Could you, perhaps, outline the difference(s) between this and the old "Questions by non-Christians" forum?

 

[Minty]

I can post the Forum Specific Guidelines...I hope these help?

Exploring Christianity Forum
This is a forum where non-Christians are encouraged to ask questions about those aspects of the Christian faith which seem hard to understand or accept, and where Christians can enter into discussion with them on these questions.

We recognize that real seekers are looking for real answers, and the first reply given may be insufficient to achieve this. It is acceptable for the Original Poster (OP) to probe the answers given, and to continue the discussion on lines which help to clarify their understanding of the Christian faith. If another non-Christian seeker wishes to ask questions about the Christian faith, they may start their own thread. No more than one non-Christian (the OP) may post in a thread.

All Original Posts (OPs) -- the posts that start a new thread -- must contain an identifiable question about the Christian faith. Questions and statements that are direct flames or that imply a flame against Christianity, Christians, or any other group are inappropriate to this site, and will be removed.

The following guidelines apply, in addition to, or as clarification of, Christian Forums rules.

Blasphemy
The site-wide rules prohibit all blasphemy on this site. To clarify, members will not speak in a disrespectful way of the Christian God. Expressing disbelief in God is acceptable, as is questioning Christian beliefs, but this should be done in a polite, respectful manner.

Statement of Faith
All replies in this forum must be in accordance with the CF Statement of Faith (SoF). This means that your replies cannot disagree with the SOF. As an example, you may not answer a seeker’s question with a statement that God is not a Trinity, nor may you state that Jesus was merely a very good, human leader. All replies must help the questioner to understand Christian beliefs and practices, and the theology on which they are based.

Flaming
The site-wide rules prohibit flaming on this site. In this forum, all respectful discussion of the questions presented by Christianity is welcome. However, you may not attack the character, intelligence, or reputation of other members. This is considered flaming. You may not express or post hatred against another person or group, or refer to other posters or groups by derogatory or insulting names. This applies to all members, whatever their beliefs. In general, you may discuss the topic at hand, but not the poster or the people who hold to different beliefs/opinions.

Debate
This forum is for discussion of questions with non-Christians. There are some areas of theology in which different Christians may believe differently.
In these cases, we would ask Christians to refrain from debating the matter here. You may point out that there is a differing viewpoint, but please do not use this forum to debate with other Christians. If Christians wish to discuss various doctrines with other Christians, they should do so in the Theology forums.

My help comes from the Lord,

Thank you Angel for this forum and the expliantion. As new member, and sort of new Christian, I look forward to reading how to respond to non-believers questions.

 

[Minty]

You're all very welcome

Here's hoping that we can explain the wonder and glory of the many different facets of our Christian faith to all those that wish to understand.

May the LORD richly bless this new forum and all those that come seeking His knowledge and wisdom through us

Welcome to the shiny new forum

Hey.....how comes it ain't shiny?!

 

[Minty]

Hey.....how comes it ain't shiny?!

I forgot to dust it this morning

Sorry, LLOJ

 

[AV1611VET]

Hey.....how comes it ain't shiny?!

Clean your screen, Lamb!

 

[seashale76]

Well, this forum certainly makes more sense. Too many people weren't able to adhere to the rules in the old one.

 

[CaDan]

That's not dust.

 

[Minty]

That's not dust.

I'm not touching it then

 

[ebia]

Well, isn't this exciting?

Way cool.

 

[Radagast]

Please, brothers and sisters, lets all keep it friendly.

 

[drstevej]

You're kidding, right?

Many different facets?

Only the different facets of AMERICAN and ORTHODOX Christianity may be explained! Any other facets are taboo!

Gimme a break!

American ? Huh?
