What does it mean to be saved?


: Yes, I think we should probab: Yes, I think we should probably take much more seriously the this-worldly aspect of salvation. Nebuchadnezzar goes from overweening pride (4:30) through a process of extreme abasement and humiliation... (04/09/2003 - 10:52)
: So I guess to me...: I’ve increasingly come to a place of saying… Salvation is not just “the prayer and be done”… But I was saved as I prayed in the car with my parents as a child... (04/09/2003 - 10:51)
: Nebuchadnezzer was saved?: In a sense….I say cautiously….but yes… I remember hearing a speaker that upended my understanding of salvation. He talked about how anytime one encounters a new... (04/09/2003 - 10:50)
Andrew Perriman: Welcome to OST, TheologyOnTap!: I tried to take the idea of wonder a bit further in a separate thread. I don’t know if that was at all suggestive. It might also be worth exploring the salvation as position argument in another... (04/09/2003 - 10:48)
: Also...: Also, Salvation as a matter of location…not as being “saved from”, but as “saved TO” something. could Saved=Moved? Moved from one place, locale, state of being... (04/09/2003 - 10:43)
: What is wonder?: :) Well, I’m new here to the forum…and this is a great place to weigh in as I find this particular topic of great interest to me. Salvation as the “restoration of wonder... (04/09/2003 - 10:24)
: I think that "saved" is a pos: I think that “saved” is a position. We human beings must be placed in that position. I define that position as being “in right standing with God”. What do I mean by that?... (02/09/2003 - 13:08)
: Quoted: "Postmodernism has al: Quoted: “Postmodernism has alerted us to the power of language to misrepresent and manipulate. It does seem worth going back and rethinking (not merely restating) even these fundamental issues... (02/09/2003 - 13:05)
: I'm beginning to like this em: I’m beginning to like this emphasis on wonder more and more. I’m in the process of putting some articles on the site from a colloquium on transcendence that I attended in Oxford. The... (02/09/2003 - 12:59)
: What does it mean to be saved?: I think that there may be a problem with the question. Salvation is what it is. The “definition” of salvation does not change with the times. Just because we live in a postmodern context... (02/09/2003 - 12:55)

Does God know the future?


: Does God know the future?: The role of the prophet is not to predict or reveal secret plans but to perceive and pronounce - to commentate if you will, to stand and be prepared to say, ‘the king is naked’ in the... (04/09/2003 - 10:04)
: Does God know the future?: David’s making some good and important points here - a point about prophesy that occurred to me in connection with the question ‘does God know the future’ hangs on how we understand... (04/09/2003 - 10:02)
: Does God know the future?: One of my issues with the idea of an omnipotent deity who also is omniscient and supposedly all-merciful and all-loving, is that it really does create an unresolvable paradox on one level or another... (04/09/2003 - 10:01)

Rebuilding common ground


: Rebuilding common ground: I like this idea of having a space that is out there (outside the church) as a way of having common ground. At our church I can think of two ways we have done this with varying degrees of ... (03/09/2003 - 19:02)

What is post-evangelicalism?


: Post-evangelicalism: There are some good points you make here Andrew and I too have been wrestling with these in my own mind. I will try to add what I can to the discussion here: 1. At this point I do think that... (03/09/2003 - 18:45)

Return to the nameless? emerging understanding of 'god'


: Naming God: yes - i can see the issues here….. actually the “photon 43” thing was in retrospect a moment in a conversation & probably not worth including in the thread!…. really i was... (03/09/2003 - 14:11)
: Naming God: Ian, I can see the point of trying to dump the baggage associated with the word ‘god’, particularly when it comes to conversations with atheists and agnostics. In fact, I guess we all... (01/09/2003 - 12:52)

Outline of an emerging theology


: I can answer my own question.: I can answer my own question. Andrew’s article here discusses it near the end. (18/07/2003 - 10:01)
: Relocated eschatology: I think you’ve worded this very well. I’d be interested to see more on the “relocated eschatology,” as that is the direction in which my interpretation of apocalyptic NT... (18/07/2003 - 09:58)
