• 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.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I didn't read their thread fully to know when or if the processbroke down.

I think that most people at SR aren't even aware what's going on. None of the regulars seem to be posting on it. Maybe they've abandoned the place already...I dunno. I do know that I've been in-and-out a lot lately, and it was a suprise to me. Myself and one other guy were offering suggestions last night, but they seemed to be dismissed out of hand as 'not in line' with what the admin's where looking for. Reformed folks are verbose and precise, and they want our beliefs whittled down to four bullit points. :confused: The other guy (an SR friend of mine of several years) started making some heated posts out of frustration, and the thread was closed. I didn't know anything about this deadline in...what...six-and-a-half hours now?...and the thread has not been reopened. Doesn't look good, to be honest.

Hi GD =) Nice to see you, I know I liked some of
your posts that I had read awhile back. I'm not
100% reformed, but I'm in support of it and my
brother is a reformed Pastor also.

Anyways, yours might not be ending by tonight becuz
you got yours later. We started on ours before your
forum got theirs.
It will probly be later.

Lots could be said, but I'm afraid it would just go to
deletion from staff, so I better not say anything.
I'm sure they're willing to lose alot here w/ the changes
in hopes of restructuring CF to be alot more ecumenical
and open to broad doctrines and those who bring them
in.
Anyone in the fundamentalist/reformed/conservative camps
(that would include the denoms that include the fundamental/
conservative doctrines) don't welcome what they want
as far as I'm concerned, becuz we view it as compromise.
We also divide from those who bring such gospels too.
So... we're the ones that don't fit in now and I think that's
going to be the working trend going forward.

I'm not leaving. No "unsubscribing" here. This forum is a safe haven and a "cake walk" compared to the theology forums. What's not to like?

How are things in Texas?

You guys can't get in trouble with me...what the sheol?

I'm the trouble maker calvinist.


That's funny, issues that I thought about all the time came out the Reformed SoF. People who although adhere to the doctrines of grace to one level or another but aren't necessary reformed were commenting on the guidelines.
