• 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.

It seems to me that this forum, since switching the name back, has become rather segregated. Why is it that I ( not a Christian) cannot discuss Christian beliefs and their reactions to situations. I mean why is there a Christian apologetics section to defend the religion without anyone to debate it?

Maybe I'm just upset since I liked posting in those areas and am no longer allowed to.

I don't know what to tell ya. I've been reported just for pointing out misinformation about things not even related to the bible or Christan doctrine in the Congregational area. I guess it's only legitimate to do that if your an actual member of denomination or something. I don't know why. But some people are definitely looking for "fellowship only" even while making statements not everyone is going to agree with.

Corey,
As a non-Christian what have you learned of the nature of Christ? What is the feeling you get from your visits here? Do you feel included or excluded?

Though I usually feel like an outsider, I am certainly included. Unfortunately, it has become very clear that I am not welcome to post where I please even though I have no intentions of insulting anyone and I only wish to add something to the conversation.

I was highly disappointed and I realized how petty people were.

It just proves that Christian's nowadays have such fragile faiths that unless someone is babying them the entire time they're prosecuting them? The name of this site means nothing and does nothing but turn non-Christians away!

It's sad. Christianity has lost the love. Now it's all about hopeless elitism.
