A new CF, an old vision (4)

[Cassiopeia]

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.

so you can't see this as an opportunity to open up and let the non-Christians learn more about you?

Or is that now you guys can't hide in other forums and talk all about those non-Christians in the other forums? Because now you can't sling at one another, my brand of Christianity is more true than yours. Because now you can't say, My Jesus is the real Jesus and get away with it.

Now, there will be no more pointing and saying, I don't recognize what you are saying as Christian truth therefore you are a heretic.

You mean, Christians may have to endure in ANY part of this forum the very persecution they have inflicted on others?

I don't think you will find people as vindictive as that. You might actually find more peace and harmony amongst the various Christian sects and *gasps* the non-Christians just might gain some respect when you are all called upon to be have like Christians instead of holier than thous.

Sorry but I had that stored up ever since someone DARED to tell me what religion I should be.

Isaiah 43:19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland.

Maybe God is doing a new thing here. I hope and think so.

Because many of us oppose homosexuality does not put us in the same camp as Westboro. You know full well it is one family, but you continually use it for your own purposes. Shame on you.

For all of you who don't know, the greatly feared Westboro Baptist church which is truly abominable is composed of about 30 members of one family - yep, that's daddy, mummy and kids with their spouses and children. It is not a worldwide movement of Baptists. They belong to no baptist convention. They are not Christian.

Actually they are a perfect example of what Erwin will now allow. They think they are Christian, call themselves Christian and can now come among you all here and work their magic! What a joke on Erwin!

To be fair to CaDan I brought them up and I did so to illustrate the last point you made on your post.

 

[Cassiopeia]

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.

Perhaps it is time to learn the language of love that Christ spoke of. Love isn't a debate, it is a state of being. Reach for that love and you will be just fine. Don't mock him and don't assume the worst. Those forces that press you to do so are only harming you and making it difficult for you to feel hope.

This will be true if a new bible is introduced

Truth is truth. SOme people are not christians. All is not relative.

Yeah it is kind of weird coming to CaDan's defense I admit.

Honey, go preach it on a street corner. I'm not buying what you are selling.

Once again, you can "love" your neighbor right into perdition. If you don't warn him, you will need to answer for it.

Even if there was, others will always find a way to twist the words given within. I can only hope

Heretics have been going on for more than 2,000 years and we are not immuned to heretics.

That is true, but is not the Great Commission important! If we block out those who are not, we can not witness to them!

 

[Cassiopeia]

Sir, kindly refrain from being condescending. It doesn't bode well for you or what others may perceive you to be. I am not here to warn my neighbor. I prefer to teach by example. Christ said we are to love one another. In all my years I have never found that condemning and threatening did anything but make someone scared...for AWHILE. Love endures forever and opens many doors. Remember Corinthians and you will do well.

[GraceInHim]

That's how I understand it which is why I am considering becoming a mod.

 

[JoyforJESUS]

I have to go to the store, I will be back in a few minutes. I hope I can catch up when I get back.

 

[ContentInHim]

What of those who believe they are Christians? Do we leave them alone and let them march into the flames? What if one well spoken sentence brought them back to the truth?

BUT what if we are not allowed to speak that sentence, that truth?

Yes, history have demonstrated that almost every heresy that has afflicted Christianity through the years has arisen from believing about God things that are not true, or from over emphasizing certain true things so as to obscure other things equally true.
