• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. 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.

Generally this part of the forum can be hostile to circular logic and tap dancing around questions. Comes with the territory. But as the saying goes. Can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.


Yeah I've certainly found ALOT of circular "logic" and tap dancing in this area of the forums. The other issue I've found is people can't handle blunt responses, but don't worry I'll get the hang of it sooner or later. In the meanwhile you might find the kitchen very unpleasant. That's if you're inclined to circular logic and dancing around questions.

I love how we're not talking about anything anymore.

This thread hasn't talked about anything for several pages. It's been a cluster of misunderstanding, which I blame largely on the poor quote system of these forums.

Indeed I am a slave to Christ. Because if you aren't a slave to Christ you are a slave to the evil one who seeks to kill, steal and destroy your life. Take your pick and make your stand. There are NO alternatives.

Or you could grow up, embrace reality, and choose neither. :)

Note to "TheBear" - See had I said something like this you would have told me I was "making things personal, hurling insults, mind reading, assigning evil motivations, and generally focusing on personal attacks rather than the topic at hand"

Figured I should point that out to you just in case you are under some strange impression that I'm the only one who does it. Since something I said knotted you all up.

You're more than welcome to point out where you think I've been guilty of the offense.

Actually from what I've experienced with you, the problem is that you simply don't read what people are posting and grasp an understanding of what it is they are writing. You've taken what I've said completely out of context several times now.

Your idolatry of scripture has blinded you to right and wrong.

There is nothing in scripture that contradicts right and wrong. It is the standard by which all things of this age are measured, and all things fall short.

Right... my humblest apologies for thinking you had been making snide comments and personal assaults when you told me

"Or you could grow up, embrace reality, and choose neither."

Like geekgirlkelli said I tend to take everything out of context.

This statement from the Pope only heightens my admiration for him. He has the courage to yell, loud and clear, about how homosexuality is immoral and needs to be dealt with, and could care less what the world thinks.

How do you suggest it be "dealt with"?

Do you also deal with other immoral things?

Don't know how he thinks it should be dealt with, but here's my thought.

"Gays" (to include all those who practice "alternative" sexuality) and their advocates stop trying to claim the institute of marriage. It is sacred and not theirs to participate in. Let them have their civil unions, but have the respect to recognize that marriage is an institute of God. If you don't believe in God respect that there are those of us who do.

We all deal with immoral things. I guarantee if you have kids and one of them lies to you you will deal with it.
