Welcome to Christian Forums, a Christian Forum that recognizes that all Christians are a work in progress.
You will need to register to be able to join in fellowship with Christians all over the world.
We hope to see you as a part of our community soon and God Bless!
People are people where ever we go, lol. Although I think some sites might be better moderated by not allowing personal attacks? I have not been on many at all to really know much about them :)

Well, Carm does not allow personal attacks, rule 12/22:) Some slip by i'm sure but the mods take pretty good care of the boards. People for many reasons are suspended/banned every day.
For Christian Forums, it always seemed to be a place I went to when I felt lost in something and needed that extra fellowship and support from other believers. But when I was invited here, I felt pretty dumb compared to everyone else using Greek and everything. So it has become more of a challenge for me then anything I think that has a smaller amount of people then a huge forum. It is easier to understand people and their views that way. I found that close community of fellowship and support with unique views also Ive never heard before. It is good to know what to say when I hear it...or give me a fresh perspective of God's Word. I am so grateful for that. I am grateful, because I know on here when I ask for prayer, people pray. And I have gotten back to the gifts of the Spirit and remember how important they are in my life.
It is also a good spiritual/intellectual getaway as a stay at home mom of an 18 month old. It keeps me sane, even though sometimes I find myself googling how to prep for a thermonuclear war and realize digging a grave is the best option to be with Jesus.

I'm glad you found a place youre comfortable being in. Its nice to know people pray for you when you ask. And its also nice to know you can dialogue without feeling out of place. True believers, hopefully are here to glorify God with their speech. Either presenting the gospel or defending it. We all should be gospel people. A false gospel saved exactly 0 people. While we are here we need to be promoting a full strength, undiluted gospel. Let God do the rest:) God bless.
Praise God for that!!!! I pray I will be that light and example to others on here, and to show the love of God through my words. I might not be a Theologian, but I love Jesus Christ, and I have much to learn.
And welcome!!!!

I belong to fair amount of metal music forums, which can be rather caustic at times. I figured I would try out a Christian forum to bond (electronically, at least) with other Christians, and to gain perspectives on our faith from fellow Christians.
I was checking out some of the articles on abortion there and the statement of faith. Carm looks like a great site. Thanks for mentioning it. A lot of good articles. I am trying to figure out where the discussion boards are. :)

Hello! I'm also new here, but not new to Christian/Apologetics forums - and another CARM refugee ;)
I've been saved for almost 50 years and ever since the day I accepted Christ I've had a huge burden for the lost. Seeing so much deception, blindness, and lies of the enemy my heart breaks so I want to "contend earnestly for the faith" as Jude says.
I'm here because I enjoy chatting with other folks whom love God. Fellowship and learning about other people's views are big things for me.
I've been/am on many other forums. This one is alright, hence my frequent visits. Others are... best avoided.

Tell your owner you should also have a pre-recorded message line so people can get enticing information 24 hours. A website can also do the same job of screening for the perfect customer and providing them with pre-sales "warming" information.
We have those too. At the end of the day, well, I have one customer who actually told me this a couple of months ago, that they had started giving me all their work since I actually answer the phone. That seems to be the general sentiment. As printing is a 'sunset industry', not so much new blood coming in, so we are all fairly old school.
Much love!

Hopefully you are still around sometime to read this, my friend. We bumped heads here some but you were always kind in your treatment of me and others, even in the disagreements. We really would like to see you back if ever it is a possibility!
Give God the glory!
No one recognizes me anymore as an interviewer, but I remember when I first moved from a non-public Social Security office to a very public field office. I worked long hard hours in those days and met lots of people. They found my name and number in the phone book [no Internet in those days and no call ID on the phone] and would call me at home in the evenings and on my days off to ask Social Security questions. I had to get an unlisted phone number and my wife began to answer all phone calls. It was the only way I could get some rest and peace and privacy...
