They do now- once the ban (maximum one year ) is up. And I am sure there are many undectected socks out there.
In time... waiting for CF to change before I make a move.It is, our friend is well known I was just hoping to get him to tip his hand.
Becuase in this thread I haven't seen it.
We are all called to do that. I don't see any exceptions in the commands to put on the armor, to be ready in season and out of season, and so on. This is a major problem in the church today. "I am not called to do that". It's crap to be honest. Anyway you said you were leaving so you may as well get to shaking the dust off your sandals. This thread isn't the place for theological debate. If you want to continue in this vein then start a thread and I'll pop over.Well, I'm just not called to that, I don't think. I feel my calling is to seasoned Christians and I don't feel there is an area left for that. Cie la vie!
I fall in neither category and Preaching the Truth being against the rules will be the inevitable result of removing anything that is a measure of truth. We've started with the NC, Scripture will be next.This accusation always comes up whenever a board makes major changes.
It comes primarily from two camps, those who really feel that they'll be persecuted on their own board, and those who actually enjoy using the Bible to insult and belittle others.
The first group should have a little more faith in the board and in the people they've shared so much time with. They won't be persecuted for quoting Scripture.
The second group is usually the cause of the new rules, and they usually give the loudest opposition. Hence, the accusation spreads as though it were truth. They should be sent packing, IMO.
It is not fear. It is that not everyone welcomes the change.
When I signed up as a member not that long ago, it was in hopes of finding a place to rest with my Christian family. I am on other forums where I am a witness of my faith, but when I came here it was in hopes of fellowship with Christians. Now that the rules of membership have changed, it will be just like other the boards. It is no longer unique in the way that drew me to it.
Under my old user-name, it was Christians beating up Christians.Christians beating up on christians. See, we need not worry about the atheists.

So there goes the shutins, the seasoned Christian gatherings and all you got left is babysitting. Period. I don't care if you agree or not.
Ok...
I agree with some but it just means people willt ake advantage, they will swear, be nasty, Debates will get ahrsher becuase they wont get warnings...
If you are so concerned with shut ins--why not start your own on line forum?
Oh come on, we all know the one who argues the longest win.
You win.
You are wrong. It is a departure of trying to enforce the truth. It is not a departure from the truth. You cannot discern a man's heart and if you claim you can then you are a liar. God is the only one who knows who will be saved. Not you. Not me. Not Erwin. This stops bad doctrine from being hidden and not addressed. It stops divisions amongst Christians. It stops the conservative elite from enforcing their ideals upon Christians who don't agree with their cabal. I am a conservative in both politics and religion and have no fear of these changes. I am not afraid of my faith being attacked. I am not scared of challenges to my beliefs. If those things strike fear then there are problems beyond an open forum that need to be dealt with.
This is a forum and not a church. The staff are not ministers they are janitors or should be. Conservatives, like myself, should not be more protected than liberals. Doctrine should not be enforced by the rules of a website. If doctrine cannot withstand attack then maybe we should reconsider our doctrine. If you can't handle assaults on your faith then your faith is lacking and not the rules of some website.
Your crap is in putting everyone into the same box, a militant one at that.We are all called to do that. I don't see any exceptions in the commands to put on the armor, to be ready in season and out of season, and so on. This is a major problem in the church today. "I am not called to do that". It's crap to be honest. Anyway you said you were leaving so you may as well get to shaking the dust off your sandals. This thread isn't the place for theological debate.

You mean that on a presumably Christian site that preaching the Gospel will eventually be against the rules? Yep that is pretty much what I am against. I wouldn't use the word fear though.my goodness. what is it that you are so afraid of? what can be taken away from you by men that God cannot restore 10 fold if He so chooses?
the last time i checked God was still in control of everything, so what is all this talk of fear over what may happen here? nothing has started, it's less than 24 hours, and already people are starting to run away? Why not wait and see what God will do?
It depends, however I do like to see how well Christians behave without being controlled and by their fruits, you will know them.Ok...
I agree with some but it just means people willt ake advantage, they will swear, be nasty, Debates will get ahrsher becuase they wont get warnings...
Is anyone going to reply to my post ~(page 92)
You have never ceased to make me laugh. (in the good way I assure you)In time... waiting for CF to change before I make a move.
