The concept of privilege is becoming more and more commonly deployed in modern political discourse. It is often used in discussions of race (white privilege), gender issues (male privilege), and sexuality issues (straight privilege). For this discussion, I am less interested in those specific instances of privilege and more interested in a general discussion of privilege from a Christian perspective.

To which I ask, what is the proper Christian response to privilege?

Some questions to spark discussion:
Do privilege exist? If it does, how does the Bible discuss privilege? Is privilege inherently good, bad, or neutral? How should a Christian support or oppose privilege? How should a Christian think about privilege? Is there a different...

one is abolished, one is fulfilled... there is an immediate product that they share.... what is it?

What is the Gift of Prophecy, and has it ceased?

Is it to be used in churches today?

Is it moral to use the end times to scare people into salvation?

As a Man of God I wanna apologize for not being clear in one of my posts. Some of you understood where I was coming from but some didn't and that's why I'm addressing it again because I want us all to be on the same page. I am a humble Man and If i'm wrong I will admit it. I was not wrong in what I posted but I was not as clear as I should have been. I posted that as a Born again Christian we are forgiven by the Blood of Christ and we do not have to keep asking God everyday for forgiveness because He has already forgiven us. Now I left it there, which is what caused the misunderstanding. And again I am sorry. I was referring to "Positional Forgiveness" The scripture that was referenced by another brother was 1 john 1:9. So let me say...

When?

There's no rapture in the Bible, there's no rapture of the church, cos lk 1 his kingdom has no end, the church remains to the end, the second coming

The purpose of this thread is to post any theological statement you want, but it cannot be divisive. It must be universally edifying.

Two men are reading the same bible, one is always alone, the other is always in [high] Church services.

Which one is apt to see the services in the written scripture when any portion of one is mentioned?

Forgive me...

Hello, I am a 19-year-old fellow Christian, and I have plenty of concerns regarding the Pre-Tribulation Rapture (PTR).

Scroll down for TL;DR.

Some of my favorite bible teachers, and preachers believe in the PTR. I never had a strong belief in it, but always kind of assumed it did exist, mostly because of the Left Behind movies/books, and the people I listened to. I like studying end times prophecy, and so, upon doing my own research, I started to doubt it's existence. I think that PTR believers' interpretation of Revelation is fairly accurate, with the coming Beast and tribulation (however, I'm not sure it's going to be exactly seven years long, because Revelation isn't specific enough), but I don't see any evidence that Christians...
