  • 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.

Hi,

Would it be possible to divide eschatology into subforums? There is an increasing amount of animosity and flaming among those who hold different opinions and it's difficult to have any kind of meaningful discussion because of this. Based on what I've seen there, I think it would work best if the forums were divided as follows:

- Partial Preterism
- Historicism
- Futurism
- Current Events and Conspiracy Theories

I also think that a person's end times view as stated in their profile should limit which forums they can post on. And the "Current Events and Conspiracy Theories" forum should be limited to futurists.

Thanks in advance to whoever reads this. :wave:

In order to delve into the finer details of understanding and veiwpoint, it would be nice to have the subforms for those of like minds to converse. While there are vast differences even in the subforms suggested, at least it narrow down the field of controversy. I think the idea has great potential.

We can keep the open forum for the free for all. But it would be more peaceful for those who would like to focus on an area and explore the little nuances of it.

We could use a little reorganization in the system.....or an attitude adjustment..
There is always going to be some contention of viewpoint,but i agree there is a certain amount of uncalled for animosity that this may or may not fix...i vote we give it a shot and see how it works in practice....Perhaps well get less "overlip"

I would REALLY like to see this too! I get tired of 'debating' everything, when I just want to study something. My views tend to clash with many on end times stuff, so I can't post anything without people jumping in to disgree and post their views...it gets really old...I get tired of repeating myself all the time...which is a waste of time when I just want to study with others like minded on my views on this. This way I can find out for sure if this view is correct in lining up with the bible or needs to be thrown out. As things stand now, with all views on one fourm nothing really gets done as far as learning and I mostly just end up avoiding that fourm all together...:(

Thanks!

God bless
