Hong Kong Liberal Religious Forum

The contents or doctrines of a religious faith have to cover or deal with certain categories. Contents or doctrines express positions on those categories.

Take Christianity as example, its faith or doctrines cover the following categories:
-God (theology proper): existence of God, Trinity, Omniscience/Omnipotence/All-loving, etc.
-Man (anthropology): origin, nature, Original Sin, destiny (heaven and hell), etc.
-Holy Spirit (pneumatology): existence, personality, work
-Jesus Christ (Christology): nature (Man or God), birth (Virgin Birth?), work (miracles?), death and resurrection
-Salvation (soteriology): how crucifixion of Jesus Christ saved Man from Sin
-Church (ecclesiology): nature, role, and mission of the Church
-Bible (bibliology): nature (Word of God?) and authority (inerrant?) of the Bible
-Last things (eschatology): what happen when the world ends
etc.

Open Faith may not use the above categories of Christianity. But before we can write our doctrines, we must decide on which categories to cover.

Welcome to express here your opinions on which categories to include and which to left out.


信仰內容或教義需要處理某些範籌，即是對那些範籌表達立場。

以基督宗教為例，信仰內容或教義可劃分為以下範籌：
上帝﹙神論﹚：有沒有上帝、是否三位一體、是否全知全能全善等
人﹙人論﹚：人的來源、是否有原罪、人的歸宿﹙永生與地獄﹚等
聖靈﹙聖靈論﹚：是否存在、位格、工作
耶穌基督﹙基督論﹚：耶穌基督的本質﹙是人或是神﹚、出生﹙是否童女所生﹚、工作﹙有沒有行過神蹟等﹚、死亡及復活﹙有沒有復活﹚
救恩﹙救恩論﹚：耶穌基督被釘十架如何拯救人脫離罪
教會﹙教會論﹚：教會的本質、角色、與使命等
聖經﹙聖經論﹚：本質﹙是否神的話﹚及權威﹙是否無誤﹚
末世事情﹙末世論﹚：世界最後發生甚麼事
等等

「開放信仰」未必需要參照基督宗教的以上範籌分類，但當大家訂定教義之前，首要的是決定「開放信仰」的教義將會涉及那些範籌、不涉及那些範籌，及如何把將涉及的範籌分類。

歡迎大家在這裡提出範籌取捨及分類的意見。
