Moderate Christians Statement of Purpose:
This forum is for those who find themselves being open to new ideas and societal changes while clinging to their historical beliefs of the Christian faith. Moderate Christians believe in treating others fairly. Ministers and moderate Christians tend to be more accepting of more modern language and translations of the Bible. Moderate Christians believe in the Bible but remain open to new understanding of it, which can include being based in culture and God given reasons.
There are many denominations that would fit into the Moderate Christians forums, and participation here would be central to the unity of similar beliefs with growth and understanding of scriptures. It is for discussion, rather than debate of these understandings on subjects that are specific to moderate Christians. If you wish to debate theology, please go to General Theology or one of it's sub-forums where appropriate debate can be held.
Forum Guidelines:
When speaking about well-known, revered, and highly regarded past or present leaders, teachers, or pastors (living or deceased) within the Moderate Christian faith group, please show a measure of respect. These public religious figures are respected by CF members from a wide range of churches and movements. Please avoid using inflammatory words or phrases in reference to these public religious figures. Focus on discussing the beliefs and teachings of these leaders (e.g. whether it is biblical or not), but don't mock these leaders as it disrupts civil discussion.
Homosexuality and Same Sex Marriage:
Homosexuality and same sex marriage may be discussed in this forum, however, no promotion of these topics is allowed. Promotion is defined as encouragement of the progress, growth, or acceptance of something including advertising and publicity.
House Rules:
All posts within this faith community must adhere to the site wide rules found here (Community Rules). In addition, if you are not a member of this faith group, you may not debate issues or teach against its theology. You may post in fellowship. Active promotion of views contrary to the established teachings of this group will be considered off topic.
