It seems clear that many of the Christians here are concerned for how new Christians and those weak in the faith might be affected; given that certain changes are non-negotiable, what would you propose to help protect them?


There are subforums in the CHURCH area that are geared towards younger Christians; perhaps you could join in on writing the rules there so that certain expressions you feel are unbiblical won't be able to be promoted there?

A claim which could as easily be made of every church by every other church. Most, thankfully, are a bit more reasonable than that.
Doesn't even equate.
"Uniting all Christians as One Body"
"Christian Forums"

Should be renamed to (Unequally yoked)

I haven't seen much chaos. Seen a lot of people of different faiths working together. Not much chaos except, well, here.

True... He's killed Christian Forums... it is now Secular Forums, and Erwin is bordering on Heresy by accepting LDS and JW as Christians.
I don't think he is accepting them, I think he is allowing them to believe they are, which they do anyway, but we know better.

Well I have to say, Erwin, you have lost MANY MANY Christians from this site. You have made a gigantic mistake... And I guarantee you, you will NOT receive anymore donations from me, ever again.

Thanks; you've reminded me that I need to support, myself.

The rules can be modified by anyone and they cannot be enforced by anyone anyway. The only duty of a mod now is a janitorial service.

Yes -- largely, those who are more concerned about their own power base than about the job their God gave them to do while on earth.

Correct. I am not saying that I accept them as Christians personally - this website is accepting a member's right to use the icon if they wish to self-identify with it.

Well I guess it's good for erwin that he will recieve support from unbelievers to keep his site running while most Christians cease all monies.

Erwin I hope you have thought long and hard about this. This place is your responsibility and we will all have to give an account.

No warnings, maybe, but rulebreaking posts can be deleted. Also, even in the core rules discussion, we haven't had too many instances of people editing in changes when it was clear that the main thrust of the community's desire was in the opposite direction.

That's not entirely right - for example, some of the congregational subforums are coming up with rules that will severely restrict debate by non Nicene-Creed believing members - if that's what the members of those subforums want, they are free to set up those rules for their subforums. As long as non-Christians can still post in there to ask questions.

That is what you are calling them now? Non nicene-creed believing members? They are non-Christians... Call them by what they are!

Erwin, you are either Christian, or you aren't. There is no in between.

LDS and JW belong in the same section as Islam, Buddhism, Athiesm, Judaism, Hinduism, etc...
