I don't mind being labled a sheep because a sheep always follows it's Master and not a stranger.

*baaa, baaa!*

At least you're honest.

You're not a christian because you probably judge christianity by the character of people rather than by Jesus. Because if you truely understood christianity and that it's about Him, the cross, the blood, freedom, love and the victory, then in what way can you even say that you're not a christian?? That doesn't make sense..........unless you don't like what Christ has to offer...perhaps??

I just look at the fruits of Christianity, and I see mostly bad. Bad ideas, bad reasoning, horrible attitudes and it's the institution of Christanity that is to blame.

I got no beef with someone believing in Christ, but no matter how much you deny it, there is more to the religion than that. There's dogma, there's politics, there's creeds, and doctrines, and bureaucracy and tradition and this and that and none of it has anything to do with Christ. That's what I got a beef with.

welcome to the real world, sinners and sinner/saints living together.

Observation: younger people don't have a problem with the name change, while older people do. I've noticed that older people have a problem with change and teenagers and young adults basically don't care as long as the actual format doesn't change. You're blowing it way out of proportion. You can start worrying when they start allowing cussing and create a non-Christians only section.

I have made an observation as well
Your above comment was remarkably similar to a prior comment of Yours.

You really are overreacting a bit. It would be different if they removed the cross from the entire site and even more if they removed the word "Christian" from the title. They didn't though. That little removal means nothing.

Young people have not been around long enough to comprehend what change actually means, in most cases.

The old timers aren't as foolish as you believe them to be, they know a good deal more than we give them credit for.

I find it prophetic that you called it by the way.

Why would anyone deny it? When you have over 2000 years of history you are of course going to have...well history.
I mean come on when you have millions of people following something there's going to be people you disagree with, it might help to look around for people you could agree with.

Hey GUNNY

I have been. I promise I have been.

hoping she doesn't see my fingers crossed

I'm not a Gunny, I'm a SSgt

Thanks for the promotion though


I see those crossed fingers...don't make me take you to my "beach" (evil grin here)

 

[Ringo84]

it won't end when you have those of us who believe in the inerrant Word of God having liberalism shoved down out throats as acceptable of who God and Christ is.

So-called "liberalism" is being "shoved down your throats"? Please. This is an online community with members of vastly different faith backgrounds. "Liberalism" is not being "shoved down throats" any more than sonservatism".

If you can't handle people that disagree with your interpretation of the Bible and other issues, I suggest you go elsewhere. People disagreeing with you is a fact of life online.

There is nothing wrong with a secular forum where anybody can meet and post. However, I joined a "Christian Forum" to post and fellowship with other Christians. It would be kind of like me joining a forum about baseball because I really love baseball. And then one day they change it and it is no longer a baseball forum, but a sports forum, and you now have threads about diving, hockey, roller derby, horse racing, etc... and baseball has a little section somewhere.

A name change doesn't affect your ability to post and fellowship with other Christians. It's all semantics.

I'm afraid you completely missed the point.

 

[Ringo84]

No, because you seemed to indicate that by changing the name of this forum, the "Christian" had been taken out of the forums. It's not true. Nothing has really changed except for a few rules and the name.

forgive me if Im wrong, but I seem to remember when I was here years back that this forum has always had nonbelievers as members
What is stopping any christian here from fellowshipping with other believers here?

Then why are you here in a Christian forum? You aren't going to like what we have to say.

rolling eyes....PLEASE

I can handle people disagreeing with me. I don't put up with the pompous attitude...looking straight at the post.

Nothing is stopping posting, but something is sure being used as an excuse to whine.

Huntingman, I say we give 'em an hour's headstart & then release the dogs. You locked & loaded? I'll bring the beer.

The fact is that it has, since now it's Buddhism, secualrism, crazy forums. Christians get attacked in their own apologetics forum now.
