• 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 appears that in the matter of Adventist orientation one can be Traditional, Progressive or Bi-Adventist. The Bi-Adventist have the best standing as they can post in both sub-forums and in the Main Forum. The jury is still out as to whether one is born Traditional, Progressive or Bi-Adventist. Some think that it is only possible to be born Traditional and that some traumatic experience may cause one to experiment with Progressivism. As of this moment no one knows whether any program exists that can heal one of Progressivism. Research into this area is continuing.

is it inherited or nurtured via the environment? Has a person ever been born progressive and swung to the traditional side?

Is there a bible text to prove being a Progressive is an abomination? Were any cities destroyed in the bible for their progressive tendencies?

Are you suggesting that Progressives are more likely to swing than Traditionals?
I am thinking that Progressives are more willing to admit that they are swinging the other way while Traditionals may swing, but it will be behind closed doors, where no one will know, or they hope no one will know....
