This area of discussion is open for any theological topic. Please remember a few simple principles if you decide to write in this area.
Users are not adversaries here. They are brothers and sisters in Christ. Part of the learning experience is groping for the truth, and it is often difficult work. If you are blessed to have particular experience or education in a subject, share it with kindness. It is important not to aggrandize your argument by belittling the points, or the person, of another.
By the same token, if you hold a view and find it challenged by another, take a moment to consider whether you are being offered an opportunity to develop your ideas. It is possible you may not be as on top of the issue as you first thought. There is nothing demeaning in learning something new.
The administrators of The Anomaly would rather see something along the lines of "come let us reason together" than anything of the "I'm right, you're wrong" variety.
Sometimes you may feel quite strongly about your viewpoint, and want to make your best case, but no matter how strongly you believe your view to be the best one, please remember to put it across in a way which is in keeping with the Christian nature of this site.
Our Heavenly Father is the Father of reason as well as revelation and expects us to use both with care and consideration. Otherwise our little area for theological issues has failed in His service.
May God give you glory!
