Lutheran Forum Official Rules

So, does that mean we cannot quote the BOC?

You trying to get me fired up Filo?

Not much of a Lutheran sub-forum without the confessions.

Want to have a contest and see who can get banned first?

I'll let you win.

I'm sure we're both punny people.

Wow. Look at this thread drift...

I move that this be sent to Erwin and AA for consideration.

Any further discussion?

I like draft 2 because it allows other "Christians" to come in post and even debate, yet official Lutheran Doctrine is supreme

One quick question regarding #5.

One may take this to mean that we should not say the Mormons, JW's, etc. are not Christian. They certianly are not, and I will say so if the question arises, in whatever form.

Since these are not recognized by CF as Christian, is this a non-issue, or should we address this by amending #5?

Proposed Change:
5) No posts that denigrate a Christian denomination or Christian group (as recognized by the rules governing CF) will be tolerated - these will be deleted and the poster will be warned.

One other question, in every instance in #3, does "Synod/Denomination" refer exclusively to "Lutheran Synod/Denomination", as the first sentense seems to indicate? Should the verbage reflect that, to eliminate confusion from such shallow minds as my own?

Other than that I like it.

I agree with this. (and the 2nd draft)

Proposed Rules- Theologia Crucis (Draft III)

The rules particular to this forum follow:

1) This forum is open to all Christians. Non-Christian members are not allowed to post here.

2) Non-Lutherans are reminded, that while their input is welcome and they are permitted to debate, they are not to denigrate, or be dis-respectful towards Lutheran doctrine. The guiding principle is this- "Don’t make a mess in another’s home"

3) Discussions between various Lutheran Synods/Denominations is allowed. However, no attempt to present another Lutheran Synod/Denomination as non-Christian will be allowed. Respect and civility shall rule all discussions of differences of practice or belief between Lutheran Synods/Denominations

4) Only Lutheran Moderators, or other moderators that shall be from time-to-time properly assigned to this forum shall moderate posts in this forum.

5) No posts that denigrate a Christian denomination or Christian group (As recognized by rule #6 governing all of CF) will be tolerated - these will be deleted and the poster will be warned.

Basically, we do NOT allow accusations that a particular Christian denomination or group is non-Christian. That is the bottom line. Debates regarding doctrine is allowed. Accusations are not. Try to rephrase your question and post so that it does not come across as being judgmental and accusatory. You will find that the message gets across better, and the debate will remain civil.

Okay, the offical Lutheran forum rules have been posted.

Post here if any changes need to be made to it and I will change it. I did the best I could at the moment.
