Well, it seems like everyone around here is happy to twist the scriptures claiming without any scriptural basis that "God take anyone anywhere as he jolly well pleases". Fair enough. God can also save anyone anytime as he "jolly well pleases", even the unrepentant sinner-because He's God. I...

You truly are unbelievable. You start your own thread spewing hatred and contempt for others that don't subscribe to the manner that they post around here on CF and not believing in the fundamentals of Christianity, whilst completely showing a complete utter lack of knowledge of even the most...

Yeah, but it is not "man" that said there is a gulf between Heaven and Hell that cannot be crossed-it is Jesus himself. You can't throw in a piece of scripture so far out of context that it's not funny, to negate the very words of Christ himself. If Christ says something is impossible-then...

I'm with this guy. It's been shown that a dying brain releases a flood of hallucinogenic chemicals extremely similar to ketamine. And I spoke to a girl once that overdosed on ketamine and she had the same "NDE" -white light, tunnel etc. Tell me something, how can a "NDE" be fair? If you...

To me, she epitomizes the far left liberal religious figure. In the same way that for me, someone like Mark Driscoll epitomiszes the far right religious figure. She's all anti authority, liberal, anti establishment and Mark Driscoll is ultra conservative, pro authority and full submission to...

Hi there again. Thank you for your response. As I said, I didn't mean to be rude. I underlined what I think is a critical portion of your reply. And lol, I agree with your own assessment. I think I understand where you are heading with your questions. I think I would completely reword...

Please forgive me if I'm coming across as rude. But I just have to ask this. What is it with you, The Unforgettable Fire, and an endless stream of odd/strange threads started by you? Surely I am not the only one to notice. Hey, it's a public forum so go nuts in participating here by all...

Why would any sane Christian take "Pastor" Driscoll seriously? The man is a chauvinistic misogynist of the worst variety and a proper loon. This is the same man that encouraged on Facebook members of his church to submit who was the most effeminate man on his music team. Seriously? If I was...

This is an old rehash of a well fabled ethical/moral dilemma. I remember this at school, along with other scenarios. However, this rehash is not correct. The correct one goes something like this: You are a train switch operator. There is a runaway train on a rail line coming up to a...

The statement highlighted in red is utterly ridiculous and what I expect from a "renowned atheist". I do expect better from professing Christians however. Jesus is not a "Christian". He is the Son of God. A "Christian" is one who follows Christ. Jesus is the one to be followed, not the...

I really don't understand this thread at all. Isn't the question of whether a pastor should be paid or not dependant upon the size of the church? Obviously, a pastor overseeing a church of thousands will not have the time to work a secular job. And in fact there will be the need for other...

Exactly. I love the way people put their own twisted spin on Biblical verses. Truly, the Bible can be twisted to mean anything for anyone. Everyone from liberals to fundamentalists, from atheists to Westboro members. "Loving" your enemies is ripped right out of context here. Jesus never...

Hi everyone. I was responding to a thread in the 'Spirit-filled/Charismatic' section of CF regarding an allegation of a particular church that covered up for a husband accused of wife beating. A female poster questioned the whole doctrine of "submission" unto husbands by wives, and blamed that...

Fine then. Why do you "ignore" the rest of Paul's writings and pick and choose what parts of his teachings to obey? Do you go to a church where women's heads are covered, where they sit and are completely silent? If not, why not? Are these instructions of Paul's not as valid as his...

Can I just say something here? The above scriptural reference is of course from the Paul, who says that men are to be submitted to by their wives. Over the years I have been at CF, I have come across a few very fervent Christians that quite frankly question the writings of Paul. Claiming that...

This is a complete and utter twisting of scripture. You display a Baptist icon, you should know the scriptures better than this. To "turn the other cheek" has got nothing to do with grievous crimes. Turning the other cheek is about letting go of personal hurts against us. Hurts, slander, insults...

There is a vast difference between the original Nazis and todays few neo-Nazis. Yes, there were plenty of jack booted thugs in Nazis during the 30's and 40's. But there was also the sophisticated and intellectual Nazis of politicians, clery, businessmen, industrialists etc. A great example is...

Well. let me tell you that I had to hide my toilet roll dispensations from my collegues at work. We were talking about this very issue at work once, about hanging the toilet roll feeding down the back versus feeding down the front. And my deputy boss claimed that it's a "well known phenomenon"...

Spot on!!! Hey, this is my thread, so I can derail it if I want. This utter garbage of attempting to differentiate a "foetus" and a baby. You can kill it so long as it isn't born yet. Yeah, makes sense to me.....NOT.

Aren't you taking all of this a bit seriously? Anyone watching a sitcom knows very well that it's all tongue in cheek, that's it not serious. Take the show, "The Simpsons". It's not as simple as you think. Take Ned Flanders for eg. He's portrayed as a nerdy goody goody fundamentalist. But...
