I hope this works.
I have no faith in my liberal friends to be fair and to not to represent themselves as bible believing christians when they are not, though, so I expect the debate sections to be one sided flame wars and the christians-only section to be overrun with the same non believing losers who clearly have no jobs and spend their days wiling away the hours in their mom's basement pretending to be intellectually superior that currently populate the creation and evolution forum.
I hope I'm wrong and things smooth out and conversation can become constructive, but I'm never wrong.
And the Heretics always claim legalism as the problem for their false views. Keep it up, heretic.
Only people rule in CF. That's the problem.Well... we are either spirit-controlled or not? If you want rules, than it is control by man-made rules.
If you want grace, allow God to rule.
Name calling is a game of those who can't win.The name calling is getting pretty bad in this thread.
Could we perhaps tone it down a notch?
Actually maybe it will unite all the chrisiatan since they have to all together defend the faith instead of some hiding in there comfortable "pharisees only" synagogs.First of all there were places to already speak with unbelievers. Now we are to be joined in all areas of a "Christian Forum" "Uniting All Christians As One Body"
The name and the slogan couldn't be farther from the truth now.
"Hearing [them], he said: Persons in health do not need a physician, but the ailing do. 13 Go, then, and learn what this means, I want mercy, and not sacrifice. For I came to call, not righteous people, but sinners. -Mat 9:12-13Let's look to the word of God shall we?
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
Continue on to Psalm 53:3;"There is no one doing good,Psalm 14: 1 The fool [a] says in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
Psalm 53:1 The fool says in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no one who does good
This apllies to christians aswell.Romans 1:
20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualitieshis eternal power and divine naturehave been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. 21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
which you mis-apply.From the infallible Word of God.
"19 For it is written: I will make the wisdom of the wise [men] perish, and the intelligence of the intellectual [men] I will shove aside. 20 Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the debater of this system of things? Did not God make the wisdom of the world foolish? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not get to know God, God saw good through the foolishness of what is preached to save those believing. 1Cor 1How can a fool moderate a "Christian Forum"?
Is someone holding a gun to your head? Last I knew this was Erwin's forum. There is a 'Logout' button.I agree with you.
It would have been better for Erwin to sell CF than to sell out like this...
More like different views of the same Jesus, but there are already a lot of different opinions there. It's natural that people have different views, because we're not clones, and each person understands the world around him/her in a different way.I think he's speaking to the fact that everyone to some degree projects aspects of themselves upon Jesus. When you talk to alot of people you find out they've done this when Jesus suddenly loves the same things they love and hates the same things they hate. The Westboro Baptist Church is a good example of such a behavior. In short, he's addressing idolatry, which is probably going to be running rampant in here now. Since all you have to do is merely say you're a Christian now, you're gonna see alot of different Jesus's in this forum.
Of course I was serious.:

I seriously hope you were joking and this post isn't serious
God created His ordained Governments and has effectively turned it over to those who have no respect for God. Is this any different?Only people rule in CF. That's the problem.
Always has been, always will be.
That is because Erwin is not God, and he has effectively turned it over to those who have no respect for God, Jesus, or any other Christian who is devout.
In a way, Erwin has greased the squeakiest wheels and pandered to those with personal ideals of ethics that have nothing to do with either the Holy Bible or the faithful Christians for centuries.
This is modern world "Christianity; it is secular because that is the version that today's trends demand.
Erwin has made his choice. The rest will be interesting to watch. This is liberalism put to the acid test. And there just may well be more acid than ever seen before.
So Erwin's unlocked the basement door to allow the crazy Aunts and Uncles to see the light of day and already we're trying to push them back down before they even get up the stairs?
Are we afraid they'll get mud on the carpet? Scare the neighbors? Drink all the milk and put the carton back in the fridge empty?
All of these things we have already done. We've really made a mess of this house. Now Erwin's offering up a clean sweep and we're ready to blame the basement dwellers for messes they might make all while we've got muck covering our own hands.
The name calling is getting pretty bad in this thread.

That doesn't mean others aren't claiming it (divine inspiration) for himYa. "God's Rules" Every cult leader in history wanted his followers to follow "God's Rules".
Thankfully Erwin isn't arrogant enough to claim divine inspiration, or I'd probably be leaving too.
to quote my 4 year old, "Well, DUH!"Church is spiritual. Not organizational or body. Christians as a community is a CHURCH.
And yes, they did meet as a "church" in people's homes.
You are right. Its the believers who are the problem. I can see the unbelievers behave better in other forums. What example we are setting. Are we Christ-like or doctrine-lovers?If all the not-christians were booted out we would still be at each others throats. They are not the problem. We are.
http://www.christianforums.com/t5657050-a-new-cf-an-old-vision.htmlCan some one link to the statements that erwin has made please?
