New CF - finally...

[Lisa0315]

Speak for yourself; I'm not under his rule.

Jesus is my King right here, right now, on this earth.

Nor am I under the rule of Satan, but the WORLD is.

C'mon. I know you know what I mean. This is just semantics. I don't even remember what my original point was, but that is what happens when we concentrate on the technical things without grasping what is important. Doctrine, for the most part, are technicalities of our faith. Our FAITH, though, is about acting Christ-like. We are the only Jesus that most people will see in this life.

I have a genuine question.

Given this is now a democracy, if the majority were to want the forum's name be changed, will it happen?

 

[MelzluvsJesus]

does this new found openness include giving amnesty to banned members?

another good question. I had a couple friends banned for speaking their minds..SHOOT, that is ok now! SO UNBAN them! COME on..be fair.

 

[LostUntilSaved]

Wow thank you erwin. The changes are great. great job.

I doubt it, that would require buying another domain name other than ChristianForums.com

 

[A Taffer]

You people don't stop, do you? Why do I get the hammer dropped on me?

Is it because I got banned under rules that no longer exist, which were usually vague, and enforced at the mods' discretion?

Or is it because I refused to be bullied by overzealous Christians and have the gall to come here and tell it to your face, defy your bans, and be a thorn in your side.

Now instead of making come up with a new name and doing this again, can someone answer my questions, please?

Do banned members get to appeal? Are we allowed impartial Christians and non-Christians to render a fair verdict, preferably ones who aren't currently on staff?

And on a side note, I saw that current staff will stay till the end of the year to help out. That makes sense, that's about 5 months, but is that how long it's going to take to get these staff elections?

And can someone quote this, because I know they're gonna get me again.

Ok regardings the overzealous christians bit. If those were people outside this forum, elsewhere in the world. Does it really make it right for you to come here and do what you said you do even though no one here did that to you? Why not take it directly to who offended you instead of waving broad attacks against the general christians of the world or this forum for that matter.

God governs everything. He is the all-powerful Creator. He is the loving Sustainer. And He is the perfect Ruler. He created the Universe, and He knows how to govern it as well. Should we trust God or should we trust Erwin?

 

[ScottBot]

Does giving someone the right to say that sky is purple make the sky purple? Nope. But by giving them that chance to be heard, you have opened the lines of dialog just like Paul did.

If I remember the story right, the Romans got a head of Paul.

Unless God turned Erwin into a puppet on a string, I would say a bit of both.

Yes, but I'd say the revenue generated would more than cover it. Presumably now that everything is open we'll finally be able to see how the accounts are run, too.

Further the domain name would go for a fortune.

So the question remains: given this is now a democracy, if majority vote wishes to see the name changed, will it happen?

Are they willing to pony up for a new domain name?

Proposed Rule #1. Never quote yourself. It makes you look partially insane.

And sometimes fully insane, depending on the context.

Depends on how you define "puppet" since we are moving away from legalism.

At this point in the game, I am loathe to define anything in concrete terms.

Well you can always buy the new domain name, code the site, and then donate it.

not the story I was thinking of - but - It took a while, but Rome became Christian.

 

[dignitized]

According to Jesus, he did.

So let Jesus be the judge.

 

[Goodchild]

I just want to debate without worrying about getting cencored and warned over jokes, or statements of facts, or for my opinions.



I've seen your name before, so I'm sure we've argued about something.

If you or anyone else here ever shared words with:

Spike~
Cerberus~
JustJack!
MJ421
Syntox
WalkingforHim
StrangerThings, or
Oscillation

You were talking to me.

you were JustJack? Cool, always loved that name hehe.

I don't think he ever said it was a democracy. Erwin is still the benevolent dictator and owner of the forums.
