Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What are you going to do?

So, poppet, are you going against the Word of the Bible?


Maybe a little Luke 6:37 for ya, too.



"An it harm none, do what thou will"

Lying harms dependent upon the situation. I've lied to comfort. I've lied to preserve.

Stealing? Pshh. We can come up with scenarios all day long on that where the law forbids it but the spirit demands it.

Blaspheme? You might have me there. I know a funny joke about Pinnochio and Jesus.

Murder? Haven't done that yet.

Commit adultery? Ahh, if everyone's consenting, is it adultery?


No I am not going against scripture, you just don't know how to rightly divide the word of God. And you may have lied for "good" reasons, but you have still lied for nothing but personal gain. You are just minimizing your crime. Have you ever hated someone? Well, you are a murderer at heart. Yes, it's still adultery if everyone consents.

I don't need to prove it. It's an undeniable fact.
That which is stated without evidence can be rejected without evidence. Just like you.

Explain how there is no chaos considering entropy. Explain how there is no chaos if there are people with different points of view. Explain how there is no chaos if during meiosis the genes that are selected are random. Explain how there is no chaos if the the molecules that make up a gas fly around randomly. Explain how there is no chaos if the electrons that orbit an atom can't be pinpointed. Explain how there is no chaos when people do odd things for no reason.

Oh and Chris, this isn't a flame. Your god is a monster. He torments people forever for breaking any little rule. That is not justice; to be justice the punishment must fit the crime. In the eyes of your god a man who tells a white lie is just as bad as a mass murderer. You worship an evil, vile god.

You claim that only your limited interpretation of the Bible is correct? Sounds like pride to me, you know, one of the seven deadly sins.

Of course the world can be a scary place. However, there is not only evil in this world. Anyone who thinks there is only evil is just as blind as someone who chooses to always ignore the evil. It is not black and white, both good and evil exist within this world - that is not just a thought, it is reality.


Ohhhhh, right right, of course. How silly of me. I'd forgotten that only those who were not "true Christians" ever leave Christianity.
Your arguments become more and more illogical as we go along..

Of course there is good in the world. God is still active in the world. But God is the only one doing anything good. Correct, you can not unsave yourself. It's impossible. Why are you offended if I say you were never a Christian? Wouldn't you have rather never been one in the first place? I am just telling you what scriptures say. Scripture is not illogical.

You should try to back up what you say with proof (hint, the Bible only counts as proof once you have proven the Bible as true..), otherwise, why should any of us believe you? You give us no reason to.

That, and your attitude here really turns people away even more.. do you consider that? Do you think about the best way to approach a non-Christian? Do you realize that we do not believe in the Bible as you do (or yet again, we'd be Christian) so these arguments don't have a whole lot of weight? That accusing us of all sorts of things, just maybe, is not the best way to go?

I speak the truth with boldness. That's what I am told to do. If you don't like it, I'm sorry. But I have the truth, and I will proclaim it as such.

All right, you're welcome to believe that..
I don't mind that you are making an attempt to share your truth. I may not like the way you're doing it.. and truthfully, your chosen methord does seem rather.. counter productive - but you're welcome to do it all you wish.
..Just don't wonder why we're not all just taking your word for it.

Absolutely not. Either he wouldn't be omniscent, because he wouldn't know who was going, or he wouldn't be omnipotent, because he didn't just stop people from going there. Either way, that makes him the antithesis of omnibenevolent - read evil - for condemning his children to eternal torture.

It's just not something I'm buying, sorry.

Well you of course realize you are calling God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit a liar? It is not God's obligation to make sure no one goes to hell. God did it anyway, but it's up to them to make that decision. He knows exactly who is going to hell. Therefore, he is omniscent. He is omnipotent, because they deserve to go to hell. And not everyone is a child of God. The Bible makes it very clear they are children of the devil.

You can not be raised Christian. Christianity is not a race of people. The fact that you know God exist, and yet willfilly reject him is being willfully blind. You are wrong, I do not demonize others. I read the Bible, and it says you are the children of Satan.
HaHaHa. Great logic there dude. You are clearly deluded. It's nice to be reminded from time to time why I severed my connections to that ancient superstitious belief. Thanks for that. I really mean it. ;)

You are the one making the incredible claims. You are the one saying God doesn't exist. You need to provide proof of that claim, not me. God sends those to hell that deserve it. And flaming will not be accepted on this forum. If you feel the need to flame me, go back to your own forum and do it there. Here, you will not get away with it.

The seven deadly sins is a Catholic thing. You will not find that anywhere in scripture. I don't interpret the Bible, it speaks for it's self. Only those wishing the Bible to say what it doesn't say have to interpret it.

You don't take my word for it. You read the Bible, it's in there.

But it's perfectly acceptable for you to say we're all vile sinners and will be tortured for all eternity? Double standard much?

As for proving God, you are the one making the claim. The burden of proof falls on you. But, from what I've seen logic and faith just don't mix and I know what you rely on.
