  • 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.

Angels are real. This is a story that I believe is true some may have already heard it before. There was a man that had just returned home after committing an evil sin he had murdered a number of innocent people. On returning to his home he decided that if anyone was to get in his way he will do the same to them. Not long after he heard a knock on his door so he nervously but forcefully opened the door only to see a little old lady standing there she said sir can I share the gospel with you, The man said no leave me alone I don't believe in God and slammed the door shut. Well, the man was finally caught for his crime and he was sentenced to 45 years in imprisonment for his merciless crime. The man had completed 2 years of his sentence when a visitor to the prison approached him and said sir can I share the gospel with you he replied no go away the little old lady said to him sir haven't we met before the man gave her a hard look and said yes I remember you, You came to my home and asked me the same question you were very lucky that I didn't kill you that day. The little old lady asked the man why didn't you kill me the man replied how could I with two giant men standing on each side of you. Yes, Angels are real.

I'll have a pint of what you're drinking.
You are becoming very popular do you think you could write something about your tragic past so we Christians can have something to comment on. All the best and God bless.

What makes you think that I've had a tragic past?
Very interesting that you made that assumption based on my non belief.
No, I was basing that on the assumption of your need for alcohol but I can't help you there as I don't use or possess the substance. My post wasn't confusing spirits with angels.

What makes you think that I have a need for alcohol? And my past is tragic?
You don't know me at all, I make no assumptions about you based on what you've written, and I think it's kind of rude and not very Christian of you.
I think that I may have hurt your delicate feelings by being sarcastic with you after you were sarcastic with me isn't that just a little bit unlogical of you. Don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house.

No you're wrong, I'm not a teacher and comedian.... I'm a hopeless alcoholic with a tragic past.
It's not all doom and gloom though, at least I can spell.
Your funny but I can top that one. People say I look funny so I can be a comedian and I won't even have to tell a joke.

It's been a pleasure to interact remotely with you but alas it's time for me to visit my local liquor store. I believe they have a two for one offer on all unbranded vodka.
If you go to the supermarket they sell rubbing alcohol it's 10 times cheaper and it's the same stuff. And I am talking from past experience.

Hay Brian I think I have learned something here I'm going to become a relationship counselor. Hears how it works I get courting couples and advise them to have the biggest argument of their lives and tear strips off each other and after that go and get married. It seems to have worked for us.

I doubt that you'd make a living doing that!
I reckon you could make a few quid as a medium though. Just pretend that you can communicate with the dead and Bob's your uncle.
I tried that but it's not very profitable it takes me too long to go through all the names before I get the right one. By the way Brian is it cooling down over their crazy weather I believe.

Yep, we had 40° over here for the first time in recorded history. Cooled down now, more in line with what we expect for the time of year.
That's the sort of temp we get over hear sometimes and I can't handle it with my pasty scotish skin. we will have to call you lot little Australia if that heat was to keep up.

Re. angels: If you’re open minded, and not easily offended, you might consider reading an early 20th century French novel, La Revolte des Anges (The Revolt of the Angels.) Written by Anatole France, a journalist, author, and critic. It’s about the guardian angel of a wealthy young man, who comes down to Earth to study in the man’s extensive library. He reads books on history, philosophy, science, theology, geography, and many other topics. He comes to suspect that everything he thought he knew about God, is upside down. God is not the righteous, holy deity as portrayed in the Bible. He’a actually a power-mad demiurge (a minor god) who craves worship and adoration. Satan, OTOH, who was the greatest and brightest angel is the true lover and benefactor of mankind. Who led the unsuccessful rebellion against the dictator God, and whose name and reputation have been falsely smeared for all eternity. I won’t get into the rest of the plot. The link has more info:

The Revolt of the Angels by Anatole France

Of course, the book was immediately banned as heretical and blasphemous by the RCC when it was published. But that didn’t prevent Anatole France from winning the Nobel Prize for literature. Being banned might actually have helped it win. :oldthumbsup:

We've just had rain for three days straight after the heatwave... That's the trouble with the UK, one extreme to the other.
I'm hoping for some more dry weather for our holiday next week, we are off to Anglesey for a week.
I hope you have a good time it looks like a nice place on the west side just don't get too close to those mad Irish.

It sounds very interesting and quite controversial I guess it would be something like this that would be my greatest fear if it was true. But I'm not offended by any possibility or anyone's opinion it is something that I have contemplated in the past regarding is Christianity really a deception but I have found the truth and respect all nonviolent people's opinions in fact I think that God has a very special attachment to non Christians that are good people and show love to others. Thanks for the link and I will have a look into this book just for the entertainment value.
