Have Forum Suggestions?

Hi all,
I'd like to open up some more forum subjects that would be of interest to members. They could be any subjects that people struggle with where scripture might be some guidance, well... I guess that's pretty much everything!

So, if you have ideas of subjects or debate topics let me know.

Thanks!

I think if you review to topics posted (for example lots of posts to Genesis, Matthew and Revelation) Creation and End Times get a lot of play. I am not a great fan of debate forums, because it seems people are willing to say anything in order to "win" the debate.
The movie War Games had a great line, which I think applies to debate forums: The only winning move is not to play the game.

Hi Admin

I think a Forum devoted to 'End Times' would be a good idea. However like Van I think there would have to be clear guidelines i.e. people would have to be made aware that 1. It is a 'non-essential' doctrine (The 'order of events' that is not the belief in the fact that the Lord will return!)2. That there are as many views as there are Christians.

The emphasis being the correct interpretaion of scripture.

I also think it would be good as the unbiblical 'left-behind' series has given a lot of unhelpful views (IMHO).

Hi,
I think it would be fun to have a forum like
a "Christain Fellowship Forum" Where Christian people could talk with each other.
We could share many of our stories, collected
thru our Christian Walk!
I just believe it would a good way to get to know each other better!

God Bless,
Nobby

Yes I guess your right!
But it seems that we're more into our own beliefs, whith is not wrong! We need to stand up for what we believe, and what the Word of God has for us! But thru our different interpretations we will never agree!

Wouldn't it be nice to talk together without contradiction of each other all the time.
Why does everything we say have to end up in an argument! Can't we as Christion people talk to each other on a forum and overlook our disagreements?
I just thought a forum where we could tell personal stories of our Christain walk, or stories of our lifetime growing up. As long as they are kept clean,in love & fun. Without being jumped on by someone who didn't agree with something you said, just because they don't believe the way you do!
Just a thought.

Cyber How was your trip in the desert??

Hi Nobby,
I think a forum like that would quickly degenerate into debate. I've tried that on some other boards and it didn't work.

Yes, you're free to e-mail me any questions you have.
