- We exist to serve God, glorify Him and delight in Him. We exist to
- provide fellowship among believers and witness to non-believers. We
- exist to discuss Christian and Jewish theology and world views on a
- mature level. Our historical scope is that of classical and
- philosophical apologetics, theology, counselling, teaching, ministry to
- the cults and occult, assisting researchers, pastors, educators and
- others with these matters, and exchange information on these issues. We
- are also interested in current events, international affairs and world
- cultures, the United States of America, Israel, captive nations, and
- human rights in a serious way. This is a family network.
-
- We wish to link Christians together, as well as provide reliable
- information of concern to believers, researchers and others. Those
- interested in current events and international affairs, particularly
- CIS/Europe, the Middle East and Israel will find FINET of special
- interest.
-
- We gladly will cross-link Christian networks or feed them ONLY IF
- they permit it. One goal is to encourage and make it easier for
- believers to talk and work with each other; we need not only chit-chat,
- we can work with one another. Another goal is to provide a forum for
- responsible exchange of ideas and world views. Other goals include
- making it easier for SysOps to participate with such fine networks as
- MJCN, which are difficult for many to implement technically, and
- generally assist and encourage new Christian and Messianic sysops and
- bulletin boards. We offer to provide communications for the
- administrative email and efile needs of apologetics ministries and
- linking others to share information jointly in their work. There are
- some small networks, some with only a few conferences, which are
- difficult for many to locate or implement. In time, we hope to help
- bring these together so that callers can readily participate and SysOps
- interface with these.
-
- The nature of some local boards as Freedom Infonet is such that very
- thoughtful messages are often posted but do not get shared with
- "networks"; this is an opportunity to share these messages. Freedom
- Infonet has many long distance callers. Having local access nodes has
- been requested for some time to make it easier for callers to stay in
- touch. We now have the technical means in place to offer this
- capability.
-
- FINET is a source of encouragement to help small boards grow or
- start. We started, in fact, largely helping other sysops start up, set
- up and maintain their boards, and offering resources not easily found
- elsewhere. We also offer apologetics and resource information, as well
- as discuss Israel in a responsible, informed manner without flames
- breaking out. This is an opportunity for boards electronically local to
- Freedom Infonet to share resources--not only messages, but expertise
- as well. We are not another "me too" network and do not compete with
- other Christian networks. We are here to complement them. We try to
- assist new sysops where possible, as well as provide RBBS support.
-
- Some networks are not apologetics oriented, or cannot discuss cults
- or the occult in detail, except in the macrocosm. Since I have a
- ministry in this area, I welcome such exchange of information here.
- Several boards have asked Freedom Infonet RBBS to share its interesting
- and unique conference(s), we offer these as FINET. We offer RBBS
- support for sysops as well.
-
- We offer MJCN, the Messianic Jewish Computer Network, for which a
- special burden exists in my heart to assist them, and other resources
- as they become available. Perhaps the most valuable resource we can
- share is each other and the gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
