The door to JimmyP's Fellowship Thread is left slightly ajar. "Now, what shall we do today? Have a picnic by the beach?" Agnetha ponders. "I dont know" MissRowy says. "If so, how many people are invited to the picnic?" JamesIsBack asks. Jess90 walks in and stops. "Everyone I presume" Agnetha says and sees Jess90. She looks at the group. "I heard someone mentioning a picnic. I felt like asking, am I invited?" Jess90 wonders out loud. "Of course you are. Welcome to JimmyP's Fellowship Thread. Whats your name?" Agnetha asks. "My name is Jess90. Is this where I am?" Jess90 says. "Yes, thats where you are. All are nice people. My names Agnetha" Agnetha says.

"Thanks Agnetha for that compliment" JamesIsBack replies. "Your welcome JamesIsBack" Agnetha says. "So for this picnic do I need to bring anything if we have it?" MissRowy asks. "Anything you want to bring MissRowy is suitable. I will bring along the food and drink. Well, if anyone wants to bring their special dish, they can share it" Agnetha answers. "I know what I will bring? Garlic bulbs roasted with olive oil and basil cooked by Dawny" JimmyP says. "Good idea with the picnic" Bill replies. "You can also invite Dawny to it?" Agnetha says.

"I can? I shall ask her then" JimmyP replies and winks. Agnetha sees it and gets it. "Is anyone welcome to join?" Jess90 asks. "Of course everyones welcome and anyones invited if they get along with all of us though Im sure there are few who will not get along with us" Agnetha says. "Even my husband?" Jess90 asks. "Of course. Hes invited as well with you Jess90. And I will bring along my boyfriends chocolate desert he can whip up" Agnetha replies. Tins pokes her head out of a good book. "Did someone mention chocolate?" Tins says.

I have another question concerning the fact that atheists/non-believers being on this forum. It was told to me early that they are welcomed because maybe they would read something on here that would change their hearts. That would be wonderful if that would happen, but I feel a few messages on a forum is not going to totally change an atheists heart just like that. I really think the Lord has to work on someones heart like that over a period of time for them to make a change. I just don't think they could make a drastic change so quickly. My other point is that when a non-believers sees a forum titled Christian Forums their first agenda if they sign up onto the forum is to denounce Christianity and belittle the Christian believers. They are definitely not saying to themselves I am going to sign up on this forum and change from being an atheist to a Christian. I think it frustrates me the most because every thread I go onto that has a non believer involved in a discussion they are doing nothing but denouncing Christianity and The Word of God. As a Christian, especially on a Christian Forum this makes me sick. I have no idea what can be done if anything to stop them from coming here because it is their choice to do so, but it is rather frustrating seeing this as a Christian.

I wanted to respond to this. I think CF can be a good witnessing tool to anyone that is non Christian. But you can't expect those who aren't in Christ to all of the sudden say ok I'll go for that and start believing and accepting Christ's Salvation. You're going to get negative responses like that. Rome wasn't built in a day as they say. Which is why Apologetics and Witnessing is a delicate and sometimes might even be a time consuming process. Some might get it at the first glance but other it might take a while or they might not even bat an eyelash and say it's all hogwash. That's why you witness to them in a loving matter and either continue to witness to them or if they don't respond pray for God's intervention into their hearts.

I totally understand that you should witness to them in a loving manner, but when they keep coming back at you denouncing Christianity and belittling your faith you get discouraged after awhile. Sure you continue to pray to God and ask for strength to continue. My point is this if an Atheist/Non-Believer is looking around the internet and stumbles upon a forum that is called a CHRISTIAN FORUM they are not going to sign up here to be witnessed to. They are going to sign up here to do as much as they can to discourage the believers and that is definitely what I am seeing in a lot of these threads that the non believers are posting on. It becomes more of a challenge to the believer to just do the best they can to defend what they believe in. Like I said nothing can be done to stop those non believers from joining, but something should be done to stop the belittling of Christians on some of these threads and apparently that is not being done.

 

[Jess90]

I think it is time to put down my laptop and stop posting for the night and start praying for this forum. Goodnight to all and have a wonderful night. See you all tomorrow.

 

[HazelAngel]

Ok. Night Jess. See you tomorrow.

If you see a non Christian breaking any rules report them. Now even if CF decided not to allow atheists,etc like you said it won't stop them from signing up and trolling the board. And yes they will attack your position that is why you either continue to defend your faith and witness to them or stop and let God handle it.
