• 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.

  • 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.

Oh, dear!

Someone really needs to lurk here longer, doesn't he?

That mantra was obsoleted years ago and replaced with: GOD SAID IT, THAT SETTLES IT.

The 'I believe it' part was erased when people realized that whether you believe it or not makes no difference.

God said it; end of story.

Thousand apologies

Namaste

What a shame this thread turned into the AV Antic Hour show.

Technically, Genghis Khan is a title, not a name. It means "Great Khan" (or leader/ruler/king, it's not a term that neatly fits an English translation) the guy's actual name was "Temujin"

Padishah.

Sounds like a Robin Williams movie.

True Christianity is not a religion; it is a relationship with Jesus Christ.

So your Chicago-based anonymous book quote does not apply.
It's still called a religion. The religion of Jesus was the gospel of the kingdom of heaven.

Padishah.
That's Persian, not Mongolian. Similar meaning, although, as I understand it a khan is expected to be more of a frontline leader of troops.

I mean, we all know what a cluster the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV was as a military leader. Muad'dib took Irulan off him without spilling any sweat..

Yes ... your book saw to that.

And its followers will make the same mistake; as you are demonstrating.

Its as if you like eating crow 3 meals a day.
James 1:27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

I'm well-familiar with that verse.

Yeah, I merely mentioned it because I learned what the word meant the other night, having been familiar with it from Dune.
