We are no longer allowing posts or threads that deny the existence of Covid-19. Members have lost loved ones to this virus and are grieving. As a Christian site, we do not need to add to the pain of the loss by allowing posts that deny the existence of the virus that killed their loved one. Future post denying the Covid-19 existence, calling it a hoax, will be addressed via the warning system.

“Zip-Tie Guy” identified as retired Air Force lieutenant colonel
He says he found the zip ties on the floor and was going to give them to the next cop he came across. Anybody's guess, I suppose.

"Non-denominational"??? What does that even mean?
Ok. We all see folks these days dancing around in various churches who label themselves as "Non-denominational." But I'm wondering about the meaning and denotation of that term since I see people here on C.F. who, as far as I can tell, are sometimes Christians BUT also sometimes not.
And frankly, I don't trust the term. I feel it is too amorphous and possibly obscurantist to mean anything. If a person wants to claim the label of "Christian," even if he or she is like me and feels somewhat Existentialistic about that identity, why doesn't he or she just accept the term, "Christian."
I guess I feel I have to ask because, frankly, I don't trust the variability involved in the term "non-denominational." And the Analytic Philosopher... -
Was Marcion a heretic?
I was thinking of putting this in the Christian history section but I'm not so much concerned with Marcion but with the issues he raised.
Marcion and Marcionism is quite a multi topic subject but I'm focussing on his reason for generating a cut down version of the Holy Scriptures (which some say spurred the Early Church to decide on a canon of scripture)
Marcion decided on 10 Pauline epistles (not the pastoral ones) and a cut down version of Luke's gospel. Marcion and his followers were concerned that the "God of the Old Testament" whom he regarded as inconsistent, jealous, wrathful and genocidal did not tally with the God of the NT gospel.
Now I don't agree with Marcion given how much of the OT is quoted in the NT. But I prefer to... -
More on why I reject evolution
Since the subject of evolution and my response to it generates so many responses to my posts, I find it hard to keep track and even harder to be bothered covering the same old ground. So for those who are interested, I post an article of 75 points that cover most of my objections to evolution. I did not write it. The fact that David R Pogge (aka Do-While Jones) is not a biologist is entirely irrelevant. Evolution is not rocket surgery. The concept is simple enough. What is incredibly complex is the mental gymnastics required to believe in evolution.
So, you can find the link to the article here: Seventy-five Theses
If the link does not work, I've uploaded a .pdf copy as well. -

The Deplatforming of President Trump -
If you were retired & planning your will, would you bother leaving anything to these next of kin?
Assume that....
1) The next of kin are nephews/nieces, married, some with young kids. They are the offspring of your sole deceased sibling who you didn't like, but you're trying not to hold that against their offspring. You have no closer relatives related to this decision, like your own parents, spouse, children, grandchildren, aunts, or uncles. The focus is solely on the nephews and nieces, and any children they may have who theoretically benefit later if not now, but whom you've never seen.
2) You aren't close to them by any stretch of the imagination, even if you may have had fun with them as they were kids growing up. You haven't seen them in 16 years, and even then, it was only due to attending family funerals. You haven't kept... -
What is sin?
I’m just curious as to others definition or understanding of what sin is.
I like the Westminster Shorter Catechism.
Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God. -
New World Order ?
Hi,
Before Jesus can return, is there supposed to be a New World Order where the "anti-christ" is supposed to be the leader of for 7 years before Jesus returns ?
Is this is what is supposed to happen ?
Thank you for your feedback -
Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?
If there was no afterlife in any form whatsoever, would you still be a Christian? And if so why? -
Do you think God will punish me for taking so long to accept him and for previous bad choices?
I'm 35 and i'm only now just starting to find and accept God, i know 35 is still fairly young but it is pushing middle age and i wish i had reached this point about 20 or 25 years earlier, i have wasted so much time by not doing so. I had a very traumatic childhood, i was bullied very badly for many years at school and also abused at home by my parents. When i reached early adulthood i couldn't cope with getting out of bed most days, so going out and getting a job and facing the world seemed impossible. I didn't find a healthy way to deal with the abuse and to heal from it, even now i still haven't really healed from it. It still haunts me and still has an impact on my life.
When i was growing up i didn't really feel God, my parents...
