Is this place for general conservatives?

[Dominus Fidelis]

I'm a conservative Catholic, but I'm not a fundamentalist, if that term refers to Protestant Fundamentalism.

Is this a good place for me?

[CHARLES H]

i guess what is your question?

Is this a good place for a conservative, but not Protestant, person to post?

well at least we are starting off on the right foot.

Jesus is Lord, the Trinity is truth, and by God's grace we are saved.

How's that? :wave:

[Lynn73]

I can agree with those statements.

This is a great place for you to post. As a non fundamentalist you should know that some rules apply to what you can post tho...

3) Non-Fundamentalist (as defined above) members can only post fellowship posts here or posts to ask a question regarding Fundamentalist doctrine. Once the question is answered, there shall be no debate over the answer in this forum by the Non-Fundamentalist members. Any debate posts by Non-Fundamentalist members will be deleted. In other words, only Fundamentalist members can debate here.

As long as you stick to the type of posts that you are making now you will be fine.

Welcome and keep up the good posts =)

Hmm...let's see if I can cause some trouble...

I'm having some doubts about the deity of Christ, and I'm thinking of joining the Moonies. ;)

J/K!! I came up with a long list of things NOT to say when I had my interview to get licensed as a minister. That was one of them! This thread made me think of that, lol!

[Dominus Fidelis]

Thanks...I just read the rules and I don't believe in Sola Scriptura, so perhaps this isn't a place for me, doh!

You can still hang out and fellowship if you want though. :thumbsup:

Thank you

What is Sola Scripture :scratch:

[e=mv^2]

What is Sola Scripture



Sola Scriptura is latin for "Scripture alone" and means that Scripture is the only infallible rule for deciding issues of faith and practices that involve doctrines. In other words - we do not need a pope to do that for us.

[ethereal hope]

Hey, I believe in the inerrant word of God, but I also believe that God can speak and work through others (the church) and we "sheep" should submit to those "shepherds". That is, that God didn't stop talking at Revelation (just that He stopped writing Scripture).

Up until this thread, I thought I was a fundamentalist too. (Actually, I thought Catholics in general and other conservative Christians were "fundies". I think I picked that up from the news, around the time B16 became Pope and the newsies were arguing about how Catholics affect the nations.)

Of course, like Bereans, we should ALL measure a church by the Bible. Bereans measured Paul, even with all his miracles and proofs. And Paul didn't discourage it, but applauded it. I have a feeling that those who first heard Isaiah and the other prophets measured what they said against what scripture was available at the time, too. It SAYS to do that in Deuteronomy.

I guess I'm not seeing where Catholics aren't fundamentalists. Maybe I'm missing the definition of sola scriptura. (Heh, I sorta thought it meant, you can't believe the Bible AND the Koran, or the Bible AND the Book of Mormon. *shrug*)

Well, you could always start a thread on OBOB and ask them if they are Sola Scriptura..........but I'd advise against it. :)

Sola Scriptura, Scripture Alone, means just that. It means that there is nothing equal to Scripture. I don't know how it is in your church, but the Catholic church holds Sacred Tradition on a par with Scripture so that would disqualify them from being considered "Fundamentalists" per this forum.

In fact they would be the first to tell you that they consider Sola Scriptura a heresy. Which, according to their Tradition, it is.

Though the subtitle for this forum does say it's for fundamental and conservative Christians. :scratch:

MOD HAT ON:

A member must be a Fundamentalist as defined in the Forum Specific Rules in order to debate in this forum. That itself is not up for debate.

As always any member is welcome to post fellowship style posts in the Fundamentalist forum.

MOD HAT OFF

[alban]

Well in that case i believe the subtitle for the forum should be changed.

I think you're right. Thanks for noticing that and bringing it to my attention! :thumbsup:

[alban]

If i may ask though, there are a large number of conservative Christians who are not fundamental. Where are we to go?

What makes you conservative? Do you mean politically? Or do you mean you are against modernism creeping into your church?

[alban]

Well i am conservative politically, but i meant more theologically.

Theologically i'm closer to our Roman Catholic brothers who are 'fundamental in a number of respects ie. emphasis on family etc, but not fundamental with attitute to things such as scripture (it is to be understood through the church) or salavtion (faith and works).

Hmm, well we do have a Liberal Theology forum........do you feel like suggesting a Conservative Theology forum over here: http://www.christianforums.com/f395-suggest-new-forums.html ?

If you do link it in here and I'll head over and voice support for it as well.

[alban]

Thanks :wave:
