    Wednesday, May 09 @ 23:45:40 EDT     (read 555 times)       |      Topic: Doctrines and Beliefs
    Grace vs. Faith. Mercy vs. Justice. Love vs. Pain. Old Testament vs. New Testament. The Law vs. Freedom.
    Throughout Christianity, there are a lot of conflicting characteristics. In this discussion, Christian, Faithful, and Hopeful grapple with what the importance of the Law and the Old Testament is.... and why.

    Jesus used stories that had a point. They were interesting, biting, and thoughtful. At Church Challenge, we will occassionally do the same through either writing our own or "modernizing" one of Jesus' for the world today.

    What right do we have to point the finger?
    Friday, March 23 @ 03:02:41 EST     (read 550 times)       |      Topic: Evangelism and Chuch Mission
    The Church is well known for pointing out what's wrong with everyone else. Is this the way it is supposed to be and why or why not? Christian, Faithful, and Hopeful tackle the issue head on to try to grasp what the Church's relation to the world is supposed to be.

Doctrine has been a source of contention and division throughout church history, and because of this, Faithful wonders how important doctrine should be to the modern Christian. He and Christian take the issue head on and discuss a few possibilities for selecting and grasping onto different doctrines.
