I'll start. Here's two that immediately come to mind (I'm sure there's plenty more):
Hell
Common Ancestry
Inherited Guilt of Sin

I added one, fyi.
On hell, I've shifted from a view that held both eternal conscious torment and annihiliation as roughly equal possibile ways of interpreting Scripture. Since the interactions on this forums, I would add Christian Universalism* to that list.
On Common Ancestry, I've shifted from seeing common ancestry as impossible and anti-scriptural to seeing it as probable and not in contradiciton with Scripture.
On the third issue, Chris did a good job convincing me that though an inclination toward sin is inherited since Adam, the guilt of sin is not inherited at birth.
*that all will be saved eventually through Christ, even from hell.

I'm a lot more sympathetic to the OEC view now.
Also, thanks to Josh and Moritz, I've learned that homosexual behavior is more common in the animal world than I once thought.*
I'm sure there's more, but that's all that comes to mind at that moment.
* Though it hasn't changed my position on the biblical view of it.

Anyone else?
It doesn't have to be a change of position, just a change of perspective.

I have definitely learned many things from participating in the discussions here. But after some thought I can't come up with any significant shifts on my theology, or perspective. I'll continue to think about it though. Perhaps I'm just stubborn.

Perhaps??? It's true, I don't change my mind unless I see a clear and compelling reason to do so. I like to be challenged though. |

I hope we are all stubborn in that regard, otherwise what we believe as individuals means nothing.
