| | | Suggestion: Definitions Area
I would love to see a particular area - a thread, a forum, etc. - specifically for definitions/summaries of terms. For instance, I can come looking to find out what "theonomy" is, and find a lot of discussion about it, but I have to do a lot of reading just to try to sort out what the thing is that's being discussed - and in the meantime none of what I'm reading makes sense.
I know that a lot of these theological terms are not easily explained, but even a rough starting point would make it much easier for me to follow the other discussions on the topic that flesh it out.

I have used the Theopedia to get a basic definition of something. Many times the articles aren't developed, but usually there is some short definition that will help you get started.

Maybe a thread in the pool would be a good help!

And since I like you so much I'm amused by it.....anyother goat get would be having to run right about now! I didn't get to go into church today so I feel like I woke up on the wrong side of the bed...  |
