Christian Discussion Thread XI: Anicetus’ Revenge

Postby Tarsonis » Sun Dec 29, 2019 11:19 pm

This is the Eleventh version of the Christian discussion thread, where participants can discuss Christianity in general, the differences between the denominations, general comparative theology (both within and without Christianity), Church history, and many other topics.

While discussion naturally covers a broad range of themes, members of the moderation team (including those participating in the thread), may occasionally gently suggest that some topics might be best taken to a separate thread; this will usually only occur when a subject is itself the subject of discussion in recurring separate NSG threads and would risk dominating this thread if discussed here (examples include, but are not limited to, abortion, homosexuality, the existence of the historical Jesus and/or the existence of God.)


Note: This is a place for Good faith discussion between those wishing to learn and discover. It is not a place to tilt at the religious members of NSG.

Just a thought I had that the people in this thread might find interesting:

What does following Christ mean to you?

As someone familiar with Christianity I thought I might as well ask. Thanks!

Well, "new people" as "not-same people" could either mean:
1) someone got lost (not so good)
2) someone new joined (pretty good)

Or if we take the thread and year not as separate from their previous, but as just continuations of them, the people too then are continuations of our past year selves :p
