• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'm not sure what to suggest but I'm not happy with the label "REAL Christians" because there are many Christians who believe Christians of a different denomination are not "real Christians" (eg some Protestants believe Catholics don't fit that description and vice versa). In fact I was once told on another "Christian" site that I was not a "real Christian" because I attend a Catholic church and it really hurt me and still does to this day.:sigh: :( :cry: :mad:

We welcome all people from all denominations? What's up with the political correctness in this website? Lets face it some people, infact many people in this website aren't real christians. It goes far beyond denominatinal differences.

It just leaves open the loophole for other to contend that others that are welcomed here should no longer be welcomed here because according to them they are not TRUE Christians that is all

I think that is why we are stating the Nicene creed and Apostles' Creed are needed here

Chococat don't worry after a while it gets that it won't even bother you that some deranged extremist calls you.:hug:

One of us needs to face facts and that's you that the people that are complaining it's not about being PC IT'S ABOUT NOT TURNING CC INTO A GIANT FLAME WAR WITH EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM.
I realize that would be fine for you since you have another congregation board to go back to but for some of us this it.

I fail to see how this is going to turn into a giant flame war since they cannot even post here. There is also many complaining about PC look at the two other discussing CF's postmodern stance.

Given the current state of the CF and it's enforcement of what few rules there are I can't see how it wouldn't cause a flame war.

How would they flame here? We have our own mods? Liberals must adhere to this forums restrictions.

Without reading any comments, I voted no. Am not in any position to say who is and isn't a "real Christian". Conservative Christian does the trick :)
You really should read the thread...trust me. It think I did a bad job phrasing the poll.

We can solve the problem with good mods. Why the fear?

I'm not afraid I just want all of us to have to deal with a mess just so that you can feel that you proved your super conservative. Besides what would that statemnt accomplish anyways right now you can basicialy call yourself what ever you want anywhere on the board. And if your really want to help cutting down liberal abuse the wiki is place to work on that not some graphic on our page that will annoy everyone nonconservative on the CF.

I see you are making this a personal issue. I feel sad brother that you have choosen to attack me rather than deal with the issue. I will say that I created this poll to send a statement that conservatives will not stand for this abuse by CF and welcome others who are fed up with the manipulation. That Christian principles will not be diluted for popularity, but will stand strong in Christ.

You can believe what you want but I'm trying to make this personal.
So you belief this the best way to try and stop conservative abuse is to provoke the very people you claim are abusing us more, needlessly I might add since your goals can be accomplished through creating our subforum rules.
