I'm looking for a faith discussion board where I can discuss (not argue) Biblical theology in an intelligent, educated manner with other Christians. If you know of such a board, I would appreciate it if you would post the link here. This does not seem like a forum that will be able to hold my interest.

You're right. I think this board was intended to be the same sort of thing, but not just for Christians. That leads to a great deal more need to be sensitive to the beliefs of others than it would on a board devoted to one religion.
Perhaps the website for your religion would have either a board or links to a board.
And there's google. Type in theology or theological discussion and see what comes up.
I'd be interested in a board that talked theology (not just Christian) in a more cerebral and intellectual manner than is the norm here. The dry and esoteric subjects I love don't seem to stir up much interest here. Go figure. :)
Maybe something like one of those ecumenical organizations that look for what all of us who love God have in common, and look at our differences with interest and acceptance and inquiring minds as to why others believe as they do. I'm sure there are places out there.
If you run across any multi-religion theological sites in your search, let me know?

When you find one perhaps we could visit as a group. In the mean time, "please?" "why don't you?" just suck it up, tuff it out and stay. You have a lot to offer the psycho community and we like you here. PBF is a good place to learn patience and tollerance and how to speak to those of other faiths. And, lest we forget, here we truly understand moods and swings, and how they affect our belief and expression at times.

We also understand brain-dead, cross-brain, and brain burp. My previous post, a response to Dinah's thread, was actually more directed to MKB, although now that I think about it, could probably apply to Dinah, given that she doesn't visit as regularly as she used to.
As it was crossing, my dead brain burped. My apologies.

It's nothing really to do with this board, Ray. It's just that my interest in Faith discussions are extremely boring to most people. The search for the historical Jesus, the synoptic gospels, the Council of Nicea, process theology. Not topics that seem to grab the imagination. :)

Be careful who you label most people. Some just beat to a different drummer. Much discussion here on PB is more or less one sided. If you have an idea and want to "babble" about it, why not process it here? Some people would be very interested in your ideas and how you express them.

Certainly no offense was intended.
It's not just here. My threads here tend to sink like lead balloons. But people in real life tend to glaze over when I talk religion. And my husband has banished the subject from our house.
I miss Daddy.

Did you and your dad have discussions about Jesus?
My personal interest in religion has more to do with the belief systems. How and why we develop them.
I have on occasion been interested in certain belief systems position on the "Christed" beings.
Whereas you are interested in Jesus.
I find what you have to say is unusual and fascinating for me.
You are an interesting woman with an inquisitive mind.

Hmmm... I think we talked about religion in general, not just about Jesus. Daddy had a wide ranging knowledge base and a delight in discussion to the point that he'd cheerfully take on any position to have a lively discussion. And to his credit, in many areas he considered all positions to be supportable.
So we'd discuss religion (and politics and horseracing and just about anything else) in whatever context it arose. From a religious statement by a public figure to truisms to the psychology of religion to the archeaological evidence and recent developments in the news that tied into religion.
And he was able to discuss these things from a non-ideological position and an interest in evidence that I thoroughly enjoyed.
We haven't had those discussions as often lately as we did before, in part because the topics were frequently not fit for a young boy. But I really miss knowing that I *can* sit at the bar with him and talk for hours about the things that interest me (that perhaps he taught me to be interested in because they interested him).

Happy Holidays
Do you seek out people who were like him in those ways?
Have you dreamed about him yet?I miss my dad because he was full of heart and held the center of our family.
Our discussions ended long ago when he became too deaf.
My mother could hear everything, my father nothing.
My mother brilliant my father honest.
My whole family extremely chatty while my dad was clever and sparing in word.
He was very emotional.
I miss him.
thanks for the stroll back
