Poor organization of topics seems to be a problem for forums.
Part of the issue is those posting do not stay on topic – sometimes because there is no specific topic provided for the subject. I am attempting to locate a category to post the topic “How important is bearing fruit?” The unrewarded search motivated this communiqué.
May I suggest categories for “Christian Life”
Some of the sub topics under Edification and others might be moved to the Christian Life category. The reasoning why “Christian Peppers” would be under “Edification” escapes understanding. Maybe prepping is what the saintless do to equip?

I am bewildered by the choice of theological or doctrinal topics.
The forum has chosen to use a very few theological categories as subject categories but has avoided using the majority and has not organized topics like “Dispensationalism” under both Soteriology and Eschatology.
The forum uses these theological categories according to my skimpy inspection:
Hamartiology - belongs under Anthropology
Eschatology
Paterology - belongs under Divinity
Christology - belongs under Divinity
Pneumatology - belongs under Divinity
Ecclesiology
Soteriology
Sacramentalism – belongs under Ecclesiology
Hagiography
Also the forum seems to use these and maybe some other doctrinal categories as theological categories:
Mariology
Dispensationalism
Could the forum’s theological section be organized under these categories?
It seems all of the more specific theologies or doctrines are within these categories.
Divinity – Divine Nature, Paterology, Christology, Pneumatology
Teleology Creation
Epistemology – Revelation, Inspiration, Illumination, Hermeneutics
Anthropology and Hamartiology
Theodicy
Theonomy
Soteriology
Ecclesiology
Eschatology – Death, End Times, After Life, Judgment
Hagiology
Apologetics
Anthropology and Hamartiology, Soteriology, and Ecclesiology need a number of sub-topics to delineate the subject.
Hope this encourages some ideas among the administration.
