sorry to disappoint , but we do not separate CHRISTIANS into true and not true. we find LIARS and disclose them!

and I will repeat again, it is practically impossible for you to understand.

Christianity is not a religion, it is a state of mind, a faith, knowledge of truth and blood in our veins.

The true believer in Christ KNOWS He is real. A true believer in christ will see the other like him
Which brings a question to my mind... (great post by the way)

HOW can this board be run on "christian principals" when the nicene creed that was promised to stay, and the name of Christ is removed against majority vote and all this is founded on LIES?

If faith was a means to find truth then all the worlds faiths would also be true. It is clear that faith misleads.

So you don't "know" any more then anyone else.
You need more Sun in your life after that statement. That was very dark.

How would you know ? You want everyone to quit and give up. No way I am giving up a battle for what is right. Sayonara to you ...
The tares will grow with the wheat until the time of the harvest, but even 2000 yrs ago Christ didnt come to bring peace, but a sword to divide truth from lie, right from wrong, good from evil

Is it me, or does anyone else feel like the Site has become so otherworldly feeling, as if the Heart has stopped beating?

Toxic in other words. :(
That is the thing from below trying to squelch you. Do not pay attention and reach higher. The Lord is reaching to us all. Grab His hand and rejoice in knowing that the battle is not over. God Bless You !

Give up what? A name?

Unity was never attained. So nothing as been given up except Erwin's dream of unity.
No its not just a name... it was a standard as well. I have read myself where the people were promised here that this board would never forsake the nicene creed and it would REMAIN a christian board...

NOT ONLY THIS, This is a stand for integrity and a stand against lies and what boils down to fraud and robbery

Amen . I agree. That is why we must not stop until the perception of negativity is defeated. We need the truth to be made clear here. It is so important.

If the Muslim, Hindu, and all the other "faiths" in the world also use faith to convince and reinforce their own beliefs then how can one know if their "faith" is really correct if it "feels" correct?

There are just beliefs people hold. If we can't look past them we are all doomed.

just read this and understood that this place will not change back to what it used to be

Erwin said:
Hi

Just came back from my medical conference - it was an all day one. The polls were close - the initial post did suggest I change the forum name, and in fact, I got a PM the day before I changed the forum name asking me to change the domain name to remove the Christian bit.

I bought the domain name after the poll came out for me to change the domain name. Whether I was going to use it for this site or not was still undecided at that time - I had some options at that stage, and only one of them was to use that name for this site.

I don't believe I lied, and I'm sorry you feel that way. There was no intention to mislead - the intention was to radically change the scope of the site to be more inclusive, while retaining a Christian identity

I really do wish I could believe this. I seem to see Christians separating themselves by the method of "true Christians" and not "true Christians". I have even see it in this thread, Christians blaming all of this on the not "true Christians".

Erwin I would bet got a PM box full of this every time he came here. I would get sick of it all too. If the dream was to unite, it clearly isn't working.



UNITY

seeing as it is Christ who has united us , all Christians belong to ONE body , it is not suprising the Lord takes it as an affront to see some attempting to unite what God has already been united by His SON.

If you want God's blessing , best not to undermine Him!


As I said before , it's like me kicking in the doors of your mum and dad's and saying "hi , I've come to unite your Mum and Dad "

and you reply "get out of here you idiot , they have been married 40 years" !!!



Divisions
divisions amongst Christians usually stem from immaturity , the same as divisions with married couples.




One of the reasons CHRISTIANforums worked so well , yes you can laugh .... is that Christians from all over the theological geographical spectrum are/were here , I could have gone and remained in a Dozen Calvinist websites but found debate and discussion with Christians who differed much more interesting and challenging ......... sword sharpens sword.

In other words it is a stand to claim my Christianity is more correct then their Christianity. And the forum says so too, so there.

Why didnt you spell DOOMED in capital letters and attach blood to it and everything. This dooms day mentality is not what is needed here. What is needed here is hope. That is really sad the hopelessness in your words I am praying to Jesus about You .

I pray the Spirit of the Lord will enlighten you to the difference because no words can describe what His revelation knowledge of Christ is like. It must be experienced.
