Hello, fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I am here today to bring all Christian Debaters under one banner. A banner for the warriors of the Lord, on one Shining City on a Hill. A comunity where we help each other in faith. A City with officials and worshipers, who help expand our knowladge to help in our cause. And our cause, as Christians, whether we know it or not, is to live as Christ like as possible and bring those who don't believe into his body.
When Jesus died on the cross, he set things that were stopped in motion, so that we may go into his heavenly Kingdom. Christians are to further that, so that others then themselves.
I come and ask that many will join, so that they may help others along in their search for Christ and to help in our spiritual warfare that we wage in debates against those who don't believe.
These debates will go further then Denominational Beliefs. We shall go to the source of disbelief and help our brothers there.
I ask this of our brothers, and I hope that others will join the cause.
I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
God's Blessings and Jesus's Love

The Creed of the Christian Comunity
In our teachings of the Gospel, we shall always remember:
What Jesus said
What Jesus meant when he preached
Who Jesus was, is, and forever will be
What Jesus did for us
Who he was when, before, and after he died
Where he went when he died
That he rose from the dead
Where Jesus is now
In our life, we shall remember:
God's comandments
That God Loves us
We shall love our enemy like our brother
God is greater then everything, as he made everything
The Ten Comandments of Moses
Who Jesus was, is, and forever will be
The consiquences of all we do
The rewards of what we do
We are all equal brothers and sisters in Christ
Even those we dislike deserve Christ
WE should help those whenever possible
We shall pray for all who ask or don't ask
Our Moto:
We shall serve Christ,
From our waking momment to the second
We fall asleep
And in our dreams,
And to spread God's word where ever we go,
As long as we preach the word
And nothing that goes against it
Verses to remember:
The Book of Ephesians, Chapter 6, Verses 11 to 17
"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

Conserning the Mark of the Church
The Mark of the Church is a mark given by the High Council that makes a debate endorsed by the Christian Comunity. This shows only that it is a good debate with good CHRISTIAN perposes, and not against Christianity. The section must be brought to the High Council by the OP, no one else.
Conserning Studies
The official weekly studies must be ploted by the Pastor or someone taking the pastors place durring his absence. The Paster must write up a study on a certain subject and present it to the comunity. The comunity is urged to read it, and is also urged to ask any questions that are relivent to the subject, but are also urged to research it on their own. The Pastor is still required to do a therow research.
Concerning Absence
If someone is absent, the gone person is required to tell some one and have a replacement for the time being. Everyone is asked to be on at least an hour every week, but if that is not possible, then that is fine, but it is still asked. The replacement will try to do the abesent persons jobs to the best of their abilitys.
Concerning the Elder Council Members
Other then the jobs listed, the Elder council shall start out with 5 original members, and then for every 3 new BASICS they will vote one of the BASICS into the Elder Council. If the BASIC doesn't want to be a Council Member, then they will vote again, leaving that person out of the votes.
Concerning Prayer
The Prayer Section of CF is asked to be viewed and taken seriously often by everyone in the Christian Comunity.
God's Blessings and Jesus's Love
