Rule 4.2 revision

[Erwin]

There's a difference between homosexuality and homosexual sex. The latter is quite clearly prohibited by scripture. The former isn't.

David.

This is not the place to discuss this.

Man the barn door is opening wide if you really plan to be consistent with your statement here.

Knock! And the door shall be opened . . . .

Why take a stance on the nicene Creed then?

Why the How to become a christian link at the bottom?

Man the barn door is opening wide if you really plan to be consistent with your statement here.

I'm concerned by the way you extrapolate the fact that CF being a website (which is a neutral entity - a website is not a person) automatically means that there is no need to enforce a definition of what it means to be Christian from a doctrinal point of view or that it automatically means that this website does not have an objective of preaching the gospel.

In any case, this thread has kept me up until 2:23 am and I'm to be at a church camp from tomorrow for the weekend.

Good luck and good night. Or shall I say, good morning.

I responded to drstevej in a private forum, but I will repost my response here in public for the record:

Trust me when I tell you that my personal stance on these topics are very clear and strong, and cannot be compromised. I am an elder of a church. I know where I stand.

However, CF as a website cannot reflect my beliefs as I am not here to impose them on everyone else. I am not out to make Christians in my image. This is why CF is neutral - not that it supports these topics, but it also does not oppose them. It is up to its members to make those decisions.

This does not mean that CF cannot have a definition of what is a Christian, nor does it mean that CF cannot have a link explaining the good news.
