• 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.

How exactly is it a mockery of Christ?

I wouldn't call it a mockery more like a copying a bit like the LGBT who copied the rainbow for their logo.
It's Satan doing what he does best 'COPYING'.

Nonsense.
That doesn't mock Christ at all.
Yes. It requires a huge stretch of the imagination to think that because there are 33 sectors on the UN symbol, and Jesus was 33 years old when He was crucified, that must somehow mean that the UN is mocking Christ.

I’m not into conspiracy theories, even if many turn out to be true. However, if you like such things, the 33 sectors would be most likely connected to the 33 degrees of the Scottish Rite of Freemasons.

Like I said it is not so much as mocking as copying.

Isaiah 14:12

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

This is correct & it was Albert Pike who first introduced Lucifer into the mix.

It's only copying if whoever designed the UN logo thought to themselves, "Ah! Jesus was 33 years old when He was crucified, so I'll make 33 the number of segments on my logo." Surely you are not saying that the number 33 cannot be used because Jesus died when He was 33.
