I do agree with most of what you say.Alternate Carpark said:Having the ideal that the IDD would be a celebration of unity was a big ask don't you think ?
It is assuming that each denom worships the one true God, so of course we will get along fine because we are all filled with grace and love toward each other.
So it didn't turn out the way it was expected and these gracious loving Christians started arguing and abusing each other.
So IDD was unplugged because of what?
Embarrassment, reality didn't match the ideal ?
I reckon the IDD is a wonderful idea, because it shows the sad state of the Christianity community at the moment. And if we are confronted with it then
we are forced to acknowledge it and do something about it.
And if we think like "Oh we must show the world our unity and love and grace and IDD was not showing that so let's remove it so no one will see us like this"
Sadly, regardless of whether IDD is opened or closed, the world already knows about our hypocracy and internal fighting and hatred toward each other.
God never hides a problem and He doesn't want us to hide ours either.
The world looks at Christianity and just shakes it's head in disbelief.
I talk to so many non believers and this is what they think of Christians.
"Ignorant self righteous judgmental hypercrites" who then state that they wouldn't try Christianity if someone paid them a million $.
And the majority of Christians couldn't care less about that because they are too busy defending their version of God's plan for humanity.
God says that we shall have no other god's before Him, that we shall worship only Him and nothing else.
Sadly, the majority of Christians do not worship God but they instead worship their denom, they worship their own beliefs and this is why they angrily defend these beliefs.
But of course these Christians cannot see this, they think they are worshipping God and defending God.
There is not one version of Christianity that has it all together, yet every one is defended at the correct one. Why is this ?
Well you would have to ask everyone that because each individual has their reasons and motives as to why they believe what they believe.
Yet, hmmm God says that His Holy Spirit will lead us into ALL TRUTH.
So I reckon bring back the IDD, I mean at least it will keep the denom worshipers out of the important sections of this forum.
Then everyone is happy.
The people that worship and love God can get on with the task of showing God to the world and the people that worship and love their denom can get on with arguing and hating everyone in the other denoms.
And then hopefully the world will see the huge difference between God and man's religion and the harvest will increase.
Well...I came across CF yesterday While I was searching for another forum to interact in, and I was so impressed with the diversity of peoples and topics that I HAD to register.ej said:How do you know about IDD when you registered only yesterday?
