Sooooo some of my quotes are in response to the individuals may have been done wrong since I'm new to posting and all... should have taken a quick course
before I started posting, pay attention all Christians! I'm going somewhere with this. I could not help but notice how quick a couple of you jumped the "proverbial gun" to my replies.
So what I hope that I'm not seeing here, is that no matter whether we have an exclusive "Christian" forum or not; there are still going to be Christians at other Christians throats. Say it isn't so !! This was the problem with the Pharisees and Sadducees and ....... Could this be why many atheists and many others don't see Christ in our Posts and continue go back and forth with you??(I would like a solid response to this you know...as if Christ were right there responding himself ) Anyone can argue that has read the Bible or have had training in debates. If the world doesn't see the LOVE of Christ Jesus in our response to one another then what good is it??? To those "christians" who picked my words apart" in my reply/quotes seem like you just want to be popular, we are supposed to be on the same team aren't we ?? Enlighten me in case I don't understand the difference between "salt and light".... but are we trying to win
here??? as in competing with the world? Or do we really want a forum where we can just love on one another (spiritually that is!!) and preach to the choir and be right and self righteous and exploit one another, Or share paganistic views that are opposite of the Truth according to the word of God, This is mockery before God and we're expected to repent for trying to be the next "Forum Idol". Hopefully I will be posting "savvy" when the New Forum is opened and won't make as many mistakes in my replies as far as the correct times and quotes and all. But thank the Lord for Romans 8 that says there is "no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus"...
So my prayer is that we will go to the New Forum with the minds of Christ, with a forgiving heart not puffed up with knowledge and Pride. Hope to see all of the exciting things there. Jazzedforhim I like your post not being partial to any others, Let's remember to humble ourselves that even a non-believer will want to know the Saviour that we worship...
We all do worship Him don't we? in Spirit and Truth ??...Selah........
Amen to that brother? Err....or sister!

There will still be debates but the baiscs of the faith will be a given. That is how I see this sub-forum to be a great addition.
Jazzedforhim:
Did anyone ever mention to you or point to the scriptures that we're supposed to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the true knowledge of God.,and bring every though into captivity to the obedience of Christ" ? Well what you're doing here is against what Christ told us to do, What do mean by Does God Exist? and Evolution vs. Creationism and all the other abominable things that suggest Non-Belief in Christ and the Holy Spirit inspired Word of God. If this new forum is a Christian one, nobody has any business asking a question like that, or debating. Let's not compromise here for popularity or "go along to get along" . Repent and cut it out or just continue on the old site where many Atheist and such will gladly reply. Come on Now!! are you sold out for Jesus our Saviour or not?? Just asking.. Or did I misread the reply?? Help me understand without getting offended please, since we're on the same team???

Umm...you misunderstood my post. What I was saying is that we argue those things now in the religion forum but would not have to do so in a Chrisitan sub-forum.

You know we did!

I have faith that we shall get our sub-forum.

OF course, I'm just giddy as a child in a candy store at the moment, and am happy about everything. It rained, Yes, it rained a bit today and we are 20 degrees cooler at the moment than we have been at this time in a loonngg time..

So, now, I am as excited as Jazz was earlier.

Any true Believer in Christ Jesus Our Lord will know that they are not "unworthy".. But worthy by the Blood of The Cross!!!
In our prayers
May God Bless You
OTAY! Sermon UP! You go, girlfriend.

LOL. I wasn't debating my faith or anyone as being unworthy.

By unworthy, I was referring to those who would be deemed "unworthy" to join in the Christians Only forum.

A better analogy would be if anyone happened upon a bible study and before they could sit with the group, one of the group stands up and says, Whoa, buddy, you are not allowed here. Only christians. Don't let the doorknob hit you where the good lord split you. (finger snap!)

But, I am no longer "against" having a christians only forum. Au contraire. I just have the strange notion that all are welcome to partake of the bread.

Sarcasm aside, I also learn a LOT and find a few inspiring posts by our christian brothers and sisters. I also know first hand that some folks apply the label without having the proper spirit. So, by all means NAIL that sign on the forum to be: CHRISTIANS ONLY! Flamers, Keep Walking! We be goin to CHURCH!

Peace be unto you also. Sounds like you are already tuning up for it.

There might be some money to be made, maybe even for a good cause, by making bets about how many posts would be made before the True Christians started arguing with The Other Christians about the One and Only Way.

But that is growing arguing not arguing over if God exists in the first place.
