Matthew 8:28-34

Discuss either theological doctrines, ideas about God, or Biblical criticism. I don't want any debates about creation vs evolution.

That sounds interesting and I'll look it up if my gnat size internet era attention span permits. :mrgreen:

Would the Christians around the time of the council of Nicaea have seen it in those non literal terms?
I don't think so. The Christians of that era didn't have a problem with allegorizing the Scributres. But as you probably know, Christianity had become depoliticized as it was transformed into the established religion of the Empire.

Hey remember liberation theology? ah the good old days. were we ever that young? :mrgreen:

Yes, I do. I just came across the Social Gospel a couple days ago while unpacking a box that's been waiting to be unpacked since April of 08 when we moved here. He was great.

say a little mention of process theology on the adventure board. it's in the thread about atheist world view.
