Has a disccusion here on CF ever lead you to change your opinion?

[Droobie]

There are many threads here at CF with people with many differing views and opinions. Have you ever changed your opinion through a discussion here at CF?

Poll suggestion thanks to Faerieeva.

[Zaphenath-Paneah]

WHere is the poll?

[Konnie]

No, but it has made me think of other possibilities.

[d0c markus]

yes... never claimed to know everything.

[Lotar]

Indirectly, yes.

[Uzi_4_U]

It is fun to discuss these things, but I have not been led to change my opinion yet. :)

[sarahbug]

I voted yes, but it's more a matter of it lead me to put more research and thought into a particular subject, which caused my original to become enriched, and yes, sometimes changed. Hope that makes sense. :)

[Palatka44]

I voted yes, but it's more a matter of it lead me to put more research and thought into a particular subject, which caused my original to become enriched, and yes, sometimes changed. Hope that makes sense. :)Although I voted no but it has made me think of other possibilites. And upon pondering other points of view in most cases my view is made stronger. Just call me "Bull Headed".
However I confess that I do not know everything so lets do this poll again in a few months and who knows someone just might get through this thick skull.

[mrversatile48]

I didn't vote: it's only my 2nd day here, but it's worth saying that the fellowship of those who disagree is often more valuable, in strengthening character, & driving us to tje Bible, "to see if these things are true"

I can't recall if I put here that there are 2 series, in this week's "Thought For The Day" that help members of a Christian discussion forum - or any forum

Mon/Wed is @ coaching each other, & Fri/next Mon @ handling criticism God's way

See http://www.ucb.com & click "Word For Today"

[Dawn Marie]

Yep. It's a good change.:)

[DJ B.K.]

CF hasn't made me change my opinion dirctly, but has made me think about my opinion and lead to changes.

[jons911]

After reading your posts, can I change what I voted.

LOL ;);)

[d0c markus]

it has also shown me that i dont want to be calvinistic nor catholic, nor orthodox, or mormon or JW.

[chris42]

Yeah, CF has broadened my understanding about subjects.

[faerieevaH]

CF has broadened my understanding, and I think it may change my mind on certain topics.

[bigsierra]

Yes, Not on major issues, but I'm always wanting to learn and I've been learning since I've been here.

[Mekkala]

No. But then, I've only been here a very short time.

[Oblivious]

Nope, not yet!

[d0c markus]

do you think, people are stubborn that when they make a post, they truley believe they are right though shown how they are wrong they reject that on pride?

[faerieevaH]

Seems like a difficult question... *chuckles*

[daydreamergurl15]

No, it made me stronger in my walk with the Lord

[FBI78]

No because i just joined and right now im doing all the polls lol.

[Kathy]

No,not as of yet,but makes me think of other possibilities....

[Glorianna]

Not yet at least!

[violetstar]

Not yet, but maybe one day it will.

[Pacigoth13]

yes, actually.... didn't realise my views were (in relation) flamingly liberal until i came here...

[Blessed-one]

yes. There're always two sides to a story.

[oldrooster]

It has made me look at some things differently......

[Angeldove97]

No, not yet, but I'm an open-minded Christian so I'm reading to listen to what other people have to say on subjects and learn other opinions. ~Angel :angel:

[TheMainException]

since I'm pretty new, I haven't had much time to change my mind.

[Moros]

Yes, many times.

[Athanasian Creed]

There are many threads here at CF with people with many differing views and opinions. Have you ever changed your opinion through a discussion here at CF?

Poll suggestion thanks to Faerieeva.

No, not really but some discussions have certainly made me evaluate my stand on issues more closely, especially in the case of evolution - creation. There are certainly people far more advanced then myself in science and seeing things from their POV has been eye opening to say the least. That being said, i'm still a literal 6-day YECist after having observed posts on theistic evolution.:D

Having been a Christian for over 30 years, it's good to have had my beliefs challenged on certain issues so that i not only understand other people's POV but examine whether what i believe is truly Biblical or not. ;)

[Big Mouth Nana]

Yes, just lastnight in fact. What was funny, I have been posting to the same person for a few weeks, disagreeing like a mad dog, lol. He showed me something pertaining to the antichrist that I had never noticed before. The AC comes out of the bottomless pit:Rev 17:8 ~ The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Also, that the angel in the bottomless pit is called Apollyon...AC/Apollyon?
REVELATION 9 (http://cgi.godsview.com/cgi-bin/rcdenig/pdchap.pl?file=5543&occ=0)
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon
Well, finding out this has changed my Eschotology somewhat regarding who the AC is going to be. NEVER think that someone else can't show you something new. God does use others in the body sometimes, to shed light on His Word.

[Neal]

Not yet... I have on other websites of this nature, but we'll see what I can get outta here. So that's a maybe.

[Saint2be27]

Yes I have! lol

I was seeking advise about my husband...leave it to the mens forum to find the bitter truth, though it was exactly what I needed to hear and I knew how to approach my husband on that matter.

[Waterhouse]

Nope... i'm still as stubborn as ever!

