• 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.

Take any of the 'main reasons' and find the root cause. There you'll find Godlessness.

That's your opinion, I asked for evidence.

If you find anything else, let me know.

Whut? You want me to provide your evidence?

There's your problem, isn't it?

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

It's not about Who you know, it's about Who knows you.

I didn't say I had a problem with it, but as a basis for a system of morality, it is not something I would teach to my children.

Yes.

Ever heard of Moses killing an Egyptian?

Samson killing Philistines?

Both are mentioned in what we call the Hall of Faith (Hebrews 11).

Yet ...

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


Entrance into Heaven is based on one thing:

Is your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life?

Sounds like a monster to me. WHat sort of dispicable being cares more for what people believe than how they act?

Isn't that like saying that I'll take any kid to disneyland, as long as they publicly proclaim I am the best? I'll take Johnny, who tortures kittens, steals other kids' lunch money and cheats on his exams. But little Suzie, who studies hard, donates her pocket money to charity and rescues baby birds, she doesn't think I'm the greatest, so she can't go.

Do you really think Johnny is the most deserving kid here? And yet this is exactly the sort of behaviour that you claim God engages in.

Evidently George Carlin's father thought the same thing.

Maybe one day you're children will make you proud by posting on here about how good Mr. Carlin was at "summing things up pretty well", eh?

There's nothing like a good dichotomy, is there?

What's bad though is when you don't know much in between.

Was not his summation of your religion accurate?

Do you have a date for that, Mr. Camping? Making promises that you cannot keep?

Mr.Camping was a scam artist and so was George Carlin, they both are burning in hell forever (to be candid about it) . The bible says no man knows the day and hour...but we know we're close because we see a great falling away and perilous times.

Matthew 24:36:
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

I dare you to define religion in a way that doesn't also include what you believe.
Just as weight occurs when gravity is resisted, religion occurs when the Bible is resisted.

To a born again Christian, a religion is a system designed on man's
ideas and rituals. The bible is direct from God so is not designed by
man. It is a personal relationship with Jesus/God. It does not require
rituals nor does it worship idols.

There is a difference between world religions and Christianity. If you want
to call Christianity a religion, that is fine but we don't associate ourselves
as a religion.
