• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

is this poll official and I say let it slide progressives and traditionalists have had their own sections since I can remember but still co-mingle. Doe s this mean that we have no life and continue to harp over trivial things like splitting up SDA minded people who adopted differences in opinion. If they LOVe JESUS and HIS promises and blank out all evil then let it all stay the way it is I say.

I think this is fine for the split:

4. Traditional Seventh-day Adventist Fellowship Sub-forum

4.1 This sub-forum is mainly for fellowship and discussion amongst Traditional Seventh-day Adventists, defined here as those who agree with all 28 Fundamental Beliefs.


4.2 Non Seventh-day Adventists and other Seventh-day Adventists, who do not identify themselves as Traditional Seventh-day Adventists, may ask questions on issues relevant to Traditional Adventists.

4.3 Debate in this forum on any topic is limited to those who identify themselves as Traditional Seventh-day Adventists.

4.4 Teaching in this forum on any topic is limited to those who identify themselves as Traditional Seventh-day Adventists.

4.5 Topics and posts that speak against any of the 28 Fundamental Beliefs of the SDA Church are not permitted in this sub-forum.

4.6 Sarcasm against another person here is unacceptable.

hmmm looks like a certain self-proclaimed "prophet" here is going to have to eat his words perhaps ...?

I know a few people that haven't voted yet that will vote for a split. It's still anybody's ballgame.

And Moriah, you told me Ice WOULD win the mod election, so maybe we shouldn't laugh at people's predictions?

No. I think we should all just learn to get along, and not start fights, but rather discuss things, and keep it at a calm level, and accept people have different ideas and not insult them for it. When we try to be "critical" of another (can't think of a better word) we should be so in a loving way and if the person doesn't want to discuss it, not pursue it.

We should not be critical of others period. If people would STOP imagining it is some sort of "mandate" or "calling" from God to harass other people over who they are, there would be NO TROUBLE in this forum. You notice ALL the trouble begins with those kinds of attitudes. If someone posts something you disagree with, discuss the concept if you like -- state "I don't agree with this idea, here is why" -- how freaking hard can that be? How freaking hard can it be to simply state you don't agree with an IDEA and state why, without needing to criticize and condemn PEOPLE in the process? Well apparently this that MOST of us learned at the age of SEVEN is still IMPOSSIBLE for some of the self-inflated GITS in this forum who think they have some "divine mandate" to go around pointing fingers, making accusations, presuming to judge others' hearts, etc. You know what? Demons living inside people are what causes this behavior. AT LEAST ON MY OWN BEHALF I CAN SAY IN MY OWN DEFENSE AT LEAST I KNOW I HAVE THEM. Pity the poor souls who are exhibiting every symptom and yet are completely clueless as to how owned & operated they really are and how EVIL is USING them like brainless PUPPETS to hurt, destroy, and tear apart. GOD OF HEAVEN HEAR MY CRY!!! EXPOSE THE TRUE WORKS OF DARKNESS, THE ONES DONE IN SECRET!! MINE ARE ALREADY IN THE OPEN, DISTRACTING THEM!!! THEY POINT TO ME AND BELIEVE THEMSELVES STANDING IN THE LIGHT!!!!

Satanism is not being "promoted".
I do not promote "Satanism" I do not even BELIEVE IN "Satanism".
YOU get a clue; you are misrepresenting and mischaracterizing me in your mad witchhunt.

ALL I have done is share my personal experience.
My personal experience is what it is; it is not a "religion" and I do not "promote" it as one.
I simply refuse to LIE about myself PRECISELY BECAUSE it is NOT my intent to deceive or harm ANYONE regardless of what you might think.
