• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Thanks. I kept reading it and trying to fit East Australia Current into the post, but it didn't make sense.

Glad to see the positive feedback for a decision we felt was needed to offer a real balance here. Once the big announcement was made, we were swamped with PMs offering advice / feedback. We (myself, Constance, and MNPHysicist) made the call to make this ammendment. This is a good move that we can all feel good about.

I have to agree. Freedom of speech is accorded to both constitution and law. So are we to think that if a point raised in a Forum discussion on a subject matter connected to Nicene Theology that informs there is an alternate viewpoint to the matter in question that it will be deleted the Forum member given a roasting by a Mod via E-mail? If so I'm all for it, so as long as when non-Nicene Theology members are posting in their Forums the same rules will apply to Nicene Theology Forum members. Then it will be a level playing field. Or it will divide Christians still further and deeper apart. What will it be?

It was aptly discribed to me:

Nicene theology=orthodox... mainstream. Which it is, everyone can agree to that.

Non-Nicene theology=unorthodox... not mainstream... everyone can agree to that.

Both HONESTLY try to follow their understanding of Christ's teachings... we disagree, but both are trying, which is all either can do.

Because non-Nicene's are in the minority... we're the "unorthodox" ones... and as long as "Orthodox Christianity" is defined as the majority dictates... it shouldn't be offensive to allow us an "unorthodox Christian" section without resorting to some of the insults that have been in the past.

it's a different site set up by a person who didn't appreciate the behavior of a lot of people at CF.

Not it isn't. It is a Congregational Forum here on CF. It stands for Whosoever Will May Come. It is the Liberal Congregation.

Okay. Opinion tainted by bad personal experiences perhaps ?
