What is Dogma?
{{otheruses}} A '''dogma'''<ref>The plural is either '''''dogmata''''' or '''''dogmas''''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] ''{{Polytonic|δόγμα}}'', plural ''{{Polytonic|δόγματα}}'')</ref> is something that should not be [[:wikt:dispute|disputed]] or [[:wikt:doubt|doubted]]. Most often, this means the basic [[belief]]s and [[doctrine]]s of a [[religion]]. What a majority of followers of an [[ideology]] or any kind of [[organization]] believe in can also be a dogma. In the [[context]] of religion, the term has a [[:wikt:neutral|neutral]] meaning. Outside of religion for most people the term means something negative, because it accepts only a particular [[point of view]]. If someone disputes a religious dogma, they can be accused of [[heresy]]. In [[Christianity]], the [[Resurrection]] of [[Jesus]] is a basic dogma. == References == <references/> == Other websites == *[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05089a.htm Dogma] - Catholic Encyclopedia *[http://bible.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Greek/grk.cgi?number=1378&version=kjv Dogma] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070213061957/http://bible.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Greek/grk.cgi?number=1378&version=kjv |date=2007-02-13 }} - Strong's N.T.
