Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

So, do you think Erwin said what you have in your signature with the intention to go against it eventually? Only then it could be called a lie.

To follow Christ from the Bible a person doesn't have to use the Bible as the only source of knowledge about Christ, and doesn't have to treat the Bible as an infallible source of knowledge. Have you heard of the Jesus Seminar?

Actually, most non-Christians I know are good people and aren't interested in converting everyone around them, so I have no problems fellowshipping with them.

So, then, why did he bother to add a new "faith" section that doesn't even cover the very basics of what Christianity is if he wants to call this a "christian based site"???

What would make it Christian are the little hovels of Christians that create their own little exclusive hideouts in various areas??
:scratch: :help: :sigh:

You can't seem to come to grips that Christianity got shoved into the backseat - his format was FINE as it was! Why do you think so many stayed here?
It just needed some fine tuning of some rules & the preamble.
PROBLEM SOLVED.

Instead, he opened it to chaos - there's no definition of even any BASIC beliefs of Christianity; it got erased and blurred the lines and PURPOSE of this site which was originally, predominantly and OPENLY "Christian" based.

Now he just allows Christians to make up cliques & clubs out in the back 40.
It has drastically changed, that's why so many Christians are so upset... I highly doubt that this large majority are all wrong and blind.

That is as it should be. Athanasian Christians can retreat to their congregational bunkers if they cannot weather richly deserved criticisms of their absurd Christology.

Isaiah 4:5
And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.

ill say that i will go an buy you a chocolate, but came back home with ice cream for myself, doesnt that make me a liar?
Click to expand...

Rather depends whether you intended to buy me the chocolate when you said so, and why you didn't actually do so in the end.

When I was a child, I swore I'd never get married. If I actually marry, does that make me a liar? Or does it just mean that when I was younger I honestly believed something, and later changed my mind?

What many don't seem to get is, at least in theory this was a Christian site with some areas open to ALL...

It appears to be becoming a Secular Site with the possibility of a few safe havens for Christians...

The direction has changed and a new course is plotted... the flawed matrix was set in place on 7/7/7 and the name change is a manifestation of the new matrix... the so called *christian* principles that Erwin speaks about deal with *how* the site will function as he sees it... they are NOT the foundation upon which this site will be built... He has removed any semblances of the Christian foundation in favor of his new matrix...

I believe the new matrix is fatally flawed in that it assumes non-Christians can and will be guided by Christian principles...

:prayer: :prayer: :prayer: Erwin comes to his Christian senses...

You dont believe in God, you have your way here at the board now that Erwin changed it for you. What i find hypocritical about you is the stink you would most likely raise if the owner of an atheist site suddenly got saved and changed it to a christian site after YOU put YOUR money into it. (Waiting for your denial)

Your 'peace and unity' came at the cost of consigning other Christians to a ghetto. I do not harangue Athanasian Christians in their congregational fora but I enjoy participating in the theology fora and I would not support regressing to the ghettos of yore.
