I disagree, Church began on the day of the Pentecost.to quote my 4 year old, "Well, DUH!"
yes, I know the church is spiritual, but the "spritual church" or any church in any form did not exist when Christ uttered the words you quoted.
Christ uttered those words when he rose to heaven, the church was born some ten days later at Pentecost.

]]You mean...we havent made the new rules yet ?
Maybe she is not scared of the vote..Abiel is a veteran on staff,and I don't think she need sto worry about the vote..despite the fact she crossed some people..including mein the past on occasion.
This thread shows me the true distain some Christians have for those who aren't Christian. I'm utterly disgusted. Erwin is wise in his decisions, its already allowing many intentions and negative prejudices be brought to light.
I'm sick of WAR mentality. I am not a force of evil to be fought against. I am not a pawn of evil either. I am not persecuting you by simply existing or discussing important topics. I am a human being, just like you. I just don't have knowledge of Christ like you do. If you think that makes me less than you, a threat to you or your family, a threat to the forum, or a threat to live as you please, you're dead wrong.
Though some would label me a gay liberal babykiller simply because of my lack of Christ, I understand the vast majority of Christians here are reasonable people. Thank you for being what you are and showing the love that Christ talked about.
They have started on what is a very slippery slope of accepting all.
Very true, that does and can happen both on a forum and in real life. And it's not really the icons alone here that is bothering me, it's those coupled with the lack of an actual statement of faith. Because basically now, and Jehovah's Witness could use a Christian black cross icon and based on this, there would be no accountability for it. You can say that it's just a silly little bunch of pixels, but it's kind of being an accessory to a lie. Do you see what I'm saying?
If all the not-christians were booted out we would still be at each others throats. They are not the problem. We are.
Well, not because of the changes CF, because they will make it a place better for everyone, hopefully.And Jesus wept.
Which forum is that? I'd like to check it out.Oh, the only reason I don't stand and fight at CF is because I have a perfectly good forum with sane rules and protocol that I administrate, and it's thriving right now. I don't need to waste my time here if CF is going down the crapper.
I believe Ignore will still work.No friend you are not the enemy. You are a dear creation of God and I will always treat you as such.
My problem is not with respectful, kind and wonderful non Christians, of which I have met many.
It is with the acid spiiters. those whose life goal is to tear down our faith and ridicule everything we believe in. You know they exist. You know that is their goal.
And now they have free run of this forum. There is no place to discuss Christianity anymore, as Christianity no longer has a definition or a defense on this site. I cannot ask my brothers about how to avoid or fight temptation, without 5 or 6 people jumping in and telling me that temptation is a myth, and there is no sin.
There is no control or stability anymore.
You said this better I could in all of my posts.Which is exactly what Jesus did, and still does.
He even accepts the "doctrinally correct know-it-all" Pharisees...although he challenges the way they believe and live their lives most of all.
If it's a slippery slope, then I, for one, am glad that CF is slidin' with Jesus!

I would guess that this will work until Erwin discovers that it will directly conflict with his open to all policy. Then it will go bye bye.From what I can gather each forum of members will set its own rules so if you want to restrict posting you can.
