Why don't you keep your sarcasm to yourself?

Why? It seems similar windbags are chiming in with ridiculous hyperbole and self importance on this thread.

It seems the same Luddites whining are often the ones I recognise as continually complaining who is or is not a "Real" Christian according to their definition.

Luddites.

Okay, so if this is more community oriented now, where was the poll to take Christ out of the domain name?

Did I miss it?

And what kind of christian would even argue for that?

Yup, I've looked for the poll...can't find one.

yes , that's correct , Christian "camps" are now lower down the page than the atheist camp (GA) :wave:
Sad.:help:

one that thinks the name Christ is nothing special , i mean this is secularism for you who hasn't seen X-mas cards , still no room in the world for Christ.

I agree with you. It's time christians stopped complaining about athiests being happy with the changes. I've only seen one athiest who really complained and I believe it was a sock puppet. I think you guys have been very cool about the whole thing. :thumbsup:
Um, they don't get up this early on Saturdays... wait till later tonight!! ;)

Haha, look around in this thread. I've seen maybe 10 people that actually presented themselves as kind, loving people. Everyone else looks like they want to grab a pitch fork and go to Erwin's house. It's sad.

It seems as if you and all the others thinking we are whiners are missing the entire point of this whole post!

CHRIST'S NAME WAS REMOVED!
Yes, I shouted!
All of the Christian forums was moved to the bottom of the page!
Whining? NO! I don't think so.
Standing up for Christ? YES! I think so.
I'm a Christian, sir, and proud of it.

Because he or she is right. Some of those other places are rank cesspools of cruelty and emotional violence, say nothing of spiritual rape and the molestation of conscience. It's like Romans 14 was never even written....

The rules still apply, people. Do not flame members or groups of members - that includes saying or implying that a self-professed Christian is not a Christian. This is obviously a time when emotions are running high, but please take a moment before posting to think about whether you're being respectful towards the other members in your post.

I see... you are seeing this as he is doing this for "money" for himself. That's an interesting observation. Do you have facts to support that observation?

if its not, then erwin should have no problem posting his financials for CF then, right? dont hold your breath! :p

I am shocked but not surprised.

The site is much more sale-able now Erwin give it a few months and all those Bible believing Christians will go away and then you will have something worth selling.

Not to worry there are places to go

http:://www.conservative-christian-forums.com

http://www.christcenteredforums.com

http://www.carm.org

http://www.fresh-hope.com

http://hisholyspace.com

I encourage all Christians of good faith to go to these places to fellowship.

BTW Yes I am a principle at http://www.conservative-christian-forums.com and before a mod takes and removes that link your rules say I need a pecuniary interest in the site. CCF is free and we DO NOT accept donations. We would rather you feed the hungry and clothe the naked in your own community.


Praying for your soul Erwin. Blow the dust off your Bible there is something there you need to see:

Mat 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.


Pastor George


Thank you for the links, I had considered doing this privately but if one is standing on the rock he can be seen in the light :)

Exactly.

Some boards on CF are like that too - but it is less than it was a year or two ago.

Ya, so we can concentrate on bashing Erwin :doh:

You summed it up. Like Adam and Eve, we are looking for someone to "BLAME". So, the focus is on Erwin. Before we blame, we must be careful that we lay the blame where it is deserved.

You know, I think Erwin was rather clear on his intent of this remaining a Christian value site. I would not be so concerned about that right now. Don't forget.. Jesus sat with the sinners. It seems to me God has allowed something different in your path -- do you rise to the occasion or run?:prayer:
Jesus did not take His name down "as being the Christ", ie., the Annointed One, so He could get more people to hang out with Him. this is shameful.

It depends, Christians often persecute Christians simply because of the differences of beliefs and desires. From Erwin position, all "types" of Christians were aiming up on him silly issues.
Well all this did is unite at least most Christians against him and this idea. A negative unity. Just great. Even if the mission was impossible it was worth striving for and it was getting closer with every hour and prayer that passed by. Everyone has personal issues. Who are you to call anyone silly ?
