I'll stand with Meh on this one as well and say yes.

"The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society"- Mother Theresa
"But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion?
As always, we must persuade her with love, and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even his life to love us. So the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love - that is, to give until it hurts... her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts. By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.
And by abortion, the father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. That father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching the people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion". - Mother Theresa
Will there be any sort of exception made for the unorthodox theology forum and the subforums within it? There are unorthodox beliefs and issues that are contrary to the CF SoF. My understanding is that generally that is why these beliefs and issues are regulated to discussion in this forum and subforums.
Yes. Unorthodox Theology will be open. We're looking at either moving UT, or keeping it in Theology, and just not placing any software restrictions on that forum.
Whose decision was this anyway? Making the theology forums Christian only is the epitome of stupidity. Way to alienate seekers. I thought the goal was to spread the message of Jesus - not form some elitist cult.
I think the decision was an excellent one. And the tech change will take the load off the mods enforcing it, because the rule is broken dozens of times each day.
This forum has several purposes -- edification and fellowship within the Christian community (in the CO forums) as well as outreach (in the outreach forums).
I would like to ask, though: what is the official list of Christian icons?

So that is the primary reason for this change, so mods don't have to do as much? Instead of segregating - get more mods, or find mods who actually have the time and willingness to enforce the forums.

There is an entire subforum dedicated to edification. I don't see a problem with that being Christian only. The theology forum, however, includes apologetics, science, ethics, etc. discussions that become quite dry without any opposing views. And we all know fundamentalists/evangelicals just pat each other on the back regardless of how horribly poor their arguments are.
Not to mention, you do realize that Jews are excluded from that forum too right? I realize there aren't a lot of Jewish posters here, but merely on principle, the fact that God's chosen people who brought about Christianity can't even post in "Theology" is rather insulting.

Are the non-Nicene Christian icons allowed the same posting privileges as Nicene Christian icons?

No, that's not what I said. Given that the decision was made for various other reasons, I said the tech change would help the mods.
I've been a mod here, and it's a tough job. And the only payment received is a lot of personal abuse. I take my hat off to the mods still around.

Many of those topics have a CO version and an open version. People can choose where they want to be.

I assume that "However, any post that is contrary to Christian Forums' Statement of Faith will be removed" means that non-Trinitarian posts will be removed.
We could probably do with clarification on whether non-Trinitarian members are allowed to post in CO forums.
