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.

I disagree, Church began on the day of the Pentecost.

Actualy,Jehovah's witnesses take the bible and Jesus's teachings very seriously,and I have never heard of any violent act by them.


]]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 me in the past on occasion.

"Actualy,Jehovah's witnesses take the bible and Jesus's teachings very seriously,and I have never heard of any violent act by them."

Yep, they take it so seriously that they had to write their own translation that differs in a lot of areas from the standard Christian ones.

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.

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.

They have started on what is a very slippery slope of accepting all.

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!

If all the not-christians were booted out we would still be at each others throats. They are not the problem. We are.

preach it

 

[pgp_protector]

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?

There an accessory about as much as a Christian book store selling a "Christian" bumper sticker to a "non Christian"
I.E. None.

We all have knives. It's 1183 and we're barbarians!

And Jesus wept.

Well, not because of the changes CF, because they will make it a place better for everyone, hopefully.

 

[Zecryphon]

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.

Which forum is that? I'd like to check it out.

 

[Naomi4Christ]

Chaps, this is another reminder that we are still under the current CF rules until the time that they are replaced.

There are some flames on this thread that we will be cleaning up.

Please do share your views, but respect those of others as well and try not to get personal (especially if it's negative ).

I believe Ignore will still work.

When you find trolls or people you really don't want to listen to, click on there name & add to the ignore list. Works wonders.

You said this better I could in all of my posts.

 

[geocajun]

thanks for that--I have studied the scriptures for many years and never knew until now that the Apostle Paul was a "borderline heretic"
very informative

You can learn all sorts of stuff just like that around here

From what I can gather each forum of members will set its own rules so if you want to restrict posting you can.

 

[Zecryphon]

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

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

Since you're comparing CF to a church, exactly who are churches primarily for? Christians or seekers?

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.

I disagree, Church began on the day of the Pentecost.

uh, read it again, that's what I said. Christ gave the great commission BEFORE PENTECOST.

slow down and read more carefully
You both said the same thing.

If those 5-6 people jump in, they'll be derailing and presumably stopped, no?
