  • 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.

    Well since there has been no response I guess you have decided not to post your opinion anymore.

    Why does Christianity condemn gays?

    You are wrong, true Christians do not condemn "practicing gays", not the fact that someone is gay. In that they are sinning just as one who lusts after a woman. They are still able to repent, and come back to God. God is Love, and loves all his creation. He created and therefore has the right to...

    The "wine" of New Testament times

    I would think that the wine of then would have been stronger since water many times was unfit to drink and therefore would not be used to "water down" the wine. In fact there are several Eastern and Mid-Eastern countries that drink mostly wine because of water problems.

    How do u get out of it?:(:(

    Seek the help of a good Christian counselor. Someone who will listen not just tell you to get over it. My wife suffers from depression every winter she has what is called S.A.D. if that is the case get some good sunlight light bulbs. Also plenty of exercise, the blood flows, and endorphins kick...

    Is a mentally ill person possesed?

    I did not refer to a verse linking demon possession and mental illness. I in fact used that verse (John 10:20) to prove my point in that the people of that time thought that any "insane" behavior was a demon possession, being that they knew no better. The people thought Jesus was demon possessed...

    Is a mentally ill person possesed?

    These Scriptures was addressed in my last post and therefore no more is needed. So God sends evil is what you are saying. You do not listen to anyone ever do you. I have explained to you regarding the spirit tormenting Saul, but as usual. Kerwin the Great knows all, and when his mind is made...

    Is a mentally ill person possesed?

    Every translation has its problems, and that is why you should use more then one translation, to see if there is a constant, and you need to look at the meaning of a word in its original language. Such as in Mark 5 the Greek word for demon possessed is daimonizomai, which means just that...

    Is a mentally ill person possesed?

    You yourself do not believe all of what God states. How can you you condemn someone for the same. You say that if a verse does not agree with your beliefs it is a mistranslation or misinterpreted. Stop being self-righteous and humble yourself. You continue to add what is not there and ignore...

    I am sorry you missed my point completely. I hope you will read my comments in the correct context and see what I was truly saying. May God bless you and keep you.

    Is a mentally ill person possesed?

    I see your point, but I must say that it is impossible to know your enemy if you do not know about your enemy. I will say here that one must be careful when researching the Devil and his angels. One can get to caught up in it and start giving Satan credit for things he has not done. This is...

    Jesus didn't write his own words down

    You know I could not have said it better. You took all of what I have said and put in into 6 words.

    Is a mentally ill person possesed?

    Do you just make this stuff up as you go along or what. How do you possibly get that I do not believe in the Bible Word of God? You are the one who said regarding to 1 Timothy, "Still I do not find that scripture convincing since if the Bible is not the word of God that scripture could be...

    Is a mentally ill person possesed?

    You really hate science don't you. Those that wrote the Bible were not religious experts, on the contrary they were fishermen, tax collectors, a doctor, a tanner, and other professions. The only one with a formal religious education was Paul, and he was one of the same that Christ was always...

    Jesus didn't write his own words down

    Not by how I understand it, but by what the Word of God says. Anyone who wants to can read the Scriptures and truly see what they say.

    Jesus didn't write his own words down

    Then don't spread false doctrine. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:15-18 So you believe this scriptures is not referring to...
