• 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.

Warning To My Adventist Friends.

I'm not surprised about this announcement, but I am shocked that Lee and his board have done this thing. I understood when a certain person in this forum was actively promoting Wicca and satanism and got banned.

But just because other Christians interpret the bible is a way that others ( the majority) do not, should not be a prerequisite to banishment into the forbidden forumland.

CF's new rule appears to have caused a witch hunt.

These loving and stellar Christians have succeeded in having The Mormon, Unitarian, and JW message board shut down.

Be wary. It appears the people who believe a certain way want YOU to believe a certain way or leave.

This posts proves my point about the above sentence.

We are fine......

The issue is, to streamline CF and create an atmosphere where only one view is accepted, an Evangelical ultra right wing point of view. Sort of like a "Family Research Council" type of atmosphere. The Evangelicals do view Adventism, JW, and The Mormons as a "cult".

Of course people like Hank Hannagraph have lessened up on the cult montra of Adventists and focused on attacking Mormons and JW's but there are plenty who believe like Hank and label Adventism a cult.

Here is some web sites:

After reading much of the Macgregor web site-I thought for a moment that I had mistakenly been routed back into the prog area.

The issue is not the Trinity, of course that is being thrown in to "legitimize" this witch hunt.

No, the issue is actually the Trinity. Regardless of some of the issues that most folks think that the SDAs have Trinitarian theology and a proper Christology generally aren't issues that are brought up.

This is opposed, of course, to the Mormon religion which has an entirely inappropriate view of the Holy Trinty. You're trying to lump too many "cults" together.

Tonks--did you just call our church a cult?

The people behind the new rules consider Adventism to be a "cult" and these people will more than likely try to shut your board down sometime in the future.

Adventism is a cult!

A "cult" for God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit!

From the MacGregor web site:

"Seventh-day Adventists won't tell you they are behind the "Revelation Seminars" they sponsor. They act all" interdenominational" if questioned. Watch out for these SDA outreaches as well: Voice of Prophecy, Faith for Today, It is Written, The Quiet Hour, Amazing Facts etc. They also hide behind Heath oriented shows on the networks, and sponsor stop-smoking clinics etc, all as introductions to Seventh-day Adventism."

Yep, that pretty much sums it up....we're evil! Rotten to the core!
What a terrible and nasty thing it is to promote right and accurate Bible prophecy, and healthy living.

We'z gonna burn fo'ever fo' that kind'a blasphemy! ^_^

All I've got to say is this. If CF doesn't what us here that's fine. That just means we're one step closer to the appearing of our Lord.

Mat 24:9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

Mark 13:13
And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Luke 21:17
And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.

Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Horrible, absolutely horrible, quit smoking tips and a healthy lifestyle...what other ills will come from the Adventists???
