  • 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.

I’m fairly sure that this isn’t true.
I would not be here if it was a catholic website. People are to judgmental. I been here for a while. They should find something else to do with their time!

You know those websites and videos that expose things they think are bad? It looks like we're under attack. Out of curiosity, I saw this website exposing many Christian forum sites, including this site we use, because I wanted to check if any other Christians think this site is evil since they tend to claim that of a lot of things (and I think that's how I got my anxiety problem!) are bad.This is the site that "exposes" us.

Websites that have exposed and have creditably referred to racism in the past are not immune from also becoming the real racists of today when they attempt to impute evil towards a Muslim man who is calling out his own brethren on their own injustices:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...ab7d60-756d-11e8-9780-b1dd6a09b549_story.html

It reminds me of a statement written by the apostle Paul about other people who are likewise concerned with right and wrong. 2 Corinthians.

"And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do."

Now when I hear some "cited" authority about what they portray as right and wrong, it's obviously like Paul concluded, "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds."

What a rambling diatribe that expose site was. Wow!

This place is hardly Catholic when one of the most recent featured threads is it's own rambling diatribe against the Catholic Church.

Whatever they were smoking when they wrote this, I want some. They are nicely out of touch with reality.

followup: I went and looked at their recommended site. If that's how they end up smoking their stuff I don't want any of it around me. I feel I may need to go to confession now, or at least take a shower.

Why would you consider this person to be an authoritative teacher on anything? What expertise has he demonstrated? He can make doctrinal claims, but that doesn't mean he's right. And he's certainly not well-adjusted in an online context, since he's either been banned from multiple Christian forums, or is lying about it, which means he's not the person you want to learn general wisdom from.

Is that Troy Brooks' website. That rascal.

Back in the day, like seven, eight years ago, or so, he had this fun little habit of coming here promoting some of his personal ideas. When people disagreed with him, debated him, or you know, generally didn't follow him he would get pretty angsty. He would often create various sock puppet accounts, pretending to be other people. But as soon as he went about his personal ideas, everyone knew it was ol' Troy.

Yeah, he really hates Christian Forums because he was banned, and then he had his sock accounts banned, on multiple occasions.

I think he also created his own forums, and regularly banned anyone who disagreed with him, and deleted threads he personally didn't like.

Memories are fun.

Edited: Oh, yeah, reading the thread. Apparently I was right.

If Catholics had as much power over CF as that, ahem, writer wants to believe, maybe 10% of the active members around here would still be active. Would even I be one of them? Eh, toss a coin.

I shall be politic about it and say that the true powers behind CF hold to beliefs which are very different from Catholicism.

That writer's objection to the Rapture Ready forums is amusing tho. You'd have to go a pretty long way to find a more toxic cesspool of anti-Catholic vitriol than the RR forum. I've found several amusing posts there over the years, one of which may risk blaspheming the Holy Spirit. They are a dedicated bunch, I'll give them that. I would never accuse them of being a mature bunch. But they are dedicated, no doubts there.

As a general rule, I find that if one ever unironically believes that he alone has a 100% monopoly on religious truth and everybody else has at a minimum one foot in damnation, it might be time for a head-check. I'd say that to the writer of the article but he doesn't permit comments. Can't imagine why...

There has been many owners. And of the four of us who oversee the site, only one is Catholic.
There have been many.

I think you need a moderator to moderate everyone's English in this forum - including mine ;)

If someone doesn't like the forum, why join it?

As forums go this one seems to be the one that doesn't try to ban or suppress different views. I've found all the extreme views on the left and right here - from believing only one church has authority, to going back to Mosaic Law. Imagine how boring this forum would become if they only allowed one limit set of opinions or beliefs.

My favorite part is "the owners of these forums in all likelihood will never repent of their false teachings." Even IF this guy was right (and I in no way think he is), it's not like we have an entire Book about being able to repent regardless of one's past or anything oh wait.

Really, though, this kind of thing worries me. Forums exist (at least in part) for people to discuss ideas and have civil disagreements. This sort of policing of others' beliefs and demanding a person's theology line up with a highly specific standard (especially when calling someone a false teacher or claiming they aren't really born again) is downright dangerous.

Have respect for other people. It's in the Book.

That's honestly one of the things I love most about this site! People are, generally speaking, very accepting of differences in theology and willing to discuss them. True, there are sometimes...less-than-pleasant exchanges and folks with poor attitudes, but the moderation is very good when things get extreme. And if something bothers you, you can always ignore a specific person's post or steer clear of certain areas of the forum. It's what a forum should be.

Fun fact: I accidentally saw a similar site to the one in question, except it was a bunch of 'anonymous' people discussing how terrible this site was. The reason I was inactive on this account for a while and had to make a second one a long while back(which is deleted now)was because they were talking about people getting DDoS'd and hacked on this site by admins and their 'puppet' accounts, and that the site was mostly run by secret militant atheists or something? Scared me enough to wipe the info off of my acc and change my password so I couldn't log back in, since deleting your account requires getting in touch with staff which I didn't want to do at the time.

Needless to say, I came to my senses sooner rather than later and I actually can't remember what the site was even called lol.

I’m fairly sure that this isn’t true.

Actually we tend to see the opposite here. Many of us are Protestants who argue for OSAS. There are a few here who reject the Trinity and osas but they're the minority and would be on every Christian forum not just this one. And the belief in eternal security isnt really required for salvation anyway so even if we mostly were non OSAS Christian's that wouldnt mean we're a heretical site.

It seems that whoever's runs that site only believes that protestants who accept OSAS are saved. If this site were true we as Christians are in huge trouble...

I just happened to read their opinions on Calvinism! That is soooooo far from the truth. This site has to be complete satire theres no way it could be serious. Every belief of theirs posted is so blatantly false.
