conservative Christian group being denied home at CF

[icedragon101]

Call to Action: I would like to ask for your support on behalf of a Displaced people group here on Christian Forums. These are believers in Christ that have no Home I am asking that the forum support the establishment of a “Sabbath keepers” forum. There are over 1500 Sabbath keeping groups in the united states alone. Yet they have no place to call home on Christian Forums. Groups like the Jehovah’s Wittiness and the Mormons are allowed to have a home, but there is no place for these believers in Christ. Despite the fact that they worship on the 7th day Sabbath as apposed to the first day of the week, They are truly Christians. The practice of Worshiping the 7th day of the week as been on Going since Apostolic times, the Roman West it was side by side on equal footing with the first day as late as the 4th Centaury and lasted until 7th centaury in India the St Thomason Christian kept the Sabbath until 19th centaury, In Africa it lasted well into the 16th centaury, It is even believed that Saint Patrick of Ireland was a 7thday Sabbath keeper. There is a Rich tradition of Sabbath keeping in Christianity. We have 2 groups of Sabbath Keepers that have official Sub-forums, The Seventh-day Adventist and the Messianic . As stated earlier there are 1500 different Sabbath keeping groups in the US alone among them are The Seventh-day Baptists, Seventh day Church of God, the Seventh Day Methodists, Seventh-day Pentecostals and the Seventh-day German Baptists. None of these groups have a Home and a general Sabbath keeping forum would do the trick, please click on the link below and click yes to indicate support for the Sabbath keepers sub forum.

Thank-you very much

Well if you're of a conservative bend you could start here~not used much. After all, apart from the SDA folks, how many saturday christians are there around?

There are a couple requests, including yours in Suggest New Forums for a Sabbath Keepers forum. It looks like you and one or two others have taken the proper path to getting a new forum implemented.

Is it true this forum is being denied, or has the request just not run the length of the process yet? If there is sufficient interest and consensus for one, and all other criteria being met, such a forum request is usually granted, in my experience.

conservative? how do you figure?

Actually, I see no defense to their position other than the fact that it agrees with the Jewish day.

The fact is that Sunday was chosen by the Apostles and other fathers of the Church based on the fact that the Jewish Christians would attend Jewish services on Saturday and then attend Christian services on Sunday until they were excommunicated from the synagogues.

So the question for me would be whether or not the Sabbath Keepers would know better than the Church Fathers or Apostles on what day the Sabbath would be for Christians and I cannot in all conscience say they do.

The other problem that I have is the assumption the Sabbath Keepers seem to be making that anyone in disagreement is in schism with Christianity. I have to ask myself if worshipping Jesus on Sunday in essence seperates us from God.

conservative? how do you figure?

Exactly. Methodists and Pentacostals seem a world apart to me in their degrees of Christianity.
