Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to establish a dialogue among truth-seekers in an attempt to ensure that none are led astray by half-truths. In particular, our goal is address issues present in American Christian culture in an attempt to influence said culture towards right-thinking. E-Dictionary.com defines orthodox as “sound or correct in opinion or doctrine, esp. theological or religious doctrine.”

If this idea vibes with you in any way, we invite you to contribute articles to further the cause. We don’t expect perfection, nor will we follow a universal debate format, such as those discussed on iidb.org . However, as a group, we will present our ideas without sarcasm, personal attack, or obscenity. (As tempting as it is to fall into these patterns, bringing in said tactics will muddy our message, and we value our message more than the feeling of “pwning” some one.)

Among our first topics of conversation will be the following:

The King James Only Movement
Literal Six-Day Creationism
The “Bible-Only” Hermeneutic
A Study of Worship Which Honors God
Forgiveness, In Two Parts
- As It Relates To Interpersonal Conflict Management
- As It Relates To Church Discipline
American Christian Culture -vs- Christ
Bumper Sticker Ethics
The Responsibility of Christians in Politics
An Appropriate Response to the Abortion Issue
A Christian Response to Global Warming
Addressing the Use of Magic in Fantasy
Stem Cell Research
An Honest Look into the Doctrine of Inerrancy
Christians Using Alcohol
The Effect of Addiction on Spiritual Development
The “Problem” of Evil

Many more issues such as these will be discussed here. If you are interested in discussing these ideas, please leave a comment here, and we will look into adding a discussion forum for the formulation of articles. Such a group will be formed by invite only, and the articles posted here will be posted after review, discussion, and modification/ratification by the group.
