  • 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.

Are angels male or female? Facts from the Bible.

Matthew 22:30 - Jesus states angels have nothing to do with marriage.
Perhaps the main purpose of creatures being made male and female is reproduction (Genesis 1:28, 7:3 etc).
Angels do not need to reproduce, so God has not made them male and female. We still need to recognise that these offspring of God are persons, (even if some are described as flaming fire), which is why the Spirit presents them in Scripture as a particular gender, choosing the masculine form the gender-less God is also represented.

Ya know, considering Matthew 22:30, I sometimes wonder if the fact that there will be no marriage between humans, then there will be no reproduction, therefore no more need for sex, therefore no sex drive? I gotta admit, I kinda hope so because wouldn't it be so nice, as a male, to never be tempted to lust for a woman again (and vice versa) - thus being free to admire each other's beauty without fear?
