaten can of tuna found floating in the LM module by astronaut Alan L. Bean was edible. Everyone got involved, the engineers, the doctors, the leaders, even Bean's own wife weighed in on it.

                            He later said he already eaten it by the time they got him the answer, but he didn't tell them.

                              I forgot all about that.

                              Like I said - I did IT work for Deke Slayton - way back when PC computers were still pretty new. Deke bought a half dozen motor homes, and we were outfitting them as mobile computer labs. Just as we were ready to launch these things, he was diagnosed with brain cancer, and passed away in 1993. I love his stories --- him and Col. Walter Cunningham would keep us entertained for hours.
