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.
So basically he's turning it into a money machine and plans to sell it in the future for a much higher price.
I agree.Thank you. To me, it's obvious that this is a reaction to those who were hollering about the new CF being a social site and telling Erwin to take Christian out of the name. I think a rather large bluff has been called.
It will be interesting to see the outcome.
Although I do wish we still were called Christian Forums not to mention I wonder what is going to happen to the mdse. This seems to be a very serious step.
Good Grief! Look at all you Christians complaining about a name?? Where does it say in the Bible that we are to seclude ourselves from society? (Unequally yoked means dont marry! Not hide your light!) Every single day we should be prepared to answer what we believe and why. Every single place we find ourselves, and to every one. We are to go out and witness. Not preach not condemn but SHOW that we believe in our faith.
Where is your faith? Do you not believe God is greater than any problems set before you?
I think Erwin made a good choice. There is no question in my mind he is leaving this to God. I am certainly not going to discourage that. I hope to see things get better and better from here. If you are a Christian that feels that you just cannot handle it, then go. I hate to see it though. I would much rather we all find that place to learn and grow, rather than a place that we stagnate in, or a rut that we have decorated and called home.
So I guess that each forum will be open to all? Or will there be denomination specific places people can congregate in? I am under the impression that each forum should decide for themselves, but are we keeping in line with whoever may post wherever?
2) There is a distinction between 'not getting things my own way' and Satan.
3) No, we atheists are not salivating over these changes.

The Nicene Creed is staying in Theology as long as I'm around. Which might not be much longer.SImple Question:
Is "Christian" still defined here (as it used to be by the Nicene Creed? Anyone?

Actually... this site loaded slowly when I typed ^ that, but when I went to git the links I seen the "faith" icon of the poster an it is an athesits.
Yes you are.Im not complaining of 'just a name'.
Not really. You may think it however.Im standing up for my Lord.
Which hasn't changed.I came here to fellowship with people who love the Lord as I do.
No, I don't think thats the point. Its saying that he bought it like 2 or 3 weeks ago while people were debating about this exact thing. Says, he didn't listen to the debates, the votes, and just made up his own mind. Basically... *shrug*So basically he's turning it into a money machine and plans to sell it in the future for a much higher price.
I sadly have to agree with you on that DrSteve. I just let my granddaughter join and now I am so sorry that I did. She loved CF!! Now I am not sure if it is the right place for her here. I will let her stay for now, but I will definitely have to monitor EVERYTHING she is doing! Unfortunately I can't see where she has visited. This really sucks, you know?I want to commend Erwin for this change. Why? Because it is a needed step in accurately packaging what this site has become and is becoming. With this packaging new Christians and naive Christians will not think they are on a safe site spiritually. That is good given the changes of 7-7-7.
I do not commend the 7-7-7 changes. I believe that was when this site abandoned a biblical core (The Nicene Creed and a trinitarian concept of God as well as some foundational biblical standards of conduct) in favor of a WIKI-driven post modern mindset and authority structure.
Given THAT change (7-7-7) the change today only makes sense. I lays to rest Christian Forums (which had been deceased and was only awaiting a decent burial) and accurately describes what Erwin has decided this site is and will be.
Thus today is a step into accurate presentation. The new label is not the issue, the reforms of 7-7-7 are the issue.
I will likely do some apologetics here if the WIKI rules will allow any biblical truth to be presented. I will not view this as a fellowship site, even in the congregational bunkers.
I would ask Erwin to consider removing pre-teens from the site (Actually I suggest 16 or 18 as a minimum age). This place will get darker and I would not want to encourage young people to socially network here.
WIKI-on, Garth.
Just remember this lovely rule from the Wiki.
Any attempt to intimidate or silence another person/point of view is a rule violation.
Christian Forums fit even less. In fact not at all.
A lot of work went into making this name change. I hope it can be easily reversed, because foru.ms doesn't fit.
Now I am not sure if it is the right place for her here.?
