How Do You View Christianity?



The following material is a compilation of pithy theological quotes that have been gathered over the past several years from conversations, various books, and pastoral encounters.  As you will see in the following pages, these pithy quotes were adapted and organized into 50 plus different doctrinal subjects.  Each doctrinal subject, though, presents two opposing theological views laid forth as ‘Plan A’ and ‘Plan B.’  Furthermore, connected to each doctrinal subject, there are Biblical References listed.  These references allow the reader the chance to discern which plan is correct in light of scripture.

 Instructions:
Take time to compare ‘Plan A’ with ‘Plan B.’ As previously stated, ‘Plan A’ and ‘Plan B’ present two different views of the Christian faith.  Even though only a few words are changed in each plan, you will most likely see that they present two very different perspectives of the Christian faith.  Therefore, as you compare ‘Plan A’ with ‘Plan B,’ you may scratch your head while pondering which plan is right and which one is wrong.  While you are scratching your head, you will likely be driven to want to resolve this tension (which is good).  Therefore, to resolve which plan is Biblically right and which one is wrong, Bible references have been listed above the pithy quotes to allow you, the reader, to view both of the plans in light of scripture.  Keep in mind though, by turning to the scriptures one may also encounter a new problem.  In other words, as you examine the scriptures you will not only find yourself concluding which plan is correct, but you may find the scriptures conflicting with your prior accepted knowledge of each doctrinal subject.   

 Enjoy this little exercise as it illustrates and brings about what is technically called a ‘worldview conflict’ and an ‘epistemological crisis.’  Lord willing, through this little exercise, the Word will either confirm your theological views or gently correct your theological views.
