Why? The Holy Spirit is perfectly capable of teaching all about Jesus and salvation from the OT. That's all Jesus and the apostles and Paul had?

I love Old Testament and I have learned more about the Old Testament by reading the New Testament. New Testament gave me a better picture. New Covenant is sealed in the blood of Jesus, Who is our Savior and Mediator, brought us together with His Grace and Mercy that we have great spiritual and eternal freedom. The Old Testament priests, sacrifices, and sanctuary are superseded by the mediation of Jesus, the crucified, risen, and reigning God-man (Heb. 1-10), in whom believers now find their identity as the seed of Abraham and the people of God (Gal. 3:29; 1 Pet. 2:4-10). Hebrews 9:15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

We are easy prey to fretfulness when our gaze are fixed CF's future rather than trusting God.

Philippians 4:6
(The Message) Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.

What a joke on Erwin!
Well now that's just rude. Shame on you. After all the years of service that he has put into this forum and doing what he felt he should at the time, because it doesn't please some of us we are now going to start mocking him for his heart felt visions?

I say again, shame on you.

No warnings. There were flames galore before, now it will be nothing but.
Sorry, but everyone who calls themself christian isn't.
This place will be a board which turns people away from God. Huge mistake. I will be proven right.

Wow! I cannot believe this is still going. I know we are all in different time zones, but did anyone go to church today?

No, I've watched CF go from a wonderful Christian forum to a badly neglected garden with lots of snakes. I can actually understand why Erwin said that he hated coming on here - probably because his child was so out of control it needed reform school, but that's neither current philosophy or PC. Instead, he's decided to allow CF to commit suicide. Unfortunately as it's headed for the bridge abutment at 100 mph, it's going to take along a whole bunch of innocent bystanders.

Edited to add: I also was a mod and I left both the mod-ship (forever) and CF for about 6 months due to no longer being allowed to preach the gospel for fear of offending. God brought me back though I'm now praying for a release.

You know what? The sort of warfare that has been going on in this thread and its predecessors is precisely why CF will never achieve its vision without a renewing of minds and spirits.

The question here is, when did God has given you the grace to handle CF's situation? Now if one is consumed by preoccupation on focusing CF issues, then God's Great Commission is lost. It is not good to attempt to understand why CF is changing but we are to simply trust God regardless what we go through.

I do not want to be a moderator, but I would like to be someone who helps defuse arguments. I would like to be a peacemaker and a praisemaker. I also would like to offer my services in analyzing data for the site. I am a Cost Analyst and I am pretty good at taking data and presenting it in a variety of ways that will offer insight into what the majority wants to do with the site.

Amen to that! I just think we need to do a lot of praying about all of this. For Erwin, and for the cf site and mission and ministry

Erwins mistake was presuming that it was impossible for God to lead him in a new direction. None of us knows the mind of God or what he is going to call us to do next.

That was a direct quote from your last post on the last thread.
