Are there people here who aren't "allowed" into WWMC,

[GreenPartyVoter]

the liberal believers forum, who wish they were?

 

[Rochir]

Yes!

 

[Chrysalis Kat]

Yes!

 

[GreenPartyVoter]

Do we have any chance of changing it so that it really is a liberal Christian forum rather than only a postmodern one?

Not a snowball's chance.

Not a snowball's chance.

Well, that is really too bad.

I have some thoughts about where we can all get together in one place. PM sometime if you want.

Yes, and I'm trying to change this, but it's quickly going nowhere. If you want to let your opinion be known, I have a thread about this trying to appeal to Erwin here: http://www.christianforums.com/t1944807-im-not-quite-sure-where-to-put-this.html

Feel free to raise this in the Suggested New Forums forum but it won't fly if you want it to be in the Creedial Christians Only Forums section of CF.

All right, I added my two cents worth. I may get in trouble for it, but truly just calling a forum "liberal" doesn't make it so.

I don't think there's any chance Erwin is going to change the rules, and I don't really know if it's fair to expect him to. He founded CF and has certain ideas about what he wants to achieve, and I don't know that we can really argue with that. Of course, you can always ask, and I don't think he's the type of person to come down on you just for asking.

The rules as they stand do make it impossible to have a truly liberal forum on CF, and that bothers me enough that I gave up my Christian faith icon over it. Now it kind of bugs me, because there are a couple threads I'd like to post on and can't, but that's okay; if Rochir and CK (for example) are excluded I prefer to be excluded, too.

It also bothers me that it's forbidden to discuss homosexuality, abortion, or any of the other listed controversial subjects in WWMC.

Please PM me with your ideas; I have a couple of my own, and it might be interesting to compare notes.

Where is this "whosoever will may come"?

Thanks.

 

[Tinker Grey]

Nevermind. I found it.

Me too. I don't want to contribute to this thinking so I don't use a cross faith icon. I can't stand the thought that I am allowed in when my brothers and sisters are not.
It does prevent me from posting to a few threads but not enough to make me accept feeling like a hypocrite for doing so.

Awwww And what did the Lord sayeth? Whenever two or more people are assembled in my name, I am with them (or somesuch). he is with us, and He understands: it's sad others cannot see this, but knowing He does should be a comfort!

I would have agreed with you until about 3 weeks ago.

How did that change your mind

 

[PastorJason]

I have to say, while I agree with the opening up of WWMC, I do see the unlikelihood of that actually happening. I stand in solidarity with my brothers and sisters who have changed their faith icons in protest, and I would change mine, except I'm holding out for another faith icon to be added. Changing mine now might kill that discussion.

I will say, however, that we who remain at WWMC miss the voices of those who have changed their faith icons, just as we miss the potential of voices who may not be as trinitarian as the admin thinks they ought to be, given their official interpretation of the Nicene Creed.

I, for one, think the creed is wide in its meaning, and I'm not sure I'm even Trinitarian enough to be considered Christian, due to my differing views of Hellenist orthodoxy. (yeah, I'm probably a heretic) But that's another thread.

Wouldn't answering that violate Rule 7.1?
