  • 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.

I thought the show was good and the dancing well choreographed. It was high-energy, uplifting, and did a great job showcasing Puerto Rican culture. The dancing wasn't any more sexualized than what you see from a team's cheerleaders during a game.


From the videos I've seen and the articles I have read since the Super Bowl, the overwhelming response from the Puerto Rican community seems to be supportive of Bad Bunny's performance and gave them a strong sense of pride.
Whatever works. I got flowers to buy. :wave:

The singer’s use of the phrase, "God Bless America," and performance called on a larger definition of what "America" means and was widely interpreted as a reframe — drawing criticism and applause from media, politicians and others. The show also featured people waving the flags of various countries, including the U.S.

"And also, this is America. Not the United Nations. If you legally immigrate here from another Nation, fine. You’re welcome here," Texas State Rep. Jeff Leach wrote on X. "But when you become a citizen, you stop flying your native flag, and you fly the American flag. What in God’s name is the NFL thinking?!?!"

"One thing non-Hispanics may not fully grasp is that when Bad Bunny said ‘God bless America’ and listed dozens of countries, he was invoking a very old trope of the Latin American left, which insists Americans arrogantly claimed the name of two continents for ourselves," one X user noted.


Pretty much.

Jeff Leach sounds like an idiot.

I have an Irish flag. It represents my Irish ancestry and my pride in my Irish ancestry.

It is arrogance. Our country's name is the United States of America. We are just one country of the Americas.

I agree with Jeff Leach.

I wonder what Jeff Leach feels about Americans who wave around treasonous flags.

It is not arrogance. It is our nation's name.

I hope that he would be as strongly against it as I am.

Paula White preached at my former church about 15 years ago. I don't know, but I thought then, and think now that she is "religious." But what do I know. Like you said, and it is totally true, only God knows who is saved.

There's a difference between being religious and being a Christian.
Yeah, Paula White is a false teacher.
What denomination was your former church?

Evangelical. I don't know that she is a false teacher per se, I just felt something "off" about her. She may be one of the most committed Christians on earth. I just didn't feel that when she taught. But God doesn't judge her by my feelings.

The board won't allow me to respond to your last reply to me, so I will post my response here. I'm trying not to judge her so I am being careful in what I say about her. I believe she is "sincere." I believe she thinks she is truly in the will of God. But I am not drawn to her nor what she espouses. I've seen her on several shows and I don't particularly like what I pick up. I know we are to call out false teachers and there are a ton of them out there. But again, I think her fruit tells people all they need to know.
