Interesting YouTube channel brings science and faith together. This playlist has ten short videos. Each one between 2 and 4 minutes in length. Let's discuss. Thanks.

That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe. - 1 Timothy 4:10 NIV So, this says: God is the Savior of all people, and... that will include "believers". Very good news. His salvation of all...

Was planning to put this in the Christian Theology section, but wanted to put this in front of a different audience. I haven't posted in this area for a while. In a conversation this morning I was trying to explain a concept when the descriptor "homeostasis" came to mind. There is a...

Brook Potter “When someone says that Jesus taught about Hell more than anything else in his earthly ministry, it’s obvious that person get’s their theology from Christian Television more so than from study.” One of the most common logical fallacies used by Christians is the fallacy of...

How can God's justice be fulfilled in UR if everyone is saved in the end? Is the wrath of God absent in Christian Universalism? Let's discuss. Thanks.

- What's the difference between the law and the Law? (capital L) - What's the difference between the law and God's law? - What's the difference between the law, God's law, and Christ's law? The law, the Law, God's law, Christ's law; four different things. Agree, or disagree? Points...

How can God's justice be fulfilled in UR if everyone is saved in the end? Is the wrath of God absent in Christian Universalism? Let's discuss. @RayaJade @Patrick1966 @Chadrho @Hillsage

Poll closes in three days from launch. Discussion may continue after that point. Do we worship the God of the old covenant? Cast your vote. Voters can change their votes. Do we worship the God of the old covenant? - Yes, we do worship the God of the OLD covenant. - No, we worship the God...

I see the tab for Poll. But not sure how to set it up. Send help, thanks. I hit post and got this. Oops! We ran into some problems. Please enter a valid poll question. Please enter at least two poll responses.

When many hear about Apokatastasis (the restoration of all things), Universalism, Christian Universalism, Universal Restoration, Universal Reconciliation, Ultimate Redemption, Ultimate Reconciliation, UR... There is an assumption that this is a new idea. Something modern liberal theologians...

I thought Apokatastasis was only a theological term from the early church. Now I come to find out that it is in the Bible as a word in the NT Greek text. Thanks to my good friend and dear brother @Chadrho for pointing it out. Here it is. Acts 3:21 NIV Heaven must receive him until the time...

Bible scholars are leaving Christianity in droves. Why? Not because they don't understand the Bible, obviously. (they're Bible scholars) - Do you have to be Christian to believe in God? - Do you have to agree with the institutional church's positions to believe in God? Previous...

Interesting short video with N.T. Wright and Peter Enns. How does this affect the way we read and understand the Bible?

How we thank God that He sent one Man into this world who did know the way hack to the Father! This Man knew how to order His own steps, and also how to order our steps, when we could not direct them ourselves. We can see it so plainly in a little child. Even after the child learns...

Follow-up to the Was Jesus Orthodox? (or Baptist) topic. The previous thread examined the term 'orthodox". This thread will focus on the term "heretical". In the same way that something is not considered orthodox, it may also be termed as heretical. Thus labeling the person targeted as a...

Follow-up to the "Is Universalism Orthodox."[?] topic. What is this thing with accusations of unorthodox, heretic, heterodox, pagan, etc. Seems like blatant tribalism to me. Us versus them. When will we ever learn? So, was Jesus orthodox? Or did he operate outside the realm of the orthodoxy of...

Interesting to see this from Zondervan. A short, 1:44 minutes video message from Peter Enns about... ... the inerrancy of the Bible as an often contentious topic among evangelicals that needs to be revisited. Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy represents a timely contribution by showcasing the...

Over the years I have noticed a shift away from the embarrassment of the hell doctrine. It had always seemed like the "fly in the ointment" of Christianity to me. But we had biblical evidence that it was sad, but true. The solution was evangelism. We are in the business of "saving souls from...

It is a strange theory that obsesses men that the human will is greater in power than God, and that, no matter what the will of God is for His creatures, man is able finally to wreck it. It is a curious hypothesis that states that although the Holy Spirit seeks to woo all men to Christ, since...

Seven questions: 1) Would a good God punish me for asking the hard questions? 2) Why do I believe what I believe? 3) Is this a good reason to believe in this? 4) Is belief, or faith, a good measure for morality? 5) Have I explored other religions to the extent that I explored...
