• 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.

Good question. I really see no reason for the separation. It is as though Adventists are political parties or something. I find myself jumping between both forums to read topics. It's not really a good witness. We should grow together. But I don't come on here much. I did end up finding a normal Adventist forum.

it is fairly simple, the disagree over doctrine. name ellen white, & the nature of Christ.
Historic SDA's believe all of SDAism, Ellen white, the IJ, LGT, fallen nature of Christ. pre 1888 teachings of adventism, sinless perfectionsm 1844
Conservative : post 1888 teaching. they are more flexable on LGT
Evanglicals: post 1958 adventims, Desmond Ford view of daniel 8:14, Grace orientation, de emphisis on EGW, need to be born again.
Progressives": disagree with 1 or more of the 28 fundimentals beliefs

The founders were all, "Progressive". The, "Traditional" today reject any new light. The SDA leaders today have lost their compass on the abortion issue!

We don't need to, "Grow together", we need to grow to Christ!

What is meant by the "fallen nature of Christ"? Evanglicals: post 1958 adventims?
