• 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.

Is Benny hinn a false prophet ?

You can donate money to missionaries & you can help hospitals.

I wasn't a Christian then as I said in that post. Missionaries and hospitals weren't on my mind at that point in my life.

Now that I am a Christian I know better.

Some people are against suing.

Yes, then and now I was an am against suing. I didn't and still don't need millions of dollars, or a big mansion or 10 cars.

Still doesn't make me selfish.

That's why we're against rich televangelists?

I don't know what you're against. I'm not necessarily against him, I am just of the opinion that he doesn't need all that he has. Does he really need more than 2 cars? Does he need all that space, plus a tennis court?

As I have claimed, this is my opinion.

Is the love of money the root of evil?

That's what they say and I am of the opinion that it is indeed true.

I have seen it in my own mother. She values money over everything else.

there should be only one opinion, the opinion of the word, anything else is a lie

So when someone says that they are of the opinion that you shouldn't put your hands on a hot burner because you will burn yourself, that would be a lie because it's not in the Bible?

there is no opinion, the word says it, therefore it is. It came before your opinion, not after it. I have no opinion. I have feelings and perceptions, sight and sound, but they lie, only the word is true

you obviously rely on the former

What are the opinions of the eternal principles?

When Jesus was tempted, he answered in the form of the word. He didn't say it was his opinion, that he agreed or disagreed, he put himself behind it and dug into the ground.

Interesting character, he never had an opinion on anyone. he just said it like it was, every word he uttered was either a prophecy or command. Is this not true?

although, he asked questions, but I would argue that the word is not well understood by humans.

So when you hold your hand on the burning stove and your nerves tell you to take your hand off the stove, your senses are lying to you? In that it really doesn't hurt, since the Bible doesn't say anything on the matter.

No, no, there are some opinions that are indeed true which aren't in the Bible.

So if your eyes tell you that the sky is blue, are you going to say that your eyes are lying to you? If your hear thunder after a lightning bolt has sturck the earth, are you going to say that your ears have lied to you? If you feel hot, and the temprature is 120 degrees out and your out in it, are you going to say that what you feel is a lie?

Do you realize how ridiculous you are sounding right now?

Not everything that happens in our lives that isn't in the Bible is a lie.
