    Aussie Church Failing?

    This is an interesting point. Being a Christian out of community is completely outside the New Testament understanding! You couldn’t be a Christian outside of community, because who you related to, was were you go your identity. Secondly, if you converted to Christianity you were kicked out of...

    The Anything Goes Chat Thread.

    Come on Bev, you've got to keep up. lol;) One of the key changes in postmodernity is the deconstructed human. People’s lives have become like the English country side. There lives are cut up into little chucks, hedged off so they don’t collide. So people have a ‘work world’, ‘church world’...

    Well it is ment to be Postmodernity.... So out of the greenhouse into the hothouse, here is my view on modernity; To understand postmodernity we need to understand modernity. By ‘Modern world’, I suggest roughly spans from the 18th century to the present. Characterised by the European...

    The Anything Goes Chat Thread.

    Ok, I’ve started writing my view on postmodernity. To understand postmodernity, you need to understand modernity. The problem is I’ve already written a page on modernity and haven’t even started on postmodernity.

    I am so so so stupid! (This isn't a status Anxiety thread)

    I hate how it’s always the obvious places. I use to love the end of exam periods, as I was able to but literally 50-60 books back in my book case.

    A fantastic question, I just don’t have the time right now to give my complete view. I really like what Bishop N.T Wright has written on the topic of postmodernity. With the deconstructed human and lost of meta-narrative. I found what Blessed-one quoted as a decent exegesis of postmodernity...

    Now come on Icy, don't be like that. It's not personal; it's just I’m willing to challenge some of your doctrines. I’m sure there are a lot more that we agree on than we disagree. For my position on homosexuality read the following scholars; Slaves, Women & Homosexuals: Exploring the...

    This is a joke, right? As someone who has spent years studying New Testament theology, I find your position poor and weak at best. Do you even know what postmodernity is? It has nothing to do with “people thinking people have a little good in them”! Can you name one recent published...

    Icy, you're right, i am intolerant of homosexuality within the church, as Paul was! Intolerance and tolerance are relative terms. What i tolerate, is not what others tolerate. In Paul’s day, some Christians and nearly all Hellenists tolerated sexual relations out of wedlock. Paul did not...

    Dispensationalism

    Dispensationalism is an excuse for no experience of the Spirit. You want to read some Dispensational deconstruction, Gordon Fee, Paul the Spirit and the People of God, would be a good start. If you get through that you can look at anything written by Max Turner.
