  • 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.

And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
-
You left out a few verses.

Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

Amazing how you suddenly concern yourself with context, though I'm not sure what you think you're adding with this.

Jesus is not his creation
Is He not in His creation though? How else would grass or trees grow without God's breath of life that permeates the universe? This is really a good topic. Loving the discussion.
Not on the board you can’t. You’ll have to go to Genius Lyrics for the translation of the halftime performance.
Dang. Genius Lyrics broke down the lyrics. Not gonna say Bunny is a hard-core perv. Will say his lyrcis are too crude for my anointed ears and just as raunchy, juvenile and crass as the other rappers and rockers out there. Glad it was in Spanish because this was not "ready for prime time" in English.

Yes it has. But since none of us know the true status of his heart, I won't be a party to judging him. I said before I wasn't a fan; but I'm not going to hold his past over him. I was one of the biggest "judgers" out there. I've got enough crapola in my life that people could judge me for even though I strive to live like Chirst. We still err. We still fall short at times. Let's give him grace and let time tell if he is living a life dedicated to Christ's glory.

The translations talk about his penis. More than I want to know.
And his conquests, etc. if anyone watched it, both him and female dancers were grabbing their crotches while dancing during the pertinent lyrics.

But that seems to be a standard "move" among all male rappers and the dancers on stage being half naked. I think that started with Michael Jackson and the rest of them adopted it, and now no one can sing without clutching their genitals. Tiresome.

True but this performance was pretty choreographed to go with when he was being explicit in the lyrics. I read lyrics all the time. The sudden outrage with Kid Rock’s lyrics he wrote in the past to go with his brand is nothing new. It’s more than hypocritical. Look at the mysogyny and abuse written in rap songs as far back as the 90s. It’s all about brand. Some have done and experienced those things and use it as their brand. Some write what they think sells. But it seems more than a bit hypocritical to suddenly be concerned only because their politics disagree. People need to view things fairly and not through some tribal political lense. I don’t like crude songs about people bragging about abusive and vulgar situations. Don’t care who they are. But if someone repents and is trying to follow the Lord and become a new creation in Christ, I can’t judge their sincerity. Even if they are not my cup of tea.

Again-

In his track, Safaera, Bad Bunny boast about explicit sexual acts, drug use and casual hookups, with repeated references to arousal and sex performed while intoxicated.

One widely shared translation paraphrases a line suggesting that a woman’s partner is inadequate if he does not perform a specific sexual act.

Other tracks of his, like Tití Me Preguntó, reference juggling multiple sexual partners and genital size.

'These are the lyrics Christians are being told they should have embraced and celebrated,' Basham wrote, adding that she was disturbed by claims that kids would 'get a kick out of hearing this Spanish.'
