1. Why Restore Authentic Christianity?

from LHIM Classes · host Living Hope International Ministries

Download: Restoration Theology Student Notes Welcome to Restorationist Theology Christian theology is worthwhile and exciting. All Christians do theology – it’s how you summarize what the Bible says. Everyone is a theologian; key question: Is your theology accurate? How to improve it? Class goal: Think through theology comprehensively and methodically. Defining Restorationism Based on 3 beliefs: Christianity has drifted from originals. Possible to recover original Christianity. We should recover and live it today. Also called Christian primitivism (primitive = good, meaning early/original). Goal: Correct errors based on final New Testament Christianity. Class method: Systematic way to evaluate beliefs. Why Restore? (Making the Case) Example: Prayer for travelers – includes St. Christopher (patron saint), but Bible doesn’t mention saints or praying to them. Shows how traditions add non-biblical elements. Restorationism questions these additions. Reasons to restore: Bible warns against false teachings (e.g., Matt 7:15, 2 Pet 2:1). Church history shows drift (e.g., indulgences, purgatory not in Bible). Avoid errors from tradition; seek truth like Bereans (Acts 17:11). Restorationist Approach Dares to question received doctrines. Slogan: “Fides quaerens veritatem” – faith seeking truth. Not just explaining church teachings; evaluate and seek greater truth. If you believe in restorationism, class teaches method to evaluate beliefs. Restorationists are “Bible people”: Evaluate based on Bible, let it critique faith (not squeeze Bible to fit creed). Class Preview Outline of sessions: Why Restore? Milestones to Modern Restorationism. 3-6: Bible focus (primacy, manuscripts, translation). 7-9: Interpretation and application. 10-14: Branches of theology (biblical, systematic, etc.). 15: Method to evaluate doctrines. 16: How it changes the world. Goal: Equip you to judge beliefs against Bible, measure doctrines. Worth time to learn restoration theology. The post 1. Why Restore Authentic Christianity? first appeared on Living Hope.
