So. What's the consensus from the "End of the world camp?" Who's the biggest threat to CF? The evil mormons, the permissive pagans, the nasty non-nicenes, the skeptical atheists or the dolphin spouses?
Aarrgghh - so many post to respond to on the old thread!
Jim, I totally agree that you cannot understand scripture without the Holy Spirit, but do you understand that with only the Holy Spirit you might drift away?
I'm with Yeshuasteddy on this - this thread is all about you, according to you. I want it to be all about what CF was supposed to be about - Jesus!
There ya go!As long as we can still laugh together, who cares what the other believes?

i aint referrin to you specifically mate. if anyone can be bothered to trawl through 3 threads, theyll see crap behavior from both sides. none of it acceptable.Erwin is one man, and he has made huge efforts to allow others to steer the direction of this site over the past few years, He has done everything including apparently taking a back seat on his own site. He thinks, and I am inclined to agree with him, that this has not produced the desired results, and will never produce the desired results. Given that his time is not limitless, and CF is not his only commitment, he has chosen to make some unilateral changes. Time will tell whether this will bring us closer to the desired vision, but it is not the changes alone which will make the real difference. It is also the attitude of each one of us posting here. Any attempt to do anything with this site could be undermined and sabotaged by those who wish to see it fail. If we value CF, I think we try and give it the best chance of success we can, and reevaluate as we go along. After all, we are now for the first time ever going to be able to influence what direction this site takes. Personally my own concern is not that it will be too open and free, but that once the site is rejigged, those of us who prefer to hide behind rules and legalism will pull the shutters down again and take us somewhere worse.
I think that is a little dramatic. This is a message board. What is there to be afraid of?
I think condemning something before you know what it is is wrong. However, people are free to come and go as they please, what is wrong is the attitude with which many are leaving. Many of the parting words we have seen on this thread have not been particularly kind ones.
It is not my intention to show a lack of love, and I apologise if that is how I come across. I'm just saddened by the hostility that so many of my brothers and sisters in Christ are displaying over this issue, and I want to call them on it, but I want to do it gently and with love.
a bit dramatic, dont ya think? oh ya, i forgot your not gonna respond..I never thought I'd post back in this website since I left a long time ago, however I was informed about everything and I decided to speak what is on my mind.....
I will not care what anyone thinks, nor will I care what anyone says. The words you will see are my last on this website and I will NOT respond to you, even if You PM me, I will delete them without a response.
This is now a website like the rest on the internet, it is no longer a Christian Website. I AM not blinded, and I and I know that many like me sees God no longer dwells here! I am sorry Erwin but you just made CF become Satan's playground. You opened all the windows and doors for his devouring hunt on people!
People can take scripture and twist it to their own likings!! And just to please people the website you created has become tainted! People can say, "God is leading me." How sad that this world has forgotten that Satan comes in the Angel of light and HE can lead people off into the wrong path!
How many people will see how this website will make them spiritually sick, angry, or heartbroken? Or will they become blinded?!
Coming back here to even post this, I see the many heartbroken people on here. Your vision you created for "All Christians to be Reunited as One Body" has dispersed and evaporated only to be carried away by the past memories of what once was.
I have seek God's forgiveness on how much time I wasted on here in the past instead of finding him in his own words.....the Bible! A Holy Book that will never alter by peoples own selfish cravings and unholy desires because it DOES NOT fit their "certain" lifestyle! You altered the website so it CAN fit peoples own selfish wants and unholy desires!
You gave Satan the keys to each and every door on the website!
Christ will be calling his Sheep away from here, and those who hear the Shepard's voice will respond and follow!!
CF now stands for CHRIST FORGOTTEN!
My last words on the website and I bid Farewell to this Place Forever!
I don't think people will give much credibility to someone who just joined CF, and all post have been in this thread alone.
I'm with Lisa. Some Christians are using deception.....not something I'd want from a message board staff member.
timeline thread?? what timeline thread...could you provide a link to it?" For what it's worth, it was not an easy decision but something that I believe that God wants me to do. CF is my burden and carry it I will."
This is a quote from Erwin in his timeline thread. Somehow it eases my mind. And it also shows me that I am out of line trying to impose my will on Erwin's website.
Except this is coming from a man who has been known to be gone for months at a time without any support for his staff at all." For what it's worth, it was not an easy decision but something that I believe that God wants me to do. CF is my burden and carry it I will."

Tolerance isn't a religion, it's an attitude towards other people.Um, perhaps the new religion of tolerance is not the best way to disciple new believers?
i dont need credibility. this aint bout me either. she and i spoke bout it. if you wanna believe im someone i aint cos it means ya can ignore what im sayin you have at it. makes no difference to me. ppl tend to prescribe qualities to others they themselves possess. what can i say.I don't think people will give much credibility to someone who just joined CF, and all post have been in this thread alone.
