Given the current state of the theology forum it has become necessarry to fundamentally change the rules here at CGR.

1) Participation in the theology forum is to be limited to those who can uphold the Apostles and Nicene Creeds.

2) Participation in the theology forum is also to be done in a spirit of humility. We come from all walks of life here. We have people who are in Bible College, Seminary, High School, and Junior High. As such our places in life will color our perspectives. However, humility is a key issue for the seminarian or pastor as well as the junior high school student.

3) Posts which are Ad-hominem attacks will result in a warning. Excessive warnings will lead to banning.

4) In all things we must seek to build each other up. Theology is not about a contest of logic. In fact Christ declared it quite the opposite when he said he picked the foolish things to confound the wise and calls the gospel foolishness to the Greek. If you seek debate and conquest, please leave now. There are plenty of places on the web where you can go.

This has been a change which has been thoroughly discussed by the administration and is not a spur of the moment decision.
