• 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.

Fed up with modern Christianity and its music

I can't listen to Christian music artists. Their wealth is a stumbling block. Getting rich from the gospel is wrong.
Find some less modern Christian music performed by poor people.

A lot of churches / denominations / congregations agree with you on that.

So you are making a uniformed judgement.
Casting crowns sings about going into the unknown where Jesus is. But Jesus was poor while that guy has 3 million dollars. I don't understand that at all. It makes me sad. I liked his music.

No. I Google people's net worth. They get rich off of the gospel. Obviously I haven't did this for everyone.
Does that googling tell you how they spend their money?

Wealth is not faith. You cant cry about poor kids but then live in luxury as kids starve and go without clothes
Well, you either have a cell phone or a computer. Couldn’t the money be spent on poor kids?
