Well, not all Christians are Biblical fundamentalists, so what you believe to be true can be different than what some other Christians believe to be true.
This has been my exac position Trusting.Yes, I understand this.
Well, perhaps it was time for me to find a more Biblical based forum anyway.
As I said, the hateful attitudes were running me off anyway.
PS:
Erwin, now I'm somewhat confused. Am I reading this correctly, that you bid on the new domain name on July 26, when folks on CF were still earnestly discussing the direction? If this is accurate, then could you explain a bit more about your process in coming to this decision?
Thanks,
Mac
Erwin...
You gave us options to vote on . You played a bad game with people here. You should not have done that. You led us to believe you were thinking things over and then slam you hit with a vengeance by taking CHRIST NAME off this site.
Vengeance is not yours or mine. It belongs to the Lord !
very trueRead my profile - I have lived in the States over 25 years.
And I said "bloody" not blood.
(And blood means blood for most people anyway.)
This is just a shame. First he deceives us then he deceives Christ!!Originally Posted by Erwin
Hi members
This poll, started by drstevej, was PMed to me recently. I think that it does make a good point and I wanted it moved out of the Conservative Christians forum to the Announcement forum to gather input from other members as well.
The issue here is whether CF's name should be changed and its vision modified to reflect its current framework.
This site at the moment is at a cross-roads, and can go either way. It can either become:
1. A safe social community site with a heavy and strong Christian influence (with the vision being to offer a safe online community, and a secondary vision being to allow Christians to outreach to non-Christians) - which will allow for a name change;
OR
2. Return to a more restricted Christians-only site with a heavy emphasis on uniting mainstream Christians only with a less emphasis on outreach, in which case we keep the name.
Bear in mind that options 1 and 2 are both valid - there is a place for either forums.
I think that at this moment members are frustrated because CF is halfway between options 1 and 2, so members are confused as we have a vision that belongs to option 2 but a setup that is more like option 1.
Therefore, I think we need to make a decision.
I'm going to leave this up to the community. I've extended the above poll to 3rd of August.
I will listen to the members here, and will defer to the final decision.
Please feel free to discuss this issue in this thread.
I bolded the above items.
This is to Erwin and anyone else who would like to chime in...
Exactly why did you post this if you were not going to abide by your words?

What's your take on it Kerr?I disagree with your conclusion here.
Lisa if I am not mistaken (please forgive me if I am) after the 777 debacle many old Erwin posts were presented in which he said things like there would never be non-Christian moderators as long as he was Webmaster, and that the Nicene Creed would be the measure of a Christian as long as he was webmaster. When these were pointed out to you did you not respond with something like. "Haven't you ever changed your mind?"Originally Posted by Erwin

That is a good question you shall never receive a satisfying answer for.

ALL ERWIN HAD TO DO WAS BETTER DEFINE THE TERM "CHRISTIAN" - to solve most of the fighting at CF!
WHere did you find these figures?
I can't believe that "all gods are equal", because I'm a monotheist,
so I believe there's one God. But I have no idea how a discussion which looks like this:
"You're following a false Christ!"
"No, you are!"
"You're wrong!"
"No, I'm not!"
can be considered meaningful. And that kind of discussion is encouraged if telling other that they aren't "true Christians" is allowed.
What's your take on it Kerr?
Feel very much the same here...
Are you offering refinds on donations made to ChristianForums???
