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.

  • Doing Home Church

    My wife and I have found ourselves between churches again. I am scheduled for surgery in a couple months and then we are planning to move. The distance we are moving and we only have a general area we're planning to move into, makes going there now and joining a church unrealistic. So we are home churching ourselves for I would say is at least the next six months.

    Any thoughts or suggestions on how to make it work?
    "For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

    "Theology can be an intellectual entertainment." Metropolitan Anthony Bloom

    Is it just you and your wife? I'd suggest finding some other people to join you. If that's not feasible, I'd recommend you find a good church who broadcasts or podcasts their services and listen to that together, and then the two of you discuss it afterwards.

      My husband, son and I have been home churching for 7 years. There are no churches in our area that teach sound doctrine and so we are content to stay within our home.

      We sing hymns together for 30-45 minutes, then we watch an archived sermon by "our" pastor, then we watch the livestream of that Sunday morning service.

      We usually watch another archived sermon in the evening, and once a month my husband leads us in communion.

      We usually start at about 9 am and are finished for the morning usually at about 1 pm.

        What church are you watching, if you don't mind me asking?

          Grace Community. Yes, it's John MacArthur.

          We've been listening to him for 40 years and it was natural to us to livestream the services. Wonderful music, hymns that glorify God and not the people singing them, and wonderful expounding on God's word.
