• 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.

Probably “you shall love your neighbor as yourself”. This commandment of Jesus includes murder but not just murder (Luke 18:20). In fact it encompasses 4 of the 10 commandments including giving false testimony.

Which sin would be worse than murder

If my measure is how much harm the sin does to the other person, then there are probably forms of torture, maiming, etc., that are worse than murder.

(But I'm going to get nightmares if I meditate on that too long, so I think I'll stop now.)

That's up to God, not us. And consider that God is absolute good. A man in San Bernardino is closer to Paris, France, than a man in Anaheim, but both are very far away, so far that there's no real difference between the two.

Pro 6:16 - These six things the LORD hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

Pro 6:17 - A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,

Pro 6:18 - A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,

Pro 6:19 - A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.
