Welcome to Adonaic Theology!
Frankly, there's a lot of really bad theology out there - on all sides. It's hard to look at any one school of thought and swallow it whole. While there may be wide swaths of agreement, certain differences remain that are critical.
I serve as a posek, someone to whom many questions regarding the Scriptures and ethics are posed. I also teach a seminary-level class for elders. So it's pretty important that I be clear in my theology. As anyone who spends more than five minutes looking at it knows, theology (the "queen of sciences") is a huge and complex subject.
This site is my attempt to get it right and to get it clear. At least in my brain!

Major Doctrines Outlined
I'm not outlining ALL of the doctrines here. I'd be here forever! Some doctrines that will even appear on the menu bar to the left will not appear on the following list. This is to give a general view of what most theologians consider to be the "great" or "major" doctrines. These are considered to be central, core or foundational to all the rest. Get these wrong and the whole structure is weak.
