The fundamentalist and mainline Christian positions on Scripture, Creation, original sin, life after death, and the Second Coming of Jesus have both similarities and differences.
Scripture:
Fundamentalist Christians typically believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible and view it as the infallible and inerrant word of God. Mainline Christians, on the other hand, may interpret the Bible more symbolically and metaphorically, and may also consider other sources of religious authority such as tradition and reason.
Creation:
Both fundamentalist and mainline Christians believe in the concept of creation by God, but fundamentalists are more likely to adhere to a literal interpretation of the creation story in the book of Genesis, while mainline Christians may be more open to the idea of evolution and theistic evolution.
Original sin:
Both fundamentalist and mainline Christians believe in the concept of original sin, which stems from the story of Adam and Eve in the Bible. However, fundamentalists may emphasize the sinful nature of humanity and the need for personal salvation, while mainline Christians may focus more on the idea of social sin and the need for collective redemption.
Life after death:
Both fundamentalist and mainline Christians believe in the concept of life after death, but there may be differences in their understanding of the nature of the afterlife and the specifics of what happens after death.
Second Coming of Jesus:
Fundamentalist Christians often have a strong emphasis on the imminent return of Jesus Christ and may interpret apocalyptic prophecies more literally. Mainline Christians may have a more symbolic or metaphorical interpretation of the Second Coming and may focus more on the ethical and moral implications of Jesus' teachings rather than on the specific details of his return.
In conclusion, while fundamentalist and mainline Christians share some core beliefs, there are also significant differences in their interpretations and emphases on Scripture, Creation, original sin, life after death, and the Second Coming of Jesus. These differences can lead to varying theological perspectives and practices within the Christian faith.

Constantine's Edict of Milan, issued in 313 AD, was a landmark decree that granted religious tolerance to Christians within the Roman Empire. This edict effectively ended the persecution of Christians and allowed them to practice their faith openly. This was a significant turning point for Christianity, as it marked the beginning of its acceptance and eventual dominance within the Roman Empire.
Theodosius' recognition of Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire in 380 AD further solidified the status of Christianity within the empire. This decree made Christianity the state religion and effectively marginalized other religious practices. Theodosius' recognition of Christianity as the official religion also led to the suppression of pagan practices and the destruction of pagan temples, further establishing Christianity as the dominant faith within the empire.
These two historical events had a profound impact on the future development of Christianity. The Edict of Milan and Theodosius' recognition of Christianity as the official religion provided the religion with a level of legitimacy and support from the state, which allowed it to grow and spread throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. The official recognition of Christianity also led to the establishment of the church as a powerful institution with significant influence over the political and social landscape.
Additionally, the state support for Christianity led to the conversion of many people within the empire, further solidifying its position as the dominant religion. The official recognition of Christianity also paved the way for the development of Christian theology, the establishment of the church hierarchy, and the spread of Christian teachings and practices.
Overall, Constantine's Edict of Milan and Theodosius' recognition of Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire were pivotal moments in the history of Christianity, shaping its future development and establishing it as a dominant and influential force within the Roman Empire and beyond.
