  • 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.

More terrorism uncovered!

Well, not everyone who calls himself a Christian represents Christianity, right? The same is true for just about any ideology or belief system.

do you keeps editing yer posts? ^_^

i don't recall anyone calling theirself a muslim if they were not truly muslim....

in our Bible, however, it is written that many will call themselves followers of the God of the Bible, yet under the scrutiny of Jesus Christ Himself, He will call them out on their false claims.

Just because a person or group call themselves "Christian", does not mean they are. Darkness can disguise itself as light. Know the tree by its fruit.

anyone see the irony in this post? :scratch:

How would you know? Are you an expert in determining if someone is Muslim or not?

The Lord's Resistance Army says it is Christian. Other Christians say it isn't.
The Islamic State says it is Muslim. Other Muslims say it isn't.

Jesus, of course. The LRA was previously known as the United Holy Salvation Army and the Uganda Christian Army.

Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of the living God, the God of the living? They are followers of this Christ?

Based on what, specifically?

Rush Limbaugh said so. QED.

"Have you ever heard of Lord's Resistance Army, Dawn? How about you, Brian? Snerdley, have you? You never heard of Lord's Resistance Army? Well, proves my contention, most Americans have never heard of it, and here we are at war with them. Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. ... Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. They are fighting the Muslims in Sudan. And Obama has sent troops, United States troops to remove them from the battlefield, which means kill them."

Absolutely not. It is not right for Christians to kill. Just like it is not right to take an unborn life, or walk into a church praising Allah and gunning down grandmas.

I totally agree with you! What this beloved Christian did was certainly not murder, but righteous killing of the enemies of Christ because he was there to alieviate society of the worst kind of human beings. Just as you said, his actions are completely justified. If he had made it to a mosque and praised Jesus as he shot some Muslims, Jesus would still be cool with it.

Sure it is terrorism.

But

Was he yelling God is good? Or praise Jesus? Is there an international growing group of Christians openly decapitating people? Or how about a Christian group that slaughtered 30 children and placed their severed heads on fences around the city.

Ops reality sometimes gets in the way.
Look up the Army of God. Oops, I bet they're not real Christians either.

Sure we can call this terrorism. Since it appears that there are many that won't let it go until everyone everyone adopts the PC position that "other groups can have terrorists too", I feel it's still fair to acknowledge the scale and magnitude differences between the variations of "terrorism" that exist so that we aren't deluding ourselves into thinking all forms of extremism are the same.

So...

I propose that we here at CF adopt a "severity scale" to rate these events as they occur. Ratings from 1=meaning mild to 10=meaning utterly brutal.

So, something like marching around with signs and yelling at people would be a 1
Something like creating such mass havoc that people feel the need to flee their homeland and move to other countries would be a 10.

Where on the 1-10 severity scale would this incident rank?

Hmm, I have attended several fundamental Baptist churches over the last 24 years, small and large, and I am currently attending the largest in my city, and never once was I taught to go to abortion mills and kill people. Pray for them yes, but kill them? Never.

Wow. What kind of weak tea Christianity is that?
