The
Bible is all we need to know how to live
that Christian life. However, the Bible
does not explicitly cover every single
situation we will face in our lives. How
then is it sufficient? That is where
Christian Ethics comes in.
Cultural
Relativism
philosophy which declares that there are
no absolutes, or that there is no such
thing as an inherent truth
Antinomianism
is the belief that there are no moral
laws God expects Christians to obey.
Christian
Worldview
refers to a comprehensive conception of
the world from a specific standpoint.
Moral
Relativism
states that ethical
"truths" depend on the
situation, culture, one's feelings, etc.
Situational
Ethics
states that there is a right and wrong,
it is merely determined by the desired
outcome of the situation.
even more....
Premillennialism
The
view that the rapture and Christ's second
coming will both occur prior to his Millennial
(literal 1,000-year) reign.
Dispensationalism
The
7 dispensations are not ways of salvation, but
manners in which God relates to man.
Innocence
(Genesis 1:1 3:7), Conscience (Genesis
3:8, 8:22), Human Government (Genesis 9:1
11:32), Promise (Genesis 12:1 Exodus
19:25), Law (Exodus 20:1 Acts 2:4),
Grace (Acts 2:4 Revelation 20:3), Millennial
Kingdom (Revelation 20:4 20:6).
Replacement
Theology
Adherents
of Replacement Theology believe that the Jews
are no longer God's chosen people and God does
not have specific future plans for the nation
of Israel. There are
really only two views, either the Church is a
continuation of Israel (Replacement Theology),
or the Church is totally different and
distinct from Israel (Dispensationalism /
Premillennialism).
Practical
Theology
The
doctrine of the Christian life.
Liberation
Theology
Seen
to be the false doctrine of a humanist
viewpoint dressed up in theological terms.
Covenant
Theology
Believes
that there is and has always been only one
people of God.
Open
Theism
An
attempt to explain the foreknowledge of God in
relationship to the free will of man.
Neo-orthodoxy
Neo-orthodoxy
is a quite broad term, but it is mostly used
in the sense of modern contemporary theology
or liberal theology
Predestination
God
predestines who will be saved, and we must
choose Christ in order to be saved. Both
facts are equally true.
Tribulation
A
future 7-year period of time when God will
finish His punishment of national Israel and
at the same time judge the unbelieving
world.
Rapture
The
event in which God removes all believers from
the earth in order to make way for His
righteous judgment to be poured out on the
earth during the Tribulation period.
The
Second Coming
The
return of Christ to the earth to bring the
Tribulation to an end and to defeat the
antichrist.
