• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

where to post a speculative alternative explanation thread?

This board I'm not as yet familiar with has a labyrinth of sub-forums. I am wondering which forum would be appropriate to create a thread for discussing alternative explanations to scripture that don't reflect that of any current Christian denominations? I have numbers of unique speculative explanations. For instance an alternative to the interpretation of the NT miracle of Jesus walking on water.

Hi @Davidz777, here is one board that might work (but you should still read the SoP for that board): Controversial Christian Theology

If your ideas are really off the wall, then this board might work in certain circumstances (again, check the board rules before posting): Conspiracy Theories

Off course, you may just have to ask a mod, unorthodox idea by unorthodox idea, to really be sure.

I also see that you are Catholic, so there is OBOB, but I'm assuming that your ideas wouldn't fly very well there either?

Didn't there used to be an "Unorthodox Theology" sub-forum?

Recently after not visiting the board for a few years, I did post something on an old thread in the Controversial Theories forum and some of the responses seemed to be distressed that I might suggest such an idea. In that case I briefly related the opinion that omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence of God dominant in Christian denominations was dogma weakly supported by scripture and is one of the impossible divides between science and religion. I don't want to frighten members in this community with my science centric ideas as I know the majority have strong opinions on inerrancy and infallibilty I also reject. I a Christian seeking eternal life salvation, am seeking truth whether such comes from scripture, science, or reasoned logic in this modern era of information. Note I didn't debate any of the responses but it did give me reasons to ask the question herein.

You're right, there was, but I think CF changed the name to Controversial Christian Theology.

Back when I still had access to the Controveresial
Christian Theology forum, I participated in discussions
regading soteriology that were unorthodox. Even
though such topics are allowed there, the reception
thereof will often be quite chilly.
