    New blog answer the question "what is theology" from as many perspectives as possible.

I am currently working on a Karl Barth answer and hope to continue on with other important theologians. I also want...

    Rapture....

    As it stands, I do not believe in the rapture but I am curious and always open to learn and so my question is, for those of you who do believe in the rapture, what brought you to that belief? And what biblical references back up that belief? Thanks!

    Spiritual Attack

    Hello fellow Christians!! I am completely new to this site so please so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong section (feel free to move this thread to the relevant section if so). I've come under the realisation this evening that I think I have been subjected to spiritual attack for the last...

    Padre Pio answer to dilemmatic theology question

    Dear my brothers and sisters in Christ, A while ago I watched the movie "Padre Pio." In that movie, the "Catholic church authorities" (I don't know how I should address them) investigated Padre Pio's divine experience. At one scene, it showed that Padre Pio whispered to one of those authorities...

    LDS The 'beginning' of God in Mormonism

    In a recent thread on the LDS concept of God, an LDS poster stated that "God had a father, who had a father, who had a father..." (and so on), which has me wondering: if God/gods in Mormonism are all the result of this kind of reproduction, then where does Mormonism's original God figure come...

    Rapture will happen..does it matter when?

    This thread is to discuss what is important. does it truly matter when the rapture happens? Or does it matter more what we do until then seeing as how the bible states that we will never know the time, day, month, or year? THIS IS ONLY FOR DEBATE NOT CONVERTING. If it gets to wild and people...

    LDS Popular LDS hymns as a window on Mormon theology

    Hello all, In the thread "Joseph Smith's claim of an apostasy is a lie", I tried without success to apply the basic Christian principle of lex orandi, lex credendi (the law of prayer is the law of belief) to Mormonism by looking at what their worship could tell us about their theology. That...

    Not getting along well with someone

    I have been at my wit's end with somebody. He is a Christian but I find him judgmental and radical. Today when I mentioned Harvest Crusade and Greg Laurie, he went on and on about how he was antagonized by Calvary chapel pastors. But I think that is judging an entire denomination based on the...

    LDS Did LDS at one time teach that Jesus is the Father?

    If the video below by former LDS Bishop Earl Erskine is correct about changes evident from comparing the first edition of the Book of Mormon and the current edition (as well as changes Joseph Smith made to the Bible itself in his translation of it), it seems that they did. I have heard about the...

    Checking for sound theology

    I am wanting to make a short video (~1-2 minute) with a concise, dense, accurate message of the gospel.I am aware it's possible to mistakenly write things which aren't true, which is why I'm asking this. My memory of specific verses isn't very good so making sure/biblically proving, all of which...

    Biblical Theology forum?

    Because there are various forums for different types of theologies and that Traditional Theology encompasses a wide variety of differing points of view I was hoping there could be a forum created that is strictly for Biblical Theology using only the Bible in the discussions.

    Horton Hears a Heretic!

    This is a rebuttal to Dr. Michael Horton's 1991 videos condemning the Word of Faith movement and teachers. He clearly didn't know what he was talking about back then, but prior to publishing the video I emailed him and asked him if he stands by what he said in the videos and he responded in the...
