I have been on this forum not very long but I just cannot tollerate it because of the non-christian things on here. No I am not refering to hot theological discussion and debate and arguments concerning the Bible. I love those and defending my Reformed Convictions but so many non-christians using the name have of Christians are ever present that I simply will not waste my time.
The room which claims to be Christian never defines what a Christian is nor has a clear enforced Doctrinal Statement about who Jesus is and What he has done. I am not one of those who thinks only Reformed churches are true churches and only Calvinists will be in Heaven, but when it comes to the rejection of the Trinity and promoting arianism or other ancient heresies I simply cannot tollerate it. I hope noone here gives money to the server.
What would I like? I being traditional prefer to use the ancient creeds (Apostles, Nicene- any version or all of them, and the Athenasian creed) as the standard but if someone wants to write an abridged ''statement of faith'' I would be content.
If you want to make a different general religon forum that is fine but by claiming to be Christian there is a historic heritage there that defines the term. As it stands a mormon, pelegian, arian, jehovah's witness, reformed, catholic, orthodox, unitarian, various cults, etc... could all post- This is simply not acceptable to me.
I hope the posts I made were useful and provoked some thought and that I was able to be of small encouragement to others. I post this not because I want to divide or cause distress but hopefully encourage everyone to e-mail the site to encourage them to have a clear enforceable Statement of faith, creed or confession and ACTUALLY ENCORCE IT. This is for the spiritual good of all persons who are guillable.
