Good morning all! I'm an OG CF'er. I was an admin/chaplin way back in the day (almost 20 years ago) but have been away from the forum for quite some time. You still see my name pop up in a few things (like some of the stickies here). Life took me away for quite some time... then I lost my...

I read the court documents (or at least skimmed through all... it's over 100 pages) Actually, it was the media attention... brought by the bakers on themselves.. that led to boycotts, etc. The only thing that the couple did was request a cake. Now, while the bakers may have disagreed with...

Actually, Pete... the court documents you linked to specifically say that the bakers intentionally posted the couple's info on social media. They also state that it was the bakers (and not the couple) who went to the media (repeatedly), using both social media and "christian media" such as...

The court documents give the details... here's a quick link/overview: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejoyfeminism/2015/07/sweet-cakes-by-melissa-didnt-just-deny-a-lesbian-couple-service-they-also-doxxed-them-and-their-kids.html

Who said anything about watering down scripture??????

Since a) the scriptures were originally written (primarily) in Hebrew and Greek and b) the English language is one that is constantly evolving/changing and c) there is no such thing as a perfect translation from one language to another then any translation of the Bible would need to be updated...

My point exactly.... Different parts of scripture are written in different genres. Some portions are poetry. Some are proverbs/wisdom literature. Some of are history. Some are teaching. The entire book of "Song of Solomon" or "Song of Songs" (depending on which name you prefer) is actually a...

Right.... Unfortunately, with the media (including the "Christian" media) just giving quick soundbites of the various events/cases it's really easy to miss important parts of what happened. And unfortunately, many of the "Christian" media (and I put Christian in quotes, because, IMO when you're...

A4C... The problems (and the $135,000 penalty the couple was charged.. note: NOT a judgment from a lawsuit, the couple didn't sue them) was NOT for simply refusing to bake a wedding cake... it was for "discrimination and harassment". To reiterate fact from this case again. The couple (who were...

Not sure where you got your information. "Judgment' is only one of multiple meanings for fire in scripture.. including, but not limited to: cleansing illumination warmth comfort empowerment God's revelation of Himself Also "wind" is used as a symbol of some of the same things...but is also...

There are many symbols used in scripture to explain things to us about the nature of God, since it's just difficult to put some things in words. Fire is one of the many symbols used for the Holy Spirit (along with water, wine, wind, a dove, etc.) While I think it can be very useful to use...

I think some of you keep missing the point entirely... The FINE (not lawsuit judgement) that the bakers were ordered to pay was because they were cyber-bullying the gay couple. They posted the couples complete information, including home address, etc. on social media and encouraged others to...

Just dropping in to say, "Hi!"... It's been a while... ^^

Havent' been around here in forever... figured I'd check in just to say hi to old friends! God Bless!

Some of us already do...

LOL... Well, it was Thursday when I put that out.. Replacing yesterday's meal with:

I think the Science Fiction channel is a pretty appropriate place for Bob Larson...

The verse you reference here is specifically about believers. The references in the post you quoted were to non-believers. But the two do go together... When a person dies, they find themselves in one of two places-- either with Christ or in torment-- depending on whether or not they have...

Approximately 1/4 of Jesus' ministry involved casting out out demons. Every single New Testament writer included some teaching on him. 2 Corinthians 2 states we should not be ignorant of him. Sooo... teaching on who/what he is, how to be on guard against his attacks, and the authority...
