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.

    But neither of them asked for directions on how to get to Jerusalem. So they had to be men.

        According to Luke 24:13-35, the two disciples had left Jerusalem and were going to the village of Emmaus when Jesus encountered them. The recognition of Jesus took place in Emmaus as they are described after recognizing Him as returning immediately to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples that they had seen Him.

          Yes.... so.... are you adding something? and it was the breaking of bread in their house that seemed to have triggered the recognition.

            Of course we know they can't post anything on the Internet unless it's true.

                I'm just pointing that Faber's post had them going the wrong direction.

                  My question is why couldn't they recognize him? Were they only peripherally in his circle so they didn't know his face well? Did he look different (do they shave the beard off when they bury someone?) or was it something 'magical' where Jesus kept them from recognizing him?

                    No, I think that God revealed himself to them at the time he considered it to be right. It just took place at the breaking of the bread. I think it was concealed on purpose until the time was perfect.

                      Not magical, but divinely concealed until Christ had explained everything to them. They may not have been in the inner circle of disciples, but they surely would otherwise have recognized him unless it had been concealed until the time was right for Jesus to reveal it to them.

                          Because they were holden!

                          The way the sentence is structures, I'm thinking they were so intent in their 'problem' that they didn't actually look at Him, and it wasn't in God's time for them to recognize Him.

                            Mary Magdalene (inner circle) also didn't recognise Jesus after his resurrection and thought he was the gardener. I haven't looked up why yet.

                              I think the traditional explanation was something like - she didn't expect to see Him, and here eyes were filled with tears.

                                it was early in the morning and he could have been in shadow?
