Unorthodox Theology 201 Guidelines

Theists only.

This forum area is primarily for persons who would identify themselves as Christians whether or not their theology is recognized within the mainstream or as orthodox though other theists may participate with moderator permission. Therefore those that would be restricted from posting in Christianity 201 due to a disagreement with the enumerated doctrines, ie 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 may freely post here on any theological subject matter. In this case "unorthodox" is used in the strict sense of a person who denies what has been declared as universal essentials of the historic Christian faith. Examples would be adherents to Oneness, Full Preterists, Unitarian Universalist Christians, Gnostics, Liberal Christianity, Christian Science to name a few.

The second purpose will be for threads on subjects, which although the thread starter has no issue with the above doctrines, the subject matter is so very outside the bounds of normative Christian doctrine totally within the leadership's discretion that it is placed here. In so doing, no judgment or offense is intended to be placed on the belief of said person in the above-doctrines. In this case "unorthodox" is used in a much looser sense of "outside the norms" - Examples of such threads would be pro-polygamy, pro-drug use, proponents of gay Christian churches, proponents of abortion.

The third purpose is for persons who wish to have input from any and all who would claim the title of Christian even on subjects that would be considered "orthodox."

The philosophy behind this area was to recognize that there are persons who would identify themselves as Christian and thus seem out of place in the Comparative Religions Forum, but yet in keeping with our committment here to certain basic core Christian doctrines. Also, it allows threads to be started by those who would want to still be identified as Christian with a particular belief that while not denying an essential is of such a nature that the discussion on that issue belongs in this section or for threads by persons who wish such a non-restricted discussion.

    They might do that anyway.


    Mostly because I can't remember until I see it.........

      Me neither. I just know that most unorthox folk seem to have a problem with us using riposte. Course there are some orthodox Christians who get offended by the tweb snark factory also, but it seems to be others who get even more riled up about it.
      If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

        They don't want to hear the truth. They want their ears tickled. And, oh, boy, who wouldn't want to believe in a God who does whatever you tell him to? Give me health, and wealth and all good things according to MY will, not yours!

        (And I meant that I couldn't remember the name of the person I was thinking of. But I will, eventually).

          No thanks. I'd rather have an eternity in the presence of God. Eternal salvation > the whole world

          What would it profit a man to gain the whole world, but lose his soul? (I know that's a quote from somewhere, probably from Someone who was very wise)
