  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Does God Hate Witches?

    No "hidden agenda" here. It is the obvious agenda of some to derail this away from my original intentions. I can use the words "obvious agenda" because so far, no one has attempted to deal with the meaning of those three verses in the OP. I will say this, my intention is to create a very...

    You are attempting to establish something about a topic on which I have been silent. Therefore, you are merely guessing, projecting, and off topic. I AM NOT THE ISSUE. Scripture is the issue here. In advance, I thank you for your cooperation on this.

    Since you believe that is "worth discussing" could you please create a new thread for it?

    You are simply jumping to absurd, improbable conclusions that have no basis in ANYTHING I posted here.

    There is no basis for that interpretation in anything I posted.

    Does God Hate Witches?

    The fact that all of us are sinners and thus have fallen short of the glory of God is important if we are able to establish what those three, now four verses that I quoted all mean in context I do not plan to ignore those types of verses, but to look at them separately, and have no foundation...

    No, friend. Let's deal with the meaning of those 3 verses FIRST. Since this is the THIRD TIME I ask you to tell your understanding of three simple verses, indeed, you ARE playing games to avoid having a conversation based upon mutual understanding. Everyone reading this thread can see your...

    I do not think that it is necessary to go that far back to find the antecedent of "you". Pronouns are most often very close to their antecedent. Look at the first part of chapter 3: There is the "you" in verse 1, which refers to believers. And in verses, 3 and 4, Peter mentions the scoffers...

    I plan to deal with John 6:14 at a later point in this thread. Thanks for your input.

    Does God Hate Witches?

    What do those verses say, awitch? That is EXACTLY the game I am not playing. In order to have a discussion on any positive level, it is necessary to establish a foundation. You seem to be avoiding the creation of a mutually understood foundation. I say that because you are "answering" my...

    Deliberately, I started with those verses for a reason. Very nicely, I am requesting that you and other posters FIRST deal with their interpretation of those 3 verses before we go off on rabbit trails in the woods. That is not too much to ask, is it?

    Does God Hate Witches?

    NOPE! Not playing that game. What do those verses say, awitch?

    Does God Hate Witches?

    You will notice that I am simply asking "What does it say?" Nothing other than having reading comprehension is required.

    Does God Hate Witches?

    FIRST we need to come to an understanding about what God said. To do otherwise would ultimately lead to a negative discussion of Christianity, which is not permitted by their rules, which I quoted in the OP.
