What is Scripture’s major theme and purpose?
Published by Jeff, on March 13th, 2006 in 24 Theological Questions, Front Page.This is the my answer to the first of the “24 Theological Questions”
The central theme of the Bible is God’s work at creating for himself a unified family of people who worship and love him. He does this despite the repeated efforts of people to run away. In theological terms, the story of the Bible is Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Re-Creation.
How would you defend the authority of Scripture?
Published by Jeff, on March 14th, 2006 in 24 Theological Questions, Front Page.Theological Question #2
One of the most foundationally important issues when it comes to any religious or theological belief system is the understanding of where the authority for one’s belief originates. Catholics look to the traditions and history of the church, but Protestants (and more specifically, Evangelicals) recognize the Bible as the sole authority for matters of faith. Here are a few key reasons I personally believe in the complete authority of Scripture over every other human or institution.
3. Where do you stand on the inerrancy of Scripture and why?

The question of Biblical “inerrancy” has been raised a number of times particularly in the past 50 years or so. Before answering this question, I think it’s important to simply highlight what the real issue is. » Click here to read the rest. «
I loved reading this entire debate. This really goes to show how often all Christians are lumped together in people's opinions. People like to believe that all Christians are hateful and judgmental, but while homosexuals,homosexual advocates, or non-believers are accusing Christians of these things they are themselves guilty of the same. The reason why I came to this page in the first place is because I have a friend who is gay and we've been debating back in forth on the gay rights agenda and whether or not being a homosexual is a sin, and he told me to watch the movie that your original post was about. I suppose he wants me to watch it so I can see that you can be a Christian and a homosexual at the same time. I guess I need to see it for myself so I can form my own opinion, but I really appreciate you taking the time to give your opinion and then to defend it to someone who decided to make it very personal against you. I very much admire your level head throughout in the face of such animosity.