[plum]

yes it has. the MJ forum has been a great catalyst for opening my eyes to see truths i had never seen before.

[ilovechrist2005]

yes it has

[I'ddie4him]

There are many threads here at CF with people with many differing views and opinions. Have you ever changed your opinion through a discussion here at CF?

Poll suggestion thanks to Faerieeva.

To be honest, No. I have opened my mind to see other POV's tho depending on what the topic at hand is.

[AvgJoe]

No, but it has caused to broaden my perspective.

[Lake]

nope,not yet.

[Jatopian]

I put Yes, but I am unsurprised to see No as the majority. Too many close their minds...

[Paladin_Mark]

Yes and its help me develop existing opinions :) and give me totally new ones on things I have had never had opinions on before :P

[A New Dawn]

Yes, I have changed two areas of my life.

First, when I started here at CF, I was modalist, had been for over 20 years. But through discussions on UTD, as well as some private discussions, I became trinitarian a few months ago.

Also, when I came to CF, I was RLDS, and considered unorthodox. Because of many things that have occurred, and sparked by some discussions, also in UTD, I have left the RLDS church and now place my faith totally in the Christ of the Bible.

God works in mysterious ways. :clap:

How cool it that!!!!!:cool:

Praise God!

[Evee]

I voted yes being in apologetics mostly has made my faith much stronger.
I have found the nonbelievers has even less proof than I, since my God is personal and I know what he can do.
These silly Pascal's wager argument makes little sense on a personal level.

[lgintrnj]

its good to think things out from a different angle

Have a great day with our Lord Lori

[AngCath]

all the great input here has helped me to develop and re-adjust opinions as I learn more.

thanks to all the great posters here

[tqpix]

Yes--but only temporarily.

[Redeemed_Warrior]

Not really, most of the discussions i have entered have involved people that were clearly wrong, or had the same views that i held anyway.

**By clearly Wrong, i am refering to clearly un biblical**

[philmwri]

I like getting to view isues from another person's point of view!

[ScarletWitch]

it's made me more open-minded but u can't change what i believe in.

[deetersdee]

Not really but you never know. It's interesting all the different veiws. At least we know we were not cloned!! LOL

[Lynn73]

No, but it has made me think of other possibilities.

I picked the same answer.

[jul7246]

it has opened my mind to other possibilities and it's closer to a "yes" =) i've learned some new things and got support =)
God bless!
Jul

[pumanator]

Yes, in that one should share very little that is personal with others even when asking for prayer

[Ric]

Poll suggestion thanks to Faerieeva.

No, because when one is well grounded in God's Word, one can not change their mind form God's truths. :thumbsup:

[freyajem]

No, but it has made me think of other possibilities.

I copied that from the Poll but I would change the word possibilities to ideas. Other possibilities sounds like I might switch my religion or something. I am always open to ideas which is why I like Polls, but I often run into people trying to prove that I am wrong and I don't like that.

[Ric]

Thinking is a good thing to do!

I agree that some posts have made me think and research topics, but as for changing my mind on what God has done for me and where He has led me - there in no chance for a change in my heart there!

[chokmah]

My participation in this forum helped me change my religion.

[Brooke4Jesus]

I dont think I have been here long enough to have my opinion changed yet.

[PastorJason]

Honestly, not really anything core to my belief, although it has opened doors for new points of view and thoughts.

[Witness Of His Love]

I voted no because I have such strong faith in the way the Lord has taught me.

[godisgr8]

no, but it has made me think.

[Rome]

no but has made me think of other possiblities

[trashy]

Changing one's mind about religion is only slightly easier than changing one's mind about politics. And debating either online is only marginally productive....

[GodFlute2]

Not that I can recall.

[crusader4peace]

it has made me think other possibilities. it really interesting to take part in the CF polls.

[Godslilgurlalways]

They have made me think and see other sides:)

[hillsidehermit]

No, but it has made me study more, and my opinion has changed since I signed up. but not directly as a result of something someone had said.

Jesus be with you and God bless

[LavenderMoon]

no, but it has made me think

[handmaiden97]

so far I havent changed my opinion, maybe im just stubborn (it would not be the first time I was accused of such!) but i have grown to understand others peoples viewpoints a little better

[ChavaK]

I haven't had any opinion changes from the discussions, but I enjoy reading differing opinions...
:D
chava

[krys4ever]

Yes, a few times.

[Lilium]

Yes

[CrystalBrooke]

yes, but they were mostly subjects that I had took a stance on without really knowing a lot about it:sorry:

[ysl_75]

Err..have not think about it before...

[JPPT1974]

Most subjects it does
Most subjects it doesn't!

[lyonguard]

It has added to my list of things to study and made me realize that people will argue over things that do not matter.

[NostalgicGranny]

Completed the poll.

[JennLynn]

Of course NOT!

[JPPT1974]

No not really but sometimes
It makes me take a second look!

[DougLDS]

Yes, but not on anything life-changing.

[Followers4christ]

Not yet.God Bless you all

[JeCrois]

All the time!
