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.

Ah, nothing like a good, old-fashioned schism and eventual board-war.

A Christian MUST believe:

1. That the Universe was created by God.

2. That the Bible is the reliable Word of God.

3. That we are all sinners who are destined to go to hell.

4. That God came to earth as Jesus Christ and promised that if we repent of our sins, and ask God as the Holy Spirit to guide us for the rest of our existence according to His will, that we will have eternal life and a place with Him in Heaven.


If you do not believe in precisely what has been stated, then according to my interpretation of the Bible, you are not a Christian.

But only God can judge.

What should Christian Forums do to be, as much as possible, a Church; that is, a body of repentent believers who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ?
Well, I somehow doubt it would involve allowing anyone with an opinion decide what the teachings of Jesus Christ were.

They deny He is the Son of God and our Savior. This makes them anti-Christian.

i disagree
taking about being pro christ,and not doing what he teached is against Christ

Jehovas witnesses as far as I know,act what they preach,that at least makes them honest

Its kind of comforting to know I will never make it onto staff on CF.

I dont think the process will favour popular people,I actualy have faith in members,that they woul dchose the wise,honest and confortting people,also,it will be done for specific forums,and you may not get any vote in friendship,but you may get one in debate



No.
Erwin took responsibility back,because what is going on here,is nothing he wants to be associated with.
You don't even know what and how it will be,and you are already sulking.
WHat happened to trusting God?
Why don't you just try to put your trust in Him?

Churches should have open doors. CF now has an open door. That is good.

CF is nothing like any Church, CF has no belief system and its members do not share beliefs or even at times the same religion. A Church has a natural defense against trouble makers in its uniformity. CF has no uniformity, just a mass of differing and irreconcilable viewpoints. People could always read, allowing them to post in inappropriate areas isnt opening the Church its letting them have the pulpit.....

I'm a Christian and I don't believe in everything on that list.


Uhhhh...there's the rub. How can I tell you 'Christians believe at least everything on that list' without also at least implicitly implying 'you are not a Christian'.

I remember years ago a JW attempting to speak to my better side approached me with hushed words "we are all Christians " ........

.. I thought straightway what a giveaway , I smell wolf NOT sheep!
Well, the wolf has just been welcomed in to evangelize for satan.

I do trust completely in God. The problem is, He's led me away from this site and it's heretical format.

If you do not believe in precisely what I have stated, then in my opinion, you are not a Christian.

But only God can judge.

Luckily, your opinion is unimportant. Maybe you should look up what God said on the matter.

I don't recall the chapter and verse, but it goes something like "Anyone who professes that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead shall be saved."

Doesn't seem to mention any of that other stuff you listed.

But... that's a discussion for a different time and place, I think.

Sane rules???? You mean like rules that give staff freedom to do .. . .well basically anything and interpret rules whichever way they please The new situation at CF will mean that staff will be held accountable for their actions, your rules allow your staff to do whatever they please with no accountability.

You don't seem to understand the concept of staff accountability. Just because you can't see what goes on in the background doesn't mean we don't hold staff to the same standards as the general membership in every way. But if you're so concerned with rules and regulations and legalizations, that's your prerogative. We try to run the site as an organic entity and enforce the rules only when absolutely necessary.
