Should Sinners be Allowed to Post in the CO Section of the Forums

[StAnselm]

Are more interesting question might be, are people who think that they're sinless welcome to post here?

Should sinners be allowed to post in the CO section of CF?

Why or why not.

Are there specific types of sin that people engage in that should not be allowed to post?

I think you need to re-phrase your question for the poll. It should read: Should Pagans be allowed to post in the Christian Only Section of CF.?"

I, even though I have Christ, Still Sin. We are all sinners regardless of the fact that Christ as accepted us as his Brothers and sisters and Co-heirs in the Kingdom.

No you have to read the entire thread. I was specifically addressing Christians.

In spite of my faith, I'm still a sinner. In the morning,I pray for guidence, and for forgiveness at night. As far as sin goes. I believe people are changed from the inside out. Not the outside in. Let them post.

Then none of us could post.

I read your entire thread and you seem to indicate that Christians are not sinners, which I reject completely. We are all sinners so that means we should not be posting here based on the premise of your opening post.

The Nicene Creed is a statement of faith and you are going to find differences in the Orthodox faiths regarding a certain clause called the "Filioque" which I won't get into here as it has been discussed several times..

I wonder who the two were that said no

They are the sinless ones. There's not going to be much activity here when the rest of us sinners are banned.

What do you intend to do in regard to the verse that says that it is a shame to even speak of those things that are done by them in secret?? Hmmm?? Do you intend to ignore God's exhortation here concerning common decency? The Bible says that love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth, and the apostle Paul said "whatsoever is true, whatsoever is PURE...think on these things.

SO ON WHICH SIDE OF THIS ISSUE ARE YOU??

I think the OP is referring to whether Christians who live in sin should be allowed to post here.

All of us sin, that is a fact. But as Christians who have been regenerated by Christ, we do not live in sin. That is, we are not full time fornicators, thieves, murderers, etc. Yes, we may have DONE any of these while we were Christian, but we confess that we have sinned and we repent from it, do we not? One who continues to do these things unrepentantly and does not see what is wrong with it, is not regenerated, and is not Christian, and therefore should NOT post here. However, someone who, say, is struggling with porn addiction, or thieving, or whatever, but is seeking repentance and realises their sin, they are regenerating and are saved, and Christian, and CAN post. And we ALL struggle with sin in our every day life. But we do not live in that sin, as to do so we would be liars by saying we know Christ by rejecting His commandments.

God Bless
