It's a negative personal statement; even if you didn't mean it to be insulting, I think it's difficult to make that sort of statement appear otherwise.

First, "cold-hearted" is in no way an insult.
I want him, and you, to get to know Jesus because He's beautiful. But that doesn't mean sitting back while people accuse Christians of being bad witnesses simply because they quote scriptures. It just doesn't work that way.
And, yes, non-believers should not be in a leadership role within a Christian environment. Not because you're not "as good", but because we are so very different.
But here's a question: given you've just called yourself a Christian, what kind of witness have you just been?
Aren't you doing exactly what you accused me of? How do you know what my beliefs are, or how I came to be where I am?
Well, give me an example...
Why do you feel angry? Because you disagree with me?
Again, you're accusing me of dishonesty, despite not knowing me, simply because you disagree with me.
I can only assume you've been mistreated *appallingly* to be this angry at people you don't even know
First, "cold-hearted" is in no way an insult.
Secondly, you're being incredibly mean, and you don't know me. Are you willing to look at your own behaviour, or is it easier to attack others for theirs based on your perception?
can someone please remind me how THIS drama is an improvement???????
i guess if you say so...all i felt was alot of hostility and bitternessWell, here's one way - there's actually a chance at reconciliation, if they're allowed to talk to one another and express their opinions. It's up to them, but that sort of thing seems to happen more in open areas than restricted ones.
i guess if you say so...all i felt was alot of hostility and bitterness
im all for us getting along, so how ever that needs to happenWell, it doesn't tend to be instantaneous. Just opens up the possibility. Maybe in the future, GreenMunchkin will think back and realize that using cold-hearted in such a way is going to get people upset rather than furthering the conversation. Maybe StrawberryCough will consider that his/her own insults don't help resolve matters, either.
Or, y'know, maybe not. But if people can't say what's upsetting them, it's hard to work things out.
That's what you believe, and you have the right to have your beliefs. But CF is uniting all Christians as one body, and this includes Christians who don't believe that homosexuality is a sin, and Christians who actually live in homosexual relationships. Different Christians understand the Bible in different ways, some would agree with you and some wouldn't... and CF tries to unite them all.I agree with you 100%... you cannot, however, disregard the absolute truth of Scripture. In the Word of God homosexuality is an abomination. To allow a homosexual couple to add wedding rings to their profile is an abomonation to God!
Actually, right now the faith icons are a way to say "This member self identifies as a....". So that when you're talking to a person, you know what's the religion they identify with.Throws the Word right into the face of God. To say "if you say you're a christian, you're a christian, who are we to judge" slaps the teachings of Jesus right back in His face!!!
I have a genuine question.
Given this is now a democracy, if the majority were to want the forum's name be changed, will it happen?
Umm, what distinguishes this site as a CHRISTIAN site now? I almost recommend changing the name. If anyone can call themselves christian, there is no criteria to post in certain forums, what is the point in calling this a christian forum? Marketing? Name brand recognition? This isn't what I signed up for.
Whatever the members of each forum decide it to be. Heaven is now a democracy. I'n't it grand?
Thanks for the unsolicited advice chief. You have a card in case I need to call you if I can't figure out what color shoes to wear after Thanksgiving?Oh my, you are a dramatic one aren't you?
I must have missed where heaven was a message board, unless you can provide such would you mind apologizing to erwin for being such a stick in the mud.
Seriously, if you find this forum lacking now because (horrors of horrors) non-christians will be allowed to actually respond to your posts in what was once a all christian forum, perhaps moving on to other more green pastures is what you need to do.
so can you!
