Hello, semi-new guy here..

[Andrew12]

I'm not new to CF, but I am looking for a new subforum to call home. You guys seem to believe along the same lines as I do, and the posts seem interesting. If you have questions for me, ask. I would like to get to know you guys as well.

Hello Andrew.

What subforum did you used to post in, and why don't you post there anymore?

 

[phydaux]

Singles subforum. The answer is the single subforum.

 

[Andrew12]

Yeah. Singles isn't as cool as it used to be. I'd like a subforum with some more intelligent conversations.

Anything wrong with the Baptist forum or the General Theology forum? That's what most folks do--post on the forum of their own denomination plus a couple of additional interdenominational forums such as GT.

I honestly based my decision on the threads. And i didn't even check the baptist forum. lol

I post in subforums depending on what I want ot talk about. I consider myself a fundamentalist, so I often post in the fundamentalist subforum. Although, to be honesty, some of those guys are wackjobs.

Sometimes just checking the latest posts to see what is sparking conversation.
Some good threads on several.

Certainly Andrew is welcome to post here. But there's limited traffic on this forum, so it would seem that he'd be missing out by thinking of this as his "home" forum or anything like that.

 

[Andrew12]

Any suggestions for similar forums with more traffic?

[phydaux]

If I find one, I'll let you know.

One of the disadvantages of having so many sub-forums is that, individually, they dont't get a lot of traffic.

To me that is the greatest weakness of forums. They divide an already splintered group of Christians.
Finding fellowship is hard enough without searching dozens of church groups. That is why the non dom churches today are so large . Most folks look more for the message than the name on the place they hear it.

Exactly!

Personally I don't even see the dif between fundimental and conservative. Christians are just that.
We come in all stripes and flavors. Probably most go to a church without knowing what the main teaching of that preacher holds. And why should we? If it is a house of worship, then we worship God and HisSon Jesus, not the preacher/teacher.
Thru the years it has become a scrambled mess. Most go one hour a week, sit quietly under some
man's personal teaching.
Because everyone has to workout their own salvation, where do we ask our questions except these fourms?

Oh, but just think of all the endless arguing.

Mary/no Mary
Pre-trib/post-trib/no trib

At least with all the sub-forums you have the luxury of being wrong without being a heretic.
