question about other forums

Amanah · #1 09-13-2011, 01:45 AM

Can anyone recommend an Apostolic Forum that is based more on discussions and bible studies versus debates? I want to chat and discuss, and be friends. I enjoy this forum, but I'm not sure I really have the personality for debating people.

So, if you know of a forum that more fits the bill of a social outlet then a place to debate, please link it for me.

Thank you

You'll have to join a forum where everyone agrees

Well my forum is still open and awaiting posters. I have basically just been using it as a place to store my teachings.

Dear Amanah

I have been reading your posts, and then I suddenly realized that if everyone had to had a forum where everyone agrees and gets along, then we would eventually have billions of forums with just one person talking to himself or herself.

It is the willingness and openes to allow other viewpoints that makes for an active faith. one that is engaged in discussions and debates. that seeks clarification.

I like this forum for even though it is mainly populated by Acts 2:38 believers (Yes I am one too), we do not all agree with each other postion regarding everything.
there are discussions and debates that sometimes verge on anarchy, but this controlled chaos and mayham serves to make us stronger in what we believe.

Besides we have a good group of brethren here that know how to behave (Mostly) and show respect even when in disagreement over certain theological points.

I wish everyone here would believe the same doctrines that I believe but I am sure that is never going to happen. Yet I keep coming and posting because I believe that my viewpoint regarding certain doctrines should be considered as a valid alternative.

Of course people who oppose my doctirnes will come out and say whatever they want to say, but I take those attacks as part of the process of contending for the faith.

well I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Good Luck, even though I don't like to use that term. I have been on a lot of them and also reviewed several. In the pentecostal reams everyone is always pushing their beliefs and with argument. That's the way it has been for as long as I can remember. That old, I'm right and your probably wrong. In reality the truth of the matter is this, we all are incorrect in something we have been taught or believe.
Then you have rebels who are self appointed in the things they believe, and most of the time in their minds, they are right and everyone else is wrong. Most of that is due to the fact that most of them don't attend certain church on a regular basis, they are not involved in any christian work with other to the benefit of mankind, and a lot of them are just out there and don't attend church at all. You will also find people who have been rebuked by someone in authority and as a result they have left a church and become indifferent and now they have their own opinion on the bible and God.
Yes Amanah, they are out there every where. Just always remember one thing in all of it! Jesus is not the author of confusion but the giver of love, peace and a sound mind.

The good thing about AFF is that you won't be censored, generally. Many other forums will censor you. So, what I do is engage in a debate if that is what I want to do, read some debates without participating and ignore everything else that annoys me. Works for me.
