• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

If I had a clue that my thread about Jalen Hurts giving praise to the Lord would have caused expressions of division and strife on Christianforums.com ... then I probably wouldn't have started the thread.

I recommend posting a thread like this in the Christians-Only section of the board next time. That might give you a more edifying result.

I do appreciate seeing this though; it reminds me of Kurt Warner back in my younger days and the chess player Wesley So. Christian athletes who are witnessing for Christ are to be encouraged.

I’m pretty sure that thanking one’s deity for accomplishments and blessings is “normal”, as such, not news unless there’s a heartfelt-backstory, which this story probably has.

Sure!

I don't think God really cares about football, but that's just me.

God ISN'T American.

Remember the story of Jonah? God cared about those Ninevites, and not just the Israelites.

I dont know about the actual existence of God. But real or not, I was convinced that the term, capitalized, refers to a universal deity.

But increasingly it seems the God people refer to is a national or tribal deity. Now the Bible has our country's founding documents within its covers.

With 100% disagreement, I do strongly disagree that the God Whom 99.9% of Christian people refer to in a way making the Lord God a national or tribal deity.
